For various unavoidable reasons, I’m on an average of 4 hours and I don’t like it, let alone take pride in it.
Take heart. I averaged about 4.5 hours a day for 3 years running on third shift. I’ve since changed back to first and have been at almost 7 for over a year. There’s a light at the end of the tunnel.
Misery Olympics, or Competitive Suffering.
No matter how bad you have it, someone else has to tell you they have it worse.
Something I learned from cycling: When you put effort into using it, the morning is this mysterious beast of free time. We often get used to waking up, doing two-three things, and then it’s noon.
If you consciously sleep early, wake up early, and maybe plan to go somewhere as soon as you’re up, you can be back home planning to shower at your normal time, practically seeing your half asleep self doomscrolling in your bed from a prior day. You could even put a whole gaming session before your workday, if your job starts late enough.
8 sleep? Yes. But what about naps, snoozes, dozing off, lucid dreaming, daydreaming, just resting my eyes, sleepwalking, wake sleeping, meditative trances and altered consciousness?
No
Short term and long term are ill defined subjective entities, if my short term is long term enough I win.
Thank you for your wisdom monkey man
I lowkey hate people like this . You can say “I’m so tired I did 15 hour shift today” and they’ll say “that’s nothing I did a 24 hour shift and still haven’t slept”. I didn’t ask???
while it does make you seem like a badass, it really just means your performance is bad, ass.
Do people actually flex how much of less sleep they got? I never met anyone who do this.
Absolutely
I saw this last night, and only got 4. Damn your eyes, I have to work DX
