On the other hand there is significant improvement in many people with depression at night. In the morning however life looks dark again. Some argue that this is an indicator for a different subtype of depression.
- doubled112 2y agoI do get happier at night, but as far as I can tell, it is because I'm finally by myself to be left alone. When the sun rises, so do the number of requests.
- Schiendelman 2y agoAs a PM, I have a recommendation: 1) Take time away from devices and notifications. Potentially also turn your notifications off entirely and start checking only at scheduled times (or periods within your SLA if you're supporting people). 2) Try early mornings. I started getting up at 4:30, lifting, and meditating before ever looking at tech. In many cases I still look at my plan for the day before others work!
- doubled112 2y agoThanks. The notifications are off but the SLA is still “available immediately at all times”. What a clause in the contract! It isn’t as bad as it sounds since I have a ton of freedom as long as the work gets done, but it’s still written down. I tend to start about an hour before the rest of my team regardless. The wife and kids don't quit either. First words I hear are usually “can I have” or “we need to”. Waking up early they hear me and the problems simply begin earlier. They won’t be young forever.
- Schiendelman 2y agoAhh, having a family makes sense too. That sounds like a really important conversation to have though - making sure you and your wife each help each other have your own alone time.
