Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.


RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

I’ve actually found that limiting bad food and sometimes having no or limited caffeine makes me feel more awake. But I also have this problem

And drinking plenty of water ! Hydrate !

You should probably work somewhere else if your job doesn't allow you to get your eight hours of sleep. Minimum wage without minimum sleep is akin to cheating.

It's almost hilarious what you suggest.

Well it's true. Both Chernobyl and the Exxon oil spill can be in part traced back to this issue.

The hilarious part is that you think I have a choice.

If you didn't, it would be considered slavery, would it not?

Not literally but the alternative is not working. That's not an option.

Believe it or not, job counselling and therapy are widely available and can help you find an alternative. They are at least worth trying and I am happy to help find resources in your region!

If you don't try ton make a change, you can't really complain.

If you can, try to get to bed an hour earlier tonight. I do that when I lose track of my sleep schedule.
