    Counter offer. Poor sleep hygene is hugely detrimental to every part of your health. It leaves your body weak, it hinders your cognitive abilities, it slows your reaction time, it deregulates your mood, and it leaves you with a low threshold for change and action. That’s not even touching the increased dependency on creature comforts and addictions that only feed the corpo wallet.

    There is an obvious reason the corps push for more hours and worse balance, Walmart got caught back in the oughts recommending managers routinely change up employee hours because the disruption makes them more complacent to the company.

    Get a good night sleep. Every night, every chance. Make it the foundation of your schedule. Use your well rested body, mind, and spirit to come up with new and creative ways to fuck over work. Good sleep is 6-10 hours of rebelling against the systems designed to oppress you and they give you the clarity of mind you need to make it a 24/7 rebellion.

        Give it a try for a week, then come back and tell me how you feel. I’m willing to bet, between the general improvements and the clarity I’d bet you’ll probably prefer it.

        One thing that rarely comes up is the sheer amount of money and time the government put into sleep studies to create a method for troops to sleep well. If sleep was meant to be avoided, the powers at be wouldn’t encourage their forces to sleep.

      i feel all these affects, but there’s nothing i can do about due to sleep apnea.

      since being diagnosed decades ago, i’ve learned that almost half of the us population suffers from it at well and reading this is making wonder if that’s why we’re all okay w living in a world controlled by billionaire pedo’s. lol

        First, the elite are absolutely using this against us. Where do you thing the cultural one upsmanship of working overtime comes from. A good shorthand to figure out if it’s an ideal pushed by the elite is looking at the tech bros and LinkedIn nuts to see what they preach. If their goal is to mirror the elite, then whatever they choose to do is the curated ideal the elites want of us.

        Secondly, in America a cpap machine is very expensive but mechanically its very easy to make one and it makes a huge difference. If you’re not mechanically inclined, hit me up and I’ll help.

          i’m lucky enough to have health insurance and i’ve learned the hard way not to trust my mechanical abilities, but thanks anyways.

          First, the elite are absolutely using this against us …

          i remember reading about a 3d printed cpap effort and it wouldn’t surprise me if i were killed off by something like the fda.

            Yeah, a ton of nonsense was produced about how the porous nature of 3d printing made it unreliable and conveniently missed the part where that can be solved by the application of superglue and plastic wrap.
