I will get 7-8 hours of sleep every night that I can this year. By any means necessary. Older you get, the more you realize how important sleep is to health, appearance, happiness, performance, etc.

Almost 34 and I learned this 2 years ago when I started getting heavily into fitness. Sleep is when body repairs itself from all the stresses and strains of life. I fricken LOVE sleep.

Used to be able to function on like, 3-4 hours sleep and a hangover once or twice a week. Now I'm in my 30s and not only is that impossible, it's so not cute. Glad I learned my lesson young or I'd be looking like Kelly Ann Conway right about now (😱)

Absolutely. I'll sleep for 5 hours, wake up fine, but when it's time for a run I just can't.

Truth. I'm on my A-game when I get a solid 7-8 hours of sleep. Fitness and adhering to a nighttime routine helps make it happen. I can definitely see and feel the difference if I try to function on 6ish or less. Plus coffee, obviously. 😴+☕️=💫

*NO blue light (ugh)

One *hour before - man, I need to go to bed ASAP!:)

I'm in my 50s, and though it was difficult when my kids were babies, apart from that I have always gotten 7 to 8 hours a night. I simply cannot function creatively without it.

OP definitely doesn't have kids

Is anyone on a low dose of Adderall or a similar stimulant, and do you find it helpful/effective?

When I was diagnosed (at 20 yo) I started on Adderall XR and my psychiatrist essentially took a “keep upping the dose until you feel side effects” approach, even though I still saw some benefits at a lower dose. I’m currently unmedicated and am somewhat hesitant to restart, but feel I could see some benefit and better stability with the help of medication.

Serious question - is there a reverse FIRE strategy? I like the idea of saving and retiring early, but the one hiccup I see (and sorry if this is grim) is if you die earlier than expected. I’d be worried that I would minimize lifestyle and fun for retirement at 50 but I’d die at 49. How about a way to work 9 months out of the year and retire/travel/relax for 3 months? This way you guaranteed your dreams/etc. are fulfilled

Hey! I’m new here and would like some input. I’ve been working in a new position for almost 5 months. In that time I’ve witnessed some unethical and lots of unprofessional behavior. I’ve been yelled at and berated by my coworker 3 separate times because of minor errors. I’m ready to quit. There are so many major issues in this company that I don’t know if I want to subject my mental health to this degree of toxicity. I just don’t know how to move forward from here.
