This is why I'm sleep deprived
39You dont go to sleep so tomorrow doesnt begin. I go to sleep so today ends, we are not the same
32I'm a late 30s IT worker and this is deep.
11You guys are getting sleep?

Fr, this hits deep when you have kids.
21Exactly what I was thinking when I entered the comments lol proud member of the Midnight Gamers Club
14The Steam Deck has revolutionized this for me. I was always too tired to sit upright at my desktop and game after we got the kiddo to bed. Now I can lay in bed and play my PC games. I’m finally working through games I never thought I would get to.

If I go to sleep now I'm going to wake up to a toy being shoved in my face and "play with me mummy" or a screaming kid from a nightmare. If I stay up an extra hour I get to be by myself for an extra hour.
Either way I'll be tired.
Not much choice there, I'll stay up and be more sleep deprived.

Worse, if you try to minimize sleep to maximize your day then your body and mind suffer.
Though there are some natural "short sleepers" that can get a full night in 5 hours. That's definitely not me!
14then your body and mind suffer
That's what all the weed and caffeine is for.
9Hear hear!

Do you happen to know if there's a category of sleepers who go a month or so only needing 5 or 6 hours then a month or so needing 9 or 10 hours? Because I feel like I fit into this odd category.

Hits too much in the feels, man.
11Yeah, but you'll wake up later and possibly more tired. And if you stay longer, you'll get tired pretty fast and will not be as productive.
No winning this.
11A few times after sleeping well, I can actually wake up in the morning and get significant things done involving an outing for breakfast, and feel like I’m midway through my day at a time I’d usually be waking up. It’s hard to build up to that point though.
10Naps or divide your sleep. It is a great feeling taking a hour nap and waking up not going to work
7I lived like this most my life, but with kids this breaks down completely. The only time noone is bothering you - kids or coworkers - is at night.

if i go to sleep homework time will end
5What, are you my 7 year old?
5Imagine a world where everyone goes to sleep as soon as they are done with work, and saves their groggy end-of-day hours for work. Unfortunately, society has chosen the opposite.

1Me who just wants to sleep(9h of clubbing and only 4h of sleep is brutal).
1The only way I ever managed 9hrs of clubbing is pills or powders! So which is it? :p
