    Those feels. I hate all the time I “waste” due to indecision or distractions, but I still have to feel like I had free time or I will be depressed. It is even worse when things like work or other external factors that I did NOT plan for get in the way. Dopamine…where art thou?

    This is why I get frustrated if I have to work late. I still need 4 hours or so of downtime, which means that if I am up until 1-2am and can’t wake up in time for the stupid morning standup, too damn bad. I am privileged that I can do that sometimes, but I have also worked 12-14 hour days for weeks on end at other jobs and even eating seemed like a waste of time.

    PS: I do know that you have hunger issues Stamets. If you were in my area, I would feed the hell out of you.

      I love this idea…but for some reason even if I get the right amount of sleep, if I wake up early I always feel like microwaved roadkill. :(

      The feeling rushed and forced in the morning thing really hits though. That probably lead to me being chronically late. (By literally 1 minute. As in 60 seconds…but apparently that was enough for them to “talk to” me about it. Ugh.)

      It’s a lot more common in people with ADHD. ADHD people have a much higher chance to have sleep disorders than typical people.

        As a guy without ADHD this has always amplified my drinking. I can get to sleep while trashed. Turns off the mind. In my 50s I’ve tried to sub geeky audiobooks like the Aeneid or true crime…not always effective.Sometimes the book will end leaving me in silence and if I wake in silence I might as well be up. It’s a shitty thing to go through. Especially your entire life.
