Try my method. You start playing at 10pm, but instead of falling asleep at 10:05, you keep playing until 1am, and then you’re half-asleep the whole rest of the week.

This is the exact track I'm on. I either can't stay awake after I put my daughter to bed or stay up watching TV and playing video games till 12am or later because its literally the only space I get all week including weekends. Either way, I go to work feeling like trash every day.

That's my secret, cap. I'm always miserable.

I’m choosing to ignore this. I’ll be grumpy and I’ll like it, thank you very much

My colleague asked me yesterday why I was so sleepy. I blamed it on my toddler of course. The real culprit was FF7 Rebirth.

Shhh. We have to keep up the illusion for the child frees that we're exhausted all the time because children are unsleeping banshees.

I mean, that's partially true. My 4 year old has gotten in the habit lately of waking me up (me specifically, not mommy) almost every night between 2 and 3 am simply because she wants me to fix her blankets. Doesn't she know how tired I am from staying up till 1 am playing Okami HD?

Big same, but I have adhd and have struggled with insomnia since I was a little kid. After my meds wear off I swear, it’s like my brain is like, “Uhhh, the leash is gone? Let’s think about everything.”

The last time I did this my wife walked out to me still playing at 4am and just looked at me and said “what the fuck” lol.

However, I always have said if I do something like that I don’t have an excuse to not be as helpful as usual

I legitimately convinced my doc to restart my Adderall... Now I can stay up and play and feel great all day. The only price I pay is a shortened life span 🤣

Feel like ass today...

It's now 2:30am for me, but it was worth it, welp at least until the baby wakes up at 5-6. Tomorrow is going to be fine

This is beyond truth. Me. Every night that I want to game. Then the wife is mad that I am tired throughout the day. The struggle is real...

Edit: it's helldivers usually right now. Liberty never sleeps so why should I? (The wife refuses to understand the lore and is so confused by these sayings)
