Turn 50.
Well done for making it to 10 😉
Only occasionally :)
😆 💤
I’m reading this at 11pm so don’t ask me
3:30 am here
You need go to bed at 8 PM and get up at 5 AM though
Have kids
Wait until the next level though, where your bedtime is as soon as you fucking can and you wake up multiple times during the night to pee or just because.
Exercise is key
I go to bed at 10, get up at 2, watch TV for an hour, go back to bed and get up at 8-830
Honestly, they day just knocks it out of me. I’m literally in bed by 9:10ish and don’t really fall asleep until sometimes around 10. Commuting an hour each way just really sucks any life out of me.
Don’t become a morning person.
Their time will come.
I wish I could bottle or teach my ability to fall asleep quickly and completely. I’d be filthy rich. Sorry, everyone. I am the odd one out.
The funny thing is that if everything is going okayish in your life, you can become one of these people by going to bed at 10 and waking up at 6. I’m willing to bet your life is not going okayish, though
Have a child and work in a factory. That did it for me. I used to be a 2pm to 4am kinda person.
Work in a manual labor job so you’re tired enough that you actually WANT to go to bed at 10
I wish I got to wake up at 6 when I worked a manual labor job. It was more like 4:45
Yeah manual labour jobs start earlier then getting up at 6 allows.
I’m always blown away by TV shows where everyone wakes up, has a shower sits down makes breakfast and leave for work at like 9
That sounds like my morning when I still had to go to the office… But then that wasn’t manual labor.
I usually started my days at 10 and had a non-existing commute
What time would you finish?
18 usually. We had an hour long paid lunch as part of the 8 hour day, but after a while I would start doing a 10 minute lunch and being out before 17. Software Engineering job with great line managers, so the CEO never found out as he was never around anyway, he was in Dubai for fraud and tax avoidance reasons. We were expected to log 28 hours a week onto tasks and if you missed the target 3 or 4 weeks, you had to bring a pizza for your team. Reasoning was, there’s no point in micromanaging every minute of an employee’s day because a happy employee is a more productive employee.
Left to work at a company that offered me more variety in tech stacks and even more lax rules about hours, working location and everything, with a better salary (honestly a LOT of money to me at the time)… Got shitcanned in my probationary period because I got together with a girl who essentially didn’t let me work at all and ruined my entire life. She got pregnant real quick and after that everything I did was an issue, including working during the daytime when she wanted to nap but her child needed attention. Or in the evening when SHE wanted attention. I was allowed to work starting 2 AM essentially. It was so visible externally how she was destroying me, the CEO literally said if I ever drop the bitch and get my shit back together, I should give him a call to try again. I have not yet, but now I’m considering it, just need to go to court with my ex first, so I know exactly what our custody agreement will be. Right now, she’s breaking our existing agreement that was agreed upon by ourselves, not assigned by the court.
Damn that took a turn, sorry for what’s happened mate.
The best thing that happened to me was the ability to manage myself too.
As long as all the customers are happy and everything is working there was no push back from my boss.
What it showed me was if I can do it for someone else, I could do it on my own. So now I have. Run my own company been in business 1 year tomorrow with never not making money while paying myself a reasonable wage every week.
You should call that ceo though, sooner then later. Might not have room for you today but it shows interest and in 6 months they might be looking.
Get a cat, play with the cat or give it a treat at 9 pm. The cat will enforce bedtime
For those actually wanting to do it: you start with the morning, not with the bed time. Regardless of when you go to sleep, gotta force yourself up a the time you want to wake. By the time 10p rolls around, now you’re ready for sleep. But you’re gonna start off with a very sleepy day.
Exaxtly. I similarly feel that keeping a regular wakeup time is more effective than going to bed at a regular time.
Wake up on time no matter what, no naps, and follow good bed time hygiene (caffeine, screens, temperature, etc). It will take some time but your body will adjust.
Plus it helps to meditate before sleeping as it’ll increase the sleepiness before hitting the bed
