internal conflict:

"i need to buy a gun in case shit hits the fan in november"

"it won't make any difference, gun or not. buy beer instead"

[–] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months ago

At least with beer, it will hurt a little less if you drink enough

It's a cycle. Eventually you figure out it's beneficial to have a consistent sleep schedule and eat healthier. I still stay up late sometimes and eat poorly too often, but less than I used to. The posted text is a better description of young adults.

Going to bed early doesn't help if you wake up too early. (Without setting an alarm)

Completelly stop drinking coffee.

Endure about a week of cold turkey.

Start naturally just going to sleep earlier and naturally waking up earlier.

Whilst it's not a 100% fullproof thing, it tends to help a lot because one just gets sleepy early and feels like going to sleep rather than trying to force it (which, IMHO, doesn't really work) in order to try to sleep enough hours given the time of the day one must wake up at in order to work.

I do this once in a while and just try to keep it going, though eventually some longer period of heavy stress gets me back to 3 cups of expresso a day and not sleeping enough hours to wake up rested most nights :/

I don't even drink coffee (just tea but I suppose I could have decaf in the morning too).

I'm constantly sleepy but that doesn't mean I can actually fall asleep. At least I have a vacation coming up :/

I feel like I'd have to wear a button warning coworkers.

In my experience it's mostly feeling very tired and having headaches, rather than becoming snappy.

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 months ago

That is also not appealing when at work.

Yawning in solidarity.. I've already been up for an hour

Are you guys sad and tired all the time? Damn

[–] Chefdano3@lemm.ee 18 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

I used to be tired and sad all the time as an adult. Then I had twin girls.

Now I'm too tired and too exhausted to be sad all the time.

If you only eat fast food, stuff your face on snacks everyday, never have meaningful social interactions outside the internet, sleep very little, don't exercise and only work all day without a hobby or engaging entertainment. Yes, you'll eventually become sad and tired all the time.

[–] BossDj@lemm.ee 8 points 10 months ago

I'm salaried, so yeah.

Only when I eat chips all day and go to bed way too late

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago

I don't even know anymore.

[–] moistclump@lemmy.world 15 points 10 months ago (1 children)

If you’re a female born after 1993 you specifically get to eat hot chip, and lie.

That's where substance abuse comes in. Dumb kids can't even do drugs! Suckers

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

When you're a kid and you wanna go "weeee"

But you ain't got drugs yet

[–] coffeejoe@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 10 months ago

Don’t worry. It will get better they say. Waiting…💀

[–] Sorgan71@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

thats why east asian schooling is better. when you go into the workforce you go from 12 hrs a day for school to 8 hrs a day for work. Life gets easier.

[–] synapse1278@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

That's not being adult, that's having depression. People, go talk to a specialist, you can get better :)

[–] cryptix@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 10 months ago

Don't give me such kind of powers.......

[–] Aceticon@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Worse, even the "eat chips whenever you want" part won't last long because if you indulge you'll eventually get diabetes.

[–] laserm@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Jokes on you, I'm 17 and I have all of those except the chips.

[–] Ziglin@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Teens are the same except the no bedtime and chips whenever are determined by the parents/guardians.
