>>84433946Whatever you do don't drive. Being fatigued has the exact same effect as being drunk when it comes to driving.
>>84433946hello friday
>>84433946>sleep deprivation induced brain damageYep, pretty sure I have this. Long ago gave up on getting enough sleep, or trying to go to bed before my body is ready (around 4AM usually) and I just drink red bull and/or yerba mate when I need to actually get up and do something.
>>84433946what days do you work? you'll have to introduce a break every 2 working days
>>84433946warm shower and brush your teeth when you get home, then read in bed for an hour. Also mark what time you're drinking caffiene and what the amount each day.
>>84433955i drive a lot better drunk than fatigued actually since at least i can pay attention and not hallucinatei was listening to this long repetitive song at the time and it put me into a legit trance and i was starting to see shapes and colors materializing on the road and following the slightest curve in the road felt like the equivalent effort to trying to move a boulderdefinitely ran a few red lights but i drive home at like 5am so theres almost nobody around for me to hit luckilyon that same night i was almost isekai'd by truck-kun due to situational awareness having dropped to near absolute zero while i was making a turn into a parking lot. if he didnt swerve i would have absolutely died, 18 wheeler in a 55mph zone nearly head-on with a gay little hatchback>>84433985you can eventually develop schizophrenia from that you know>>84433986it's an annoying schedule where my day off moves "forward" every week. i.e week 1 would be sunday and monday, week 2 sunday and tuesday, week 3 sunday and wednesday etcit makes it so that you never get multiple days off in a row with the tradeoff being you get a 3-day sat-sun-mon weekendi usually pay off my sleep debt on my days off, ill sleep like 10-16 hours in one session
>>84433946>37 hoursfuck your dick. take some pillsmelatonin, benadryl are over the counterindica weed works too if you don't have to worry about drug tests, as long as you're disciplined enough to not do anythinga doctor can prescribe ambienyeah it sounds drastic but 37 is way too much
>>84433946Thats what the late shift does to you. I thought it was awesome at the start but after about 1.5 years something changes in you.The closest solution I've found is to just set your alarm to 11 am and just stick to it or a time you find suitable no matter what.Still its probably better than being forced awake at 7.30 am to start work at 9. I think people should aim to be eventually in a position where they are not forced to work. And all caffeine does is make you awake in the moment at the expense of later.
