I sleep to much . (hexbear.net)
submitted 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week 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.

You've probably got depression. I'm gonna give you a prescription for joining up with a group of revolutionaries and overthrowing your oppressors. Obviously, your body isn't going to be able to handle such a high dose just yet, but we'll increase your tolerance by first baby stepping you into some mutual aid and then some light arson. Basically just follow the directions on the package until you're standing on the neck of a billionaire. And whatever you do, don't stop taking that shit halfway through! We've got a real problem with revolutionary resistant billionaires because people keep getting released valve and assuming they're cured. You gotta complete the full course!

Not bad advice. early morning meetings, actions, pickets and other plans will test your body's resolve to stay sleeping.

But--- running on adrenaline to counteract depression might work for some, not all. It might shake up the internal as well as external status quo. Eventually, there is adjustment and back to homeostasis.

It's not about chasing adrenaline, it's about actively participating in their own liberation. Building a world they want to spend time in.
