Cheer up sleepy dreams

By dead - 31/03/2021 23:00

Today, it’s been 6 months at my job and I still can’t get used to the morning shift. Even with a changed diet, exercise, meditation, and no caffeine after noon, I'm averaging about 2 hours of sleep a night. My body will always choose sleep deprivation over falling asleep at a reasonable time. FML

Today, I had drunk sex with a girl that I barely know. I didn't have a condom and was nervous about getting her pregnant, but she assured me that I could pull out. Right when I was about to pull out, she wrapped her legs around me and yelled, "BE MY BABY'S DADDY!" I couldn't get out in time. FML

Today, at a concert, my friend grew tired of holding her bag. She asked a man to hold it, saying that he wouldn't steal it "since it was hers". I quietly told her she was too naïve and irresponsible. After the concert, I got home and noticed my wallet was stolen instead, right out of my pocket. FML

Interesting fact it has been scientifically proven that some peoples bodies are hard wired to be up at night not during the day. This is left over from the cave man time when people would take different shifts to stay up and watch everyone. Its something beyond your control :)

Same. I teach high school, so I have to be up at an ungodly hour. I struggle to sleep during the week to the point of having migraines. As soon as Friday hits, I’m back to my natural schedule of a 3am bedtime and a 1pm wake time. I don’t have migraines on the weekends.

It may not help much, but in case you spend a lot of time in front of a screen before bedtime (phone, TV, computer), you should probably try to turn off all your screens a couple of hours prior to your bedtime and read a book or some such instead.

Here's an option. GO TO A SLEEP CLINIC. There is (hopefully) a medical sleep clinic in your area that can help find a way for you to get more sleep, OP. If you can't figure something out, call an EXPERT. The people that think they can handle everything themselves are deluded.
