  • Thats fair, there might be a better solution though if thats a reliable enough problem. At least you’d feel more secure you wouldnt oversleep.

    For me routine seems to do it, I wake up the same time anyways, but if I miss too much sleep I have overslept before out of exhaustion.

    But if that didnt work, theres got to be a loud enough alarm thats hard enough to disable to guarantee I wake up. At least wake up long enough to realize how exhausted you are and maybe call off work or something.

    My sister had an ultra loud alarm when she was a kid but she slept through that too. I think you can get an alarm that vibrates or use your phone with a puzzle lock or something.

    Sleep is important, its a worthwhile thing to do well.



  • Sort of. Its very expensive if someone else doesnt pay for it. CVS quoted me 350$ for a single dose inhaler.

    It is true that its not hard to get if you go to places that offer help, but if I’m hiding an addiction from my family, I’m not stopping by the local methadone clinic for a box of naloxone.

    As for marijuana legalization, its made a huge difference. Its one of the best comfort medications for handling minor opiate withdrawal, as it takes the place of maybe 5 or so other comfort medications that are often prescribed together.

    It can’t be abused the same way opiates can be, it has a ceiling affect and is not dangerous to the user immediately. On top of that, before it was legal, methadone clinics would either restrict their patients who used, or kick them out. Now, they see the drug test show marijuana and just don’t care.

    Thats mainly from the perspective of a drug addict. A drug naive person maybe is more likely to go to a dispensary and be happy with that rather than chase street highs.





  • That part about being afraid youll oversleep is also anxiety.

    Anxiety prevents sleep, general advice is to have a routine that calms you down.

    My thing is just somehow convincing myself theres nothing to be anxious about. It really helps though if you can handle whatever might happen as a result.

    Last time I couldn’t sleep like that it was because I had sentencing in the morning and I didnt think I could handle prison. Luckily I didnt have to go.



  • If you are pretty hungry thats all doable for sure! For like an average size meal I’d do one crunchwrap or three tacos.

    They let you add on pretty much whatever too so I just pick the cheapest tacos and burritos and make them supreme myself. I get a bean and rice burrito, fresco (replaces dairy and meat with pico de gallo), add fries/potatoes inside, add jalapeños, and lettuce. Comes up to like 3.50 or 4.00 for it.

    All the other fast food places prices around me make taco bell look like a fantastic deal, I’ll say that.









  • That only applies if its someone in your social circle. You can follow up with them and ask why, learn about their struggles or stance on it.

    With strangers you have none of that, just little glimpses into their life for a few seconds as they cross yours. When we are out in public it is very important to make quick judgments for safety, but this often is confused with moral judgment.

    There are very few people in each persons social circle that they know well enough to judge morally. Strangers aren’t close enough by a long shot.

    With all this considered, I have to conclude its best to always give strangers the benefit of the doubt when personal safety isnt involved.

    I’m concerned this post is showing people are coming to the opposite conclusion, that we now have this great new way to judge strangers we shouldnt be judging to begin with.
