Fucking up my sleep schedule.

Also kinda abusing sleep medication when I get really depressed, I just take a bunch of sleeping pills so I can essentially skip time. Like a free trial of death.

This minus the pills. I have a smart watch that clearly shows that I don’t recover well if I go to bed late, but I always go to bed an hour later than I should ideally go, and always end up sleep deprived. I desperately need to cut this shit out.

Love the death analogy. Don’t we all have periods of just wanting to sleep to escape reality, but we fear non existence through death

I don’t fear non-existing. I fear the process of dying and the unknown that follows.

Depending on how you die the process can be horrible. I guess dying instantly from some kind of trauma is the easiest way to go. I have to believe the “unknown” is irrelevant because our consciousness no longer exists. Whatever atoms made us a human are simply reabsorbed into the universe. Neil deGrasse Tyson the astrophysicist has some great insights into this. If you check him out on youtube you find his speculation about god and human death

Comfort Eating.

I don’t drink. I don’t smoke. I tried weed and found it uninteresting and never did anything harder. I exercise regularly.

But I’ll still never be the platonic ideal of a “healthy person”, because whenever I’m sad, I need processed sugar to feel like a person again. And brother, does life give me reasons to be sad.

For me it’s impulse eating. I badly need impulse control in many areas of my life.

Samesies. I remember back in college powering through a writing assignment with a 2L bottle of Coke and a 1lb. bag of M&Ms. Totally not healthy, but I learned later that it has to do with the relationship between insulin and neurotransmitters, like dopamine.

I think I need to read up on that link more.

Lots of sitting. Both on my job and in my free time.

Life is sitting. Sit up in bed, sit in car, sit in office, repeat until bedtime. And if you think about it - laying down is really just the advanced/ultimate form of sitting.

Yea, I was pretty bad at that. Like I think it was almost 9 months between changes and I was living in Australia

Same, but my company required an international flight so she didn’t get to visit that often.

do they really need changing that often though

i don’t go to bed covered in mud so all my sheets get is a bit of occasional sweat at night, i don’t get why we should change them so often. they don’t even smell!
