“Brain Rules” by John Medina is an interesting book that lays out the effects of detrimental behaviors, such as lack of sleep, in your brain. All info is based on studies published in peer reviewed journals too. Definitely an eye opener and a good kick in the butt for me to move towards a healthier lifestyle including the 7 to 8 hours of sleep I need.

Life is too short and not worth the constant stress. It is obvious that I can’t always follow my own rules but try to do so and only let myself slip 1 or 2 every 3 weeks or so.

Hope you enjoy it. It is a great read!

Is it bad if I regularly get 5-6 hours of sleep a night?

Yeah it’s not good, even if you’re running on fumes it’s not good

Consistently not sleeping enough is pretty much the worst thing you can do to your body; it's a deficit you can't get rid off long-term.

Yes, all the time. But what job isn’t stressful? As long as you find fulfillment that’s all that matters

I’m glad to hear you are learning a lot from your team. I mean that’s what it’s all about. I say take a boring job later. 20s-40s is the time to kill it

Well I’m living proof: I’m at high-risk for a stroke and I’m only in my late 20s.

I’m having a really hard time with my changing body. 13 weeks, I don’t have too many bad side effects of pregnancy or anything so I consider myself lucky (no nausea ever etc) but I’m depressed at work, my skin is completely broken out and showing new broken face capillaries, and I’m not showing a bump yet so I just feel fat and big. I don’t know where this “glow” is but I look in the mirror and literally am grappling with not recognizing myself :( it’s been impossible to find any clothes too.

I was diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 12. My family did not opt to put me on medication. I illegally discovered Adderall in college. Worked incredible. Got diagnosed after college & after having been fired from my first job. Passed the CPA exams on Adderall. Went off of it again. I do everything well at my job except for attention to detail within my excel files & emails. Will taking ADHD medication really fix this? Does anyone else have this issue and was it resolved by taking medication?

For reference, all associates are around the firms minimum requirement, it’s just that a few of us are 30+% over and it is leading to burnout.
