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

[-] scottyjoe9@sh.itjust.works 19 points 9 months ago

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".

[-] idunnololz@lemmy.world 19 points 9 months ago

You drink coffee because you feel tired without it.

I drink coffee because I love the taste.

We are not the same.

[-] Paradachshund@lemmy.today 14 points 9 months ago

I got 9 hours of sleep last night

This is the first time I've been awake in my entire life.

[-] SoleInvictus@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

I've never been awake, I'm reading this all by astrally projecting from my dreams. Nevermind how I'm writing anything.

[-] Speculater@lemmy.world 13 points 9 months ago

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.

[-] ultra@feddit.ro 4 points 9 months ago

Literally the capitalist mindset. Go to sleep late and wake up early, so you have more time to work ("grind" or "hustle"). Every day I hate capitalism more and more

[-] SomeSphinx@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

As someone with insomnia problems that have been reoccurring throughout my life, that was a terrifying read thank you.

[-] xpinchx@lemmy.world 10 points 9 months ago

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.

[-] RQG@lemmy.world 9 points 9 months ago

Is it more or less unhealthy when I lie about my lack of sleep to shut people up?

[-] Maestro@kbin.social 13 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

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.

[-] RQG@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

Yeah I'm with you on this one. Getting enough sleep should be something we thrive for.

[-] LucidNightmare@lemmy.world 8 points 9 months ago

I just fucking hate sleeping. 😅

[-] cryostars@lemmyf.uk 2 points 9 months ago
[-] LucidNightmare@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

I really, genuinely, hate sleeping. To me, it is such a waste of time that I could be learning something new or doing something productive!

[-] AnxiousOtter@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago

I hate sleeping because I know all that's waiting for me tomorrow is more work.

[-] LucidNightmare@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

and the existential crises!

[-] 768@sh.itjust.works 5 points 9 months ago

doing something productive

What do you produce?

[-] LucidNightmare@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

Nothing. I’m too busy sleeping.

[-] Saltblue@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago

Ah yeah, the misery olimpics you can't say shit because somehow their life is worse.

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 5 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

I get -1 hours of sleep a night. I'm awake and stealing your dreams.

[-] Agent641@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

OMG That was you that lurked my nightmares last night?!

You were a good kisser NGL

[-] duviobaz@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 9 months ago

What else am i supposed to do? Sleep and fail at literally everything i am doing and that's of any worth in my life just because i don't want to be tired the next day?

[-] lapommedeterre@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

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).

[-] Eww@sh.itjust.works 1 points 9 months ago

Same, been a doosey.
