Did any of you ladies start having trouble sleeping till late once you turned 25-26? I used to be able to sleep till 9 am easily right until last year and now suddenly my body is up at 6:30 am and I can’t fall asleep. I’m frustrated because I want to sleep atleast till 7:30am. But can’t fall asleep once I’m up. I’m also tired when I wake up so it’s not like I had enough sleep. I cannot live like this for the rest of my life. What is wrong with me? 😭😭 Any suggestions appreciated!

This has been happening to me for weeks now even though I've not changed anything, but I'm 33. I really needed the extra sleep this weekend, but my body/brain just wouldn't cooperate.

I’ve been waking up at 4 am for the past two weeks. I force myself to go back to sleep eventually but it’s definitely hard. not sure if it’s correlated to age, I’m 29. Maybe it’s just everything that’s going on is taking a toll on your body? stress does that

I’m 25 and I went from waking up at 7 am every day pre-pandemic to staying up late and waking up at 10 or 11. I’ve also always had a hard time with going back to sleep once I’m up. Maybe there’s some other factor? Do you have a pretty regular sleep routine?

Slightly unrelated but I got covid a while back, which made it difficult to sleep so I started taking 2.5 mg of melatonin every night. My doctor said it’s too little to have an actual effect but I’m pretty sure it makes me sleep in later and have deeper sleep throughout the night. Might be worth looking into!

24F, same issue. I got a sleep mask and it helped some. I throw it on when I wake up at 5/7 am and go back to sleep.

Blackout curtains.
Limit screen time before bed- read instead.
Go to bed earlier to get your desired # of hours.

Otherwise, embrace the mornings. I get up, exercise, get ready for the day and get a chunk of work done before my team is online.

Go to an acupuncturist and get yourself back in balance

Hello Guys,

I have 8 years of experience with more than 4 years in the current organization. Current package is 9.5 LPA. I have offers with Accenture (14L fixed and 4L variable) and CTS (15.5L fixed and 70k variable) both having more than 75% hike.
In my current organization, I see a scope for onsite assignment (not 100% confirmed though). I am confused of which one to choose - Wheather to stay back or switch to which company.

Any suggestion is appreciated. Thanks

Hi everyone, I am looking for advice on getting to the same company but in a different country. I had an internship at multinational FMCG company in purchasing in country 1 (5 ys ago).
