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
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”.
You drink coffee because you feel tired without it.
I drink coffee because I love the taste.
We are not the same.
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.
As someone with insomnia problems that have been reoccurring throughout my life, that was a terrifying read thank you.
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.
Ah yeah, the misery olimpics you can’t say shit because somehow their life is worse.
I just fucking hate sleeping. 😅
Is it more or less unhealthy when I lie about my lack of sleep to shut people up?
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.
Yeah I’m with you on this one. Getting enough sleep should be something we thrive for.
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).
woke
It’s a bad day if I get any less than 8.5.
Same, been a doosey.
