What is your sleeping pattern like? And I would recommend treating everyday as a work day to get back on schedule.

I think acn1 is right on the money... yes I'm sleeping a little longer but it's because I stay up so late. Are sleep meds habit forming though?

I'm on classpass so there's a monetary penalty if I don't go

Holiday season D2, pipeline is a little... slow

I do Tylenol pm every so often - after a rough night or when I'm hyped up about something. Doctor is fine with it. I take at dinner so that I fall asleep really early. Let's me pop up for a run in the a.m. And I end up feeling awesome. Wasn't addictive. P.s. I always take when traveling internationally. Gets me to new sleep cycle in one day.

Set up and alarm to wake up early, don't snooze, wake up you will feel tired and sleep earlier

Get up and go to the gym daily. It will keep you in a routine

Anyone have three kids and working in big law? I just found out I’m pregnant with no. 3 and it’s been a lot trying to juggle morning sickness, but based on my experience, I know this is only the tip of the iceberg of what’s to come. My husband and I are elated, but the anxiety of being a mom of 3 kids and working in big law is preventing me from truly enjoying this news. It would be good to know what it’s really like having 3 kids so that I can evaluate how long I really have left in big law.

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.

(3) Any idea till when WFH will last? Thanks 🙏
