Adequate Sleep Is Necessary for Sanity and Success
- hughesjj 2y agoTotally agreed. The hardest part for me is usually the falling asleep part though....
- cassianoleal 2y agoThe hard part for me is finding a job that doesn’t require me to wake up before I’m done sleeping.
- lazyeye 2y agoYes unfortunately all the better-paid jobs start before I get up in the morning.
- garyfirestorm 2y agoReading a very boring yet interesting enough book has allowed me to fall asleep. It keeps your brain on the pages for long enough that the brain gets off of the hamster wheel.
- mjrpes 2y agoI'm doing much better on the falling asleep part and doing it early and consistently. But now have the challenge of being awake for 2 hours in the middle of the night and not getting a full 2nd cycle.
- darepublic 2y agoI remember one night tossing and turning unable to sleep. I was severely behind on project. I eventually said "f sleep" woke up and made quick working prototype. Various other emotional disturbance prevents regular sleep schedule
- gofreddygo 2y agoOTOH, I remember handful of nights severely stuck on something, fighting sleep at 2 am trying to fix something, eventually saying "f work" and going to sleep. Next morning, while in the shower, a possible solution had popped in my head out of thin air. By lunch I had solved it. I now try the "sleep over it" approach before losing sleep over it.
- physicles 2y agoThe trick is knowing which of these two solutions to apply at the time.
- rad_gruchalski 2y agoThe solution seems obvious. Tossing and turning in bed, get up. Eyelids on matches, get some sleep.
- ianburrell 2y agoIntermediate solution is to write down any ideas and then go back to sleep. That gets the ideas out of my head which for me is enough to calm down and go to sleep.
- marklubi 2y agoThat’s what I used to do when I had my first issues with insomnia. Would go several days without sleep, and it was productive but then I would crash hard. Sadly, it doesn’t work anymore. Still trying to find a solution. Days after days of no sleep is terrible
- MaxikCZ 2y agoMy acquaintance works 16-20 hours a day, every day. Is wildly successful and looks sane. n=1
- alt0_ 2y agoMaybe he's just one of those lucky people that only need 4-5 hours of sleep every night ¯ \ _ ( ツ ) _ / ¯
- dwags 2y agosounds terrible
- esel2k 2y agoMy boss is like this. Very unpredictable person and I don’t think it is healthy for anyone. Generally speaking I will know this is a massive red flag for future jobs.
- Apocryphon 2y agoAt what point does he enjoy success? Does he take vacations?
- MaxikCZ 2y agoHe enjoys success by literally enjoying it successeeding. He sees his projects pay out, and move on to next asap.
- dyauspitr 2y agoHow is that successful? Sounds like his days involve working like a dog.
- MaxikCZ 2y agoHe does work like a dog, but hes not even 18 yet and has already made more money than most people I know make in their lifetimes.

- bamboozled 2y agoIt’s a luxury for some
- snakeoil 2y agoSleep (quantity, quality), work on sth you like, work out, eat good food, and sharing and receiving love. It is not only about sleep but sleep indeed is fundamental.
- dyauspitr 2y agoWork on shit you like that pays you well. It’s this second part that’s the stumbling block for most of humanity.
