It frustrates me that people in this thread complain about time problems but won’t duscuss the obvious solution:
Tossing turds towards terrible time tyrants till they turn 9-to-5s to 10-to-4s
Upvote for alliteration.
I work 5 to 5 and still get my 8 every 24
Do you work from home and have someone else do your chores? Otherwise days on must be brutal— only 1 hour of free time a day I would guess.
My girl and I both do chores but I also run a small farm as a hobby lol. Its a 28 day rotational schedule so in the 28 I have 14 off, 7 of those 14 are in a row. Major things that need doing happen during my week off every month. My commute is 45 minutes, my days on are mostly just work, farm chores, house chores and sleep. The 5-5 also swaps between AM and PM throughout the 28. Shakes out to 168 hours a month. Getting 8 hours is about discipline more than anything. Thats also why I say/view it as 8 of every 24 not 8 a “night”. I will admit I am a fucking creature lmao.
8 sleep? Yes. But what about naps, snoozes, dozing off, lucid dreaming, daydreaming, just resting my eyes, sleepwalking, wake sleeping, meditative trances and altered consciousness?
This must be Pippin’s Lemmy account
No
For various unavoidable reasons, I’m on an average of 4 hours and I don’t like it, let alone take pride in it.
Take heart. I averaged about 4.5 hours a day for 3 years running on third shift. I’ve since changed back to first and have been at almost 7 for over a year. There’s a light at the end of the tunnel.

No matter how bad you have it, someone else has to tell you they have it worse.
Short term and long term are ill defined subjective entities, if my short term is long term enough I win.
Something I learned from cycling: When you put effort into using it, the morning is this mysterious beast of free time. We often get used to waking up, doing two-three things, and then it’s noon.
If you consciously sleep early, wake up early, and maybe plan to go somewhere as soon as you’re up, you can be back home planning to shower at your normal time, practically seeing your half asleep self doomscrolling in your bed from a prior day. You could even put a whole gaming session before your workday, if your job starts late enough.
Thank you for your wisdom monkey man
Do people actually flex how much of less sleep they got? I never met anyone who do this.
Absolutely
while it does make you seem like a badass, it really just means your performance is bad, ass.
I lowkey hate people like this . You can say “I’m so tired I did 15 hour shift today” and they’ll say “that’s nothing I did a 24 hour shift and still haven’t slept”. I didn’t ask???
I saw this last night, and only got 4. Damn your eyes, I have to work DX
