    Swap coffee and energy drinks. Energy drinks are def the most braindead of the bunch—I know, I used to buy them.

    Also where is the “100mg adderall” option?

      I get 8 hours of sleep almost every night. I can tell you I don’t feel well rested any day

          Consistency and quality of sleep are also important factors, but so is your diet and the times you eat.

          Feeling well rested after a night of sleep requires much more than “8 hours sleep”.

            I sometimes have the feeling that I’m only getting REM sleep.

            Of cause that can’t be true, but I don’t think it’s thaaaat far off.

          Depends, I have allergies and during peak allergy times for me I usually get very congested. So during the yes, I found something this season that help clear my sinuses really well and ended up getting some pretty good sleep. And then other factors of course, such as if I’ve drank or yadda yadda

    Can’t tell you the amount of times someone has acted astonished when I tell them I drink coffee because I genuinely like it—i just drink it in the morning because if I drank it later it’d keep me awake.

    A lot of people drink it purely to stay awake and I do not get that. Get some caffeine pills or something.

      I have a sleep tracker and it keeps saying, “girl, you’re the best at sleeping, getting the 8 hours, getting the REM, going to bed and waking up at consistent times, blood oxygen maybe a little lower than usual but if there was a sleep competition you’d easily be top 100!”

      But yet I still feel like death in the morning

    This is mostly accurate. (Except for the fact that coffee and energy drinks need to be switched.) I only need to drink coffee in the morning if I can’t sleep properly. On a regular day, I only drink some in the afternoon, and thats too only because I just like drinking coffee.

      Im that way. I had a worker say I was like a lion. I can be intense and active for quite a few hours but I can only keep it up so long and then I lose it and its all fatigue.

      Strictly speaking, it’s not just about the time but also about the quality of sleep, so gotta get that right, too

          It does exist, it’s just not the easiest thing to achieve, especially with what is expected of most people for work.

            It is also a constantly moving goalpost that our body never quite figures out. Some days 7 hours of sleep is fine, others you need 10, and your body is really bad at telling you which days need certain amounts of rest.

              In my experience, keeping a steady pattern both weekdays and weekends helps to that end. That’s easier said than done, though.

        i mean i doubt it since my diet is very varied and contains a lot of both meat and veggies, but i guess i might as well try it.

          Maybe schedule an annual checkup and have them do some bloodwork. You never know but it helps to catch things sooner

        And it is our own fault because of unprotected sex with the aim of reproduction. Nonetheless.

          Bro, there was so much unprotected sex with the aim of reproduction that I became physically and sexually burnt out by the time we achieved it. My wife and I didn’t have sex again until my daughter was like 10 months old, and it the frequency only began to normalize over the course of another year or so - maybe longer. I remember we were worried for a bit that it was a bad sign for our marriage or something, especially since it was primarily me who was struggling to even want to, but then suddenly my daughter started sleeping through the night and my wife and I started banging again. Completely restored my sex drive. I’m certainly not fucking like I’m in my twenties anymore, but I’m relieved that unprotected sex with the aim of reproduction didn’t permanently kill my boner. Unprotected sex with the aim of reproduction is a blessing at first, but be wary, travelers…

    I see teenagers drinking energy drinks and I’m always thinking marketing really works on teenagers. Because those are the only people drinking that shit and they are also trying to appear “cool”. So easy targets for marketing.

      I prefer a sugar free red bull to wake up first thing in the morning instead of coffee and I haven’t been a teenager for over a decade. It works better for me and tastes better. Its all just preference.
