You know, like “always split on 18,” or “having kids is the most rewarding thing you can do in life.”

What’s that one bit of advice you got from a trusted friend that you know deep, deep down would just ruin your thing?

    I wake up to my alarm every morning, guess I must be insane.

    Edit: wake up every morning hoping to be rested. When I worked evenings and woke up midmorning I did feel rested, but the decent paying jobs around here are 8-5. People.keep telling me I will get used to it, but it has been a couple decades without success.

        I definitely do. This time I will be well rested.

        Maybe I should change something…

        No. This time will just be different.

            I have sleep apnea and a breathing machine, which helps, but doesn’t solve the issue that trying to adjust my sleep schedule to the normal 8-5 routine on a daily basis results in poor sleep outcomes for me.

            My problem is that falling asleep earlier results in poor sleep, if I can even fall asleep.

            Think of it as the reverse of someone who always rises early and can’t sleep in or gets terrible sleep when they stay up too late.

                The only solution is to get a job that isn’t 8-5, but finding one that pays the 8-5 rate is really difficult.

                Or society treating late risers the same as early risers instead of as second class citizens.
