    Wanting to go back to sleep after waking is the best feeling on the weekend where you do just stay in bed and cuddle up in the blankets.

          Oh god it has become like a weird sport for me.
          Like when i was young, i could just sleep all day with no problem. Now i can’t really, but i can set my alarm on 7am on a saturday and hit snooze until it’s noon. I’ll have a new dream every 15 minutes and it’s super fun.

            I mean, unfortunately, I will still sometimes get up at 6am or something even without an alarm. But the knowledge that I don’t have to get up. priceless.

      I set an alarm for like an hour before I actually have to get up, every day. Not sure if it’s helping or hurting at this point but I get to go back to bed

    Try night shift for a few months. You will absolutely despise the sun because no matter how tired you are during your shift, as soon as that bastard comes up you will struggle to fall asleep as you become increasingly more frustrated at that fact, leaving you even more fatigued for your next shift and destroying your mental health. Experiencing that has totally cured my disdain for any amount of trouble falling asleep at night, because at least your body kinda knows you’re supposed to be sleeping at night.

    Also, the clients you have to deal with at night if you’re in the service industry tends to be 10x more horrible than your average daytime Karen. I legit had someone scream at me for waking them up with an emergency call to them despite them being the ones to pay extra for 24/7 live notifications on the systems we manage for them.

    (Obviously not actually saying you should actually try night shift, quite the opposite. It fucking sucks, avoid it like the plague.)

      Meanwhile, I actively looked for night shift jobs because you deal with considerably less people.

      I liked Night Shift. Work was slightly relaxed, few people around, able to listen to music while doing whatever, just an introverts dream really. The sun I was able to easily black out. They sell blackout curtains now you can stick to windows. $20 on Amazon and turns my room pitch black.
