I have COVID for the first time rn, but I'm currently in MBB case interview preparation mode, so I want to give my body time to sleep, rest, and do well, but even with sleep aids, my mind is wide awake and wants to convert random improper fractions to decimals in my head, do case problems, and more 🤕

How would you suggest shutting down when your mind is overstimulated and you're trying to sleep? Melatonin isn't doing it - nor is NyQuil. I'm cutting back on D3 to see if that improves my sleep.

JPMorgan Chase recently introduced a policy change to increase the notice period to 60 days. I'm a 602 and resigned recently and yet my LWD is showing up as 30 days from now. Anyone recently resigned can confirm if they are facing the same or new policy is in effect. This is causing confusion with the next companies I'm interviewing with.

Apathy isn't the right word but I just kind of feel numb about everything and I think being sober would maybe help.

Friends, need some feedback on an idea:

I’m thinking of starting a podcast interviewing leaders at startups about their experience with specific challenges - I know, cliche, get a more original hobby, etc.

Not looking for the narrative arc of How I Built This or Masters of Scale. Instead, looking to uncover specific problems faced by companies that tried something new for the first time. What did they not see coming, how did they adapt and measure, etc.

What are your thoughts on this format?

Solid tips or strategies on cutting back on alcohol? My bf & I were moderate drinkers before the pandemic, but over the year I’m fairly confident we’ve become heavy drinkers (6-7days/wk). I’m stressed about it and have mentioned cutting back for a while, but he insists we’re fine. I find it rly difficult to go cold turkey or cut by myself when he’s still drinking as “normal” and we share our living space. We’re aware of all the health risks, but that alone hasn’t changed us. All advice welcome!
