Life Sleep affecting work?

Pushead2 · 01-09-2019, 03:08 AM

I'm sure I'm not the only "night owl" on this board, but has anyone reached the point of where being a "night owl" / staying up late has affected their work life?

Perhaps calling out, missing your alarm clock, arriving to work late, falling asleep on the job, etc?

It's been happening far too often for me. Luckily, I have a bunch of time off saved that I can use, so I just bang out, but overall it's just a terrible rut to be in.

I feel you on that. 4-6hrs works for me IF I can get it

For me, I have to be up for work at 5:30am. Currently, I'm deciding on calling out (again) or just pulling an all nighter / day and going to work.

Let me mail you some adderall. How health is your heart and liver?

Mostly joking.

But I sleep like shit and it is my own damn fault. I won't put my phone down or turn off a movie/show until far after I should. I need to change this shit.

A lot of it has to do with testosterone bottoming out.

I was told by my dr that I have the testosterone of an 85 year old man. When I take my shots regularly. I feel like I’m mid 30s and sleep well at night. When I don’t take them I can’t aleep right. Need naps all the time and basically suck at life.

I work in the airline industry and I used to work nights. I hated it.

I like to be up during the night doing my own thing, reading, playing music, etc, but I hated working at night.

Exercise during the day, get some sunlight, enjoy a good meal at night, maybe a glass of red wine, or a hit or two of a decent Indica.

You should end up sleeping well at that point. Good luck.

I've definitely heard that before - day & night.

In the certain field I'm in, there's a lot of employees that have access to cars and you see them spread out all over hiding and sleeping.

Try using an OTC sleep aid?

Sassy Squatch · 01-09-2019, 05:00 AM

Get up at 4:30 in the morning for work and once in a while I won't get to sleep until 2:30 or even 3. Feel like this all day.

big nasty kcnut · 01-09-2019, 05:56 AM

I just feel tired all the time.

I'm up at 5am and at work by 6. I've noticed over the last probably 7 or 8 years (I just turned 48...) that by mid day I need a power nap. 20 minutes, just to keep me from passing out at my desk.

I try to be in bed asleep by 9:30 or so, and some nights I manage earlier than that. I work out at least 3 days a week at Orange Theory, which is a pretty intense workout, so I'm getting my exercise. A couple of years ago I was diagnosed with sleep apnea so I now use a CPAP.

And I'm still tired during the day sometimes. I've decided it's just age.
