    Personally, making sure I’m comfortable physically and mentally is a lot more effective than looking for more hours. Sure, my sleep schedule is fucked, but it’s gotten better since I’ve realised that somehow extra screen time helps me sleep, mainly by making me focus on other topics, and lets me jot down what’s bothering me.

    And people keep pestering me about my screen time as though it’s the reason I have insomnia… even though I barely used any screens until I was probably 10, and I’ve always had that damn insomnia.

    But I haven’t had enough “me” time to recover from the previous 16 hours of things I didn’t consent to be required to do, but have to anyway

      After a while sleep becomes the me time 😭😭😭

      I took a break from study and realised the me time isn’t even helping me to re-approach school. I’ve had infinite me time. Sleep, however, is so much more powerful than I knew

    I suggest you all look into first sleep and second sleep. It seriously changed my life. And I love it. We need to bring it back. It’s what we would naturally do if we weren’t surrounded by constant artificial light

    The problem isn’t when You go to sleep. The problem is that You are being forced to get up unnaturally early.

      All to get to a job that is actually taking a hit by requiring employees to be there for more than 6hrs a day and to which you spend way too much time commuting. Not to mention that there’s a good chance we’re literally built to have varying sleep schedules, originally to watch for predators, so half the population is just getting completely fucked because the only people we consider valuable are those whose day starts earlier.

    Doesn’t matter to me. Go to bed 12 hours before and still can’t get 8 hours of sleep. Wake up 20 times a night plus laying down takes me 30 minutes or more to fall asleep. Never rested.

      I can’t lie, it’s the opposite for me. If I feel to energetic before bed, I have a coffee and it more often than not makes me sleepy.
