I've been a wagie for 5-1/2 years now and I'm losing my job soon. I've slept 5 to 6, now a hard 5, hours a night on weeknights for that time. I cope with coffee after I fell asleep standing up at the factory and almost got fired. Tried to go to bed earlier but the wagie rage I just couldn't stand it. Slowly it ruined me

Has anyone else been on a shit sleep schedule like this for several years, then started sleeping better and recovered? If so how long did it take. Was some of the famage permanent? How old were you? For me this has been the ages of 25 to 31.

many of the negative effects of chronic sleep deprivation CAN be reversed by consistently getting adequate, good-quality sleep. but it's not a quick fix.

How long do you think it will take before I can evaluate what damage to me is permanent?
3 hours less sleep per night, times 5 nights per week, times 50 weeks per year (I had some vacations) times 5-1/2 years, is over 4000 hours missed sleep. That's more than all my Steam games put together.

Stop gaming on your work days. Just go to sleep and don't use any electronic devices. Put on your alarm and sleep

I hardly even game anymore. I almost never game alone now. Its just a matter of trying to fit in all my hobbies and projects. Never enough time. The burnout is a lot but I am hoping a month or two of NEETing will fix it.

Embrace it. If you wake up early, you can use your mornings to game instead of the afternoons.

I won't read this bullshit meme thread of supposedly having to recover from brain-damage or chronic lack of sleep posted by a subhuman with substance habits.

you need to reset your sleep cycle. you can force this by a 20 hour fast (at least), then waking up one day at 6am and having a massive breakfast.

from that day on, no food after 7pm. no coffee after 4pm.

btw do some exercise. hell start doing pushups at home, start with 5 and try to increase it every 2 days by just 1.

What substances?

Yeah I'm gonna just quit coffee entirely once I'm done with my job. I wake up at 4:46 a.m. so I can be at work by 6, have my first coffee at 8 at my break, have my 2nd coffee at 2 at my other break, then leave work at 3:30. I refuse to pay for coffee. If they run out at work then I just say okay if I fall asleep and they fire me it's their fucking loss.
