Well, maybe if they had a third job they would be more tired.

But my third job is to be recorded sleeping, and I'm about to get fired!

I want to sleep, but my brain wants to go over the list of reasons why I should hate myself. He's very insistent.

Everybody on Earth sleeping less, more stressed, but don't forget to be humans, guys

This is something that working from home helped me out with a lot. More time sleeping instead of commuting. Even during lockdown times, the adequate amount of sleep I was getting kept me in higher spirits.

I close my eyes but nothing happens 🤷‍♂️

In both suburban(+rural?) and city areas, I hear a lot more of people racing their cars and honking lately. I suppose it is how they deal with their stress, by ignoring the needs of others as they think only of themselves.

Even if the former stuff is not the actual and literal cause of sleeplessness, I do find it highly emblematic/symbolic. People get theirs and everyone else can deal with it as best they can, or not, whatevs.
