  • Sounds good - it’s important to get those 8 hours and listening to your body (avoiding screens when you can during dark hours since that’ll fuck around your circadian rhythm).

    Sometimes you can get away with 6 hours in total if you haven’t been overexerting yourself. I found that I slept like 9 -10 hours uninterrupted after exhaustive days but taking the naps and ensuring I have good sleep hygiene leads to me feel great with only 8 segemented sleep.

    9 to 5 sucks ass.

    You gotta listen to your body and take that powernap when you can (already made a previous comment about how the human body isn’t built to do strict wake-sleep cycles, it’s natural to have 2 separate sleeps in the same night, and historically people from early morning to noon since the sun is too harsh by then). I generally found taking a 15 minute nap after a meal is enough to get me through the rest of the day. Though it’s insane that corpos expect anything more than 60% effort after 2pm when most have been up since 6am.

    Take your hours back, they won’t give it back to you.



  • Similar situation. I quickly glance between Lemmy and Mastodon and only use old.reddit when I’m on my PC (just realised I hadn’t really used it since I’ve been making an effort to engage with the manga communities on lemmy) . All my friends and favourite artists seem to use Instagram so I only use it out of necessity for messaging and quick inspirations (I tried using Cara but I found the app somewhat slow and disliked that it wasn’t federated, so I could see it having a very low lifespan. I saw it as a poor move for artists to move to it solely on the promise of being “anti-AI” without any redundancies that a de-federated option would have)
