    I’ll be a stickler, you need to make the same choice consistently over several nights. Just because it’s the weekend doesn’t mean you get to stay up late.

    Unless you like punishing yourself, then go right ahead.

      As someone with kids, my nights are sacred and I will gladly sacrifice my my health to maintain the small amount of personal time I get.

      Hate to say it, but when you get older it’s no longer that easy. Getting 9 hours of sleep every night for years at a time is not the same as getting 6 hours of GOOD sleep. In my case it turned out to be restless leg, I was sleeping straight through the night but apparently was tossing all night long and I never felt rested. This went on for nearly 10 years before my doc was able to find something that helped. Now I’m back to doing well with 7-8 hours a night… Would love to be able to do well with 6 hours again but I think those days are gone.

      I am on day 2 of my CPAP after a mild diagnosis 15 years ago. I tried CPAP then and it didn’t work. Over time it got worse and now it is severe.

      Now… now the machines and masks are better and…now it works for me!

      I’m just walking around experiencing life not tired, without a headache, and it is surreal. I’m scared it won’t last…

        Sorry for the late reply. Congrats on not being tired. I will look into that as well cause I feel it’s getting worse for me.

    Dude I’ve been reading a lot of your memes for weeks now and I’m pretty convinced that you have scurvy.

      I’m a completely different person before my first cup of coffee when beginning the day, and the contrast between me with and without caffeine keeps increasing.

      Won’t stop drinking coffee though. Depression already took most of the enjoyment I could have, I won’t sacrifice coffee.

      The coffee could just be another ‘symptom’ of something else. ADHD affects sleep and people with ADHD also tend to use coffee as, or to supplement, medication. Correlation does not imply causation.
