Historically? Not great. I often lose sleep because of my job as well. I assumed it comes with being an HR professional.
I am glad (well not really) that I am not the only one who ends up awake at 2am with work on my mind. It does feel like part of the HR package sometimes, but I wish it didn’t steal so much rest from us
I always just remind myself that they don't pay me to stress about work when I'm not there. It really is a good reminder that we are people first and employees second. Another thing I remind myself is this: will this matter in five years? Will I still care about the same problem in three years? Usually the answer is no.
That’s such a good perspective. I need to remind myself that problems won’t feel this big in five years, maybe not even five days.
Oh bless you. That's an awful situation to get into. I used to have a bit of Sunday night anxiouty when I was learning yo pay wages. It gets done on a Monday morning and was always so stressful. I'd dread it.
Yes, that Sunday night dread is exactly how it feels. It’s reassuring to hear others have been through the same with tasks they find stressful. Sometimes just knowing it will pass once you’re in it makes it a little easier
