the wish is unfulfilled only if you cannot go to sleep
Truest meme I’ve seen in a while.
That being said, I once went to the doctor because I was feeling ridiculously fatigued and they revealed I had critically low vitamin d and slightly low iron (i had recently donated blood tbf).
After taking some vitamin d I got better, had a lot more energy.
So maybe more of us have this than we think.
I too have been getting too less sunlight exposure and too much cigarette smoke exposure whenever I get out.
Perhaps I should check if a relevant blood test is available here.
I go to sleep because that’s the only place I can actually be what I want and have what I want but then I keep waking up.
Unless you have kids… Don’t have kids…
That’s why I recommend becoming an an aunt or uncle; you have kids but on a schedule and when they start to get irritating you can go back to being childless.
My nephews are so annoying that I would rather take my kid + the sleep deprivation over spending a single day with them…
I wish I could do whatever I want as an adult.
Sleep is my favorite affordable thing to eat.
When you have nothing to look forward to and uncounciousness is an escape.
Oh really? Start camping in a forest for more than 3 days, see what happens.
In general, people don’t tend to give themselves actual down time anymore (not looking at a screen. taking a walk, reading a book, or sitting around type shit) so when we have that level of relaxation all the built up anxiety and exhaustion comes crashing down all at once. So sleep.
Jeez, I feel that. I just started a new job with the hours of 4:00 AM to 12:30 and I have to take a nap every day when I get home.
My doctor once asked if I had any hobbies. I told him the only thing I want to do with my free time is to sleep.
So anyway, I was diagnosed with major depression.
Honestly I’m not even depressed but I just in general am a pretty lazy and easily tired person lol. I remember when I got my first full time job in my early 20s. Was my first time working 40 hours a week and I was like holy shit is every adult just tired all the time from this???
Yeah, I work a lot some days. I’m an independent contractor so it’s my work, and it ebbs and flows. Some days I work from 730-9, 10-2, then 5-11. On those days, I choose to nap from 2-3pm or so. I could do other stuff, but nothing trumps a nap.
So jealous! I only got disthymia. My doctor won’t even get me on meds.
Just kidding, not jealous. Depression sucks. They all suck.

It can also be a major anxiety disorder too!
Thank god treatments like Ketamine are becoming available.
That works for anxiety too?
Hell yeah
Good times
Anyone else feels like we’re supposed to sleep more often than is recommended?
I’ve been of the (deeply unscientific) opinion that 8 hours of sleep a day is some shit that only works out if you work humane hours. As in, significantly less than 40 a week; ~30, maybe.
I’m in my 20s and when I sleep in the middle of the day, I get tired so much, it feels like someone sucked out all the energy from my body. Thats why I always sleep at 10 and make sure I get atleast 7 hours of sleep.
As an adult, I literally can’t do whatever I want, that’s why I always want to go back to sleep.
Reality sucks in large doses, I prefer to microdose consciousness as much as I can and spend the rest of my time not here
