i wrote a mega essay but i'll condense my thoughts only this once LMFAO
for me, i need less hrs. i need like 6hrs of sleep, not 8. once i sleep 8hrs or more, i oversleep. oversleeping prevents that 'tired' feeling but i feel different. i cant think at all, and i process things MUCH slower. it takes me 6+ hrs before i can even have a normal ass convo tbh. i slept 17hrs today. definitely not 'tired', but not 'good'. i overthink n i'm anxious. i stay up for most of the day n night, i feel great. even more so when i stay up long periods of time. when i was up for 3 days in a row w/ maybe a couple hrs of sleep, i felt peak. but when i was working and had a very consistent sleep schedule, i felt similarly good. i worked every single day, 16-17hr shifts every other day. i need like an hour or 2 to get up n go to bed etc. both can be true. i wanna say 'fix yo sleep schedule' or w/e, but i can't rn so i'm not gonna preach it. but i did notice i was an entirely different person than i am nowadays.
