My manager a top consulting firm just said to me: If I sleep too much (meaning over 4h per night) I get a headache so better to not sleep too much

Watching his 3rd Redbull, second Coca Cola and ATLEAST sixth cup of coffee today being devoured simultaneously, I'm 100% certain that the reason he's getting headaches is not getting caffeine for 4h - not the "too much sleep" XD

Don’t ever let anyone shame you for getting sleep. American corporate culture has reprogrammed us into thinking you don’t need it, any less than 7-8 hours a night really impacts your creativity and productivity. Leaders who lack sleep aren’t taking care of themselves. People wouldn’t skip meals day after day, it’s the same / worse

Agreed, just saying it wouldn’t be socially acceptable to skip meals consistently.

I had a manager like that who always wanted our team to get cheap fast food or sandwiches even though we were expensing against an enormous client with a huge budget. Guy would have us work past midnight and never wanted to get healthy food lol. Absolutely the worst

There's a fascinating book by Matthew Walker titled Why we Sleep. It was a revelation to read it because I was amongst those who took genuine pride in going to sleep at 12 am and waking up promptly by 4 or 5 am. Only later I realized the baseline resetting our CNS does so that this dangerous sleep cycle of 3-4hrs gets normalized and we almost trick ourselves into believing that our body needs only this much (some indeed are genetic outliers who truly cannot sleep at night but that's <1%)

Hi there. I previously had a beautiful baby girl through IVF and emergency c-section. Now I'm in the process of completing my pre-requisites before another FET. I had my hydrosonogram, trial embryo transfer, and an overall check of my uterus. Due to my muscle thickness, they're recommending with my next pregnancy to have another c-section. I tried Googling but can't find any info. Anyone been through this before and know what they're referring to? I just like to be as informed as I can.

Not the results I was hoping for this morning. Went for my first appointment before starting injections this evening. Only 9 follicles. Was told birth control can suppress some so they may just not be visible yet but feeling very panicked now despite the doctor saying it was ok for my age.

This journey is taxing.

I feel like I’ve been neglecting this bowl. 😔 I’ve been doing keto with 16/8 intermittent fasting for the past month.

Hi, fishes.
A quick query here.

I'm going to move from non IT profile to IT profile. Basically I'll be applying as front end engineer in new company. Previously I was working in a BPO profile.
Just wanted to ask if I'll be provided training in my initial months as a front end engineer or am I expected to work from the very first day.
Your comments will be really helpful.
