I’m currently not working, not even job searching, just… taking December off it all. So naturally I’m allowing myself to sleep in as much as I want. I’m finding myself falling asleep around 1:30am and sleeping through to 11am, only waking due to the crushing guilt of ‘wasting the day’. I could probably go for another 2 hours or more. It’s all making me realize that humanity is doing the human condition dirty - we should sleep as much as we need to sleep, not be forced to grind at some mediocre task for 8 hours after under-sleeping.

Sitting on the toilet at 03:39 reading this. So true.

when it’s time to wake up I’m usually in a stupidly deep sleep basically in dream land and not wanting to leave kinda deep sleep.

I miss feeling like this so much! for years I have back pain everytime i lay down and as time passes it gets worst so I’m never confortable in the mornings. My body is so crazy that I can do anything without pain, even exercise, I have no pain at all…except if I lay down and relax. Fuck my body

If you’ve not got one, I would highly recommend getting an air quality meter.

I had this issue last night, awake randomly at 2-3am. When I checked, the air quality was terrible. (It’s bespoke scale put it at 10 out of 100) after opening a window and letting it improve, I happily drifted back off.

It turned out I didn’t wake up randomly, I was dragged awake from a light sleep due to the air quality plummeting. It won’t apply to everyone, but it’s worth checking if it’s a common problem.

(For reference, 10% air was CO2 of 2360ppm, and VOCs at 5000ppm with 80% humidity. Fresh air is CO2<500, VOCs<100)

I’m running on a single hour of sleep. Thank God I am working from home today because I’m SUFFERING. and of course a day that’s supposed to be slow is the day we get absolutely slammed with stuff. I can’t handle this. Might cry on my lunch tbh

This time of year it might be random bouts of 3AM fireworks.
