I sleep to much . (hexbear.net)
submitted 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) by 9to5@hexbear.net to c/askchapo@hexbear.net
 

Yes im aware some folks would consider that a first world problem but it kills all of my sparetime. Like I just spent over 19h in bed yesterday. It completely fucks up my sleep rythm as you can imagine. I just enjoy dreaming to much and the peaceful oblivion that sleep brings.

How do I sleep less ? I had a sleep rythm before that wasnt optimal but I could work with it. If I set an alarm I usually get up before it rings and turn it of. I already set 2 alarms.

If you wonder how that works with work- I basically do freelance work and as long as I finish my work within the deadlines all is good. So I dont have set work times like a normal human bean... Which doesnt help. The last couple of years I have been basically a nocturnal creature.

I have like 0 willpower when it comes to sleep

Sorry for being a girlfailure doggirl-tears

I guess my sleep problems are the imho most embarassing thing about me. So now I have shared my very soul essence with Hexbear.

But in all honesty, looking at the world around us, I can also fully understand wanting to dream and sleep more. Dreams are a really nice getaway that doesn't cost money, so I can relate.

Absolute truth absolute-cinema

I've also struggled with sleep issues in the opposite direction; usually waking up in the middle of the night and unable to go back to sleep. I want more consistency but sleep is frustratingly uncontrollable. Further defending @9to5@hexbear.net's sleep, you are getting your work done on your own schedule that satisfies your clients, so society and the Superego have no business judging you for what you enjoy. Hustle Culture can get fucked.
