So fucking true, a lot people take so much pride in not getting enough sleep it is scary, and then they actually start judging if you sleep more than 6 hours

[–] [email protected] 19 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I lean into it. "Oh you only slept for 20 mins? I feel great, I got a full 8 hours. I don't even drink caffeine because I sleep so well".

[–] idunnololz 19 points 11 months ago

You drink coffee because you feel tired without it.

I drink coffee because I love the taste.

We are not the same.

I got 9 hours of sleep last night

This is the first time I've been awake in my entire life.

[–] SoleInvictus 3 points 11 months ago

I've never been awake, I'm reading this all by astrally projecting from my dreams. Nevermind how I'm writing anything.

Sleeping on that trans-Pacific flight does wonders for catching up on that sleep debt.

It's that grind-set mindset, people think not sleeping is a sign of prosperity, but in reality it's strongly linked with early dementia.

Literally the capitalist mindset. Go to sleep late and wake up early, so you have more time to work ("grind" or "hustle"). Every day I hate capitalism more and more

As someone with insomnia problems that have been reoccurring throughout my life, that was a terrifying read thank you.

[–] xpinchx 10 points 11 months ago

This, same with "I had a tough day" and "my day was worse" type comments. Just let me vent then I'll listen about your day.

Is it more or less unhealthy when I lie about my lack of sleep to shut people up?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

I'd say that's still unhealthy because it helps perpetuate the myth that less sleep is a thing to admire. Maybe instead we should start bragging about how much sleep we are getting. As a dad of an 18 month old, I already regularly brag about that to my coworkers who also have little kids.

[–] RQG 3 points 11 months ago

Yeah I'm with you on this one. Getting enough sleep should be something we thrive for.

[–] LucidNightmare 8 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I just fucking hate sleeping. 😅

[–] LucidNightmare 2 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I really, genuinely, hate sleeping. To me, it is such a waste of time that I could be learning something new or doing something productive!

[–] AnxiousOtter 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I hate sleeping because I know all that's waiting for me tomorrow is more work.

[–] LucidNightmare 5 points 11 months ago

and the existential crises!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

doing something productive

What do you produce?

[–] LucidNightmare 5 points 11 months ago

Nothing. I’m too busy sleeping.

[–] Saltblue 7 points 11 months ago

Ah yeah, the misery olimpics you can't say shit because somehow their life is worse.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

I get -1 hours of sleep a night. I'm awake and stealing your dreams.

[–] Agent641 4 points 11 months ago

OMG That was you that lurked my nightmares last night?!

You were a good kisser NGL

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

What else am i supposed to do? Sleep and fail at literally everything i am doing and that's of any worth in my life just because i don't want to be tired the next day?

[–] lapommedeterre 3 points 11 months ago

Hopefully the one hour sleeper is empathizing, and just letting them know they understand as they only slept an hour but can't articulate it (to save energy).

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago
[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

It's a bad day if I get any less than 8.5.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Same, been a doosey.
