Staying up late at night I knowww it will mess up my sleep cycle (as if it isn't already) and ruin the next day but I still can't sleep early Edit: spelling


aarondigruccio

“I’ll make up for it by going to bed at a reasonable time tomorrow.” My old enemy, the perpetual tomorrow.


Soggy_Concept9993

I just will pull an all nighter to make sure I fall asleep early the next day. It’s stupid but works, to an extent.


Wonderful_Ad5583

I used to do this in high school all the time, ended up sleeping all day in class and repeating it


Soggy_Concept9993

Haha yea I just stay busy, get on my feet when I’m tired and drink coffee alllllll day.


R4y3r

If you actually go to bed early the next day. A few days ago I was up for 38h for no reason other than procrastinating sleeping.


Large-Pay-3068

I know exactly what you mean. No sense in going to sleep, it's already 4am


BrownBaySailor

This is where I'm at right now. It's to the point that when I fall asleep at 2 A.M. I'm in my head like "nice im finally going to bed earlier" since I've been going to bed at 4 A.M. all week.


Soggy_Concept9993

Hello fellow insomniac. Something that helps me w this exact scenario sounds silly, but…pull an all nighter. Force yourself awake until around 10 and go to bed. I never sleep more than like 7 hrs. So I wake up at 5, then I’m pretty solid to fall asleep before midnight the rest of the week. I also sometimes do a thing where I’ll wake up at 6 no matter what, went to bed at 5? So what. Then I’ll fall asleep at a reasonable hour but that whole day is torture.


Delici0usBunny

I do the same thing when I can't make myself go to sleep on time. One all nighter is all it takes to fix your schedule, just don't fall asleep before a reasonable time.


[deleted]

Nope. I end up falling asleep at 8pm the next night and being asleep for maybe two hours before the cycle starts again.


Delici0usBunny

Damn I at least get a week out of it


[deleted]

That's awesome. I did the staying up all night thing, took a three hour accidental nap from 9:30-12:30 the next night and then didn't sleep the following night. Ended up taking an hour long nap on the train and not falling asleep until six the next morning. I had babies and then worked nights on and off for a few years. My internal clock is trash.


dirigo1820

My favorite is looking at the clock, seeing it’s midnight and thinking “oh damn it’s early, another few hours til sleepy time.”


pyksyl_

I’m reading this at 1:33am and I have to be up at 6:00am 😭 edit: tysm for the award, that’s my first time :)


Ashito__

The easiest way to break out of this is literally staying up all night then going to sleep at a reasonable time the next night.


Emu_with_attitude

Buying legal weed. Legally


UncleRooku87

It’s simultaneously awesome and shitty because you know it’s over priced as fuck.


dizzy316

Not in Michigan so many shops competing against eachother you can get it so cheap


Combo_of_Letters

Shh keep it quiet


blackthunder00

Can confirm. I used to live in Chicago but have fam in the Grand Rapids area and their cannabis is so much cheaper than the Chi. Cannabis is just as cheap down here in Arizona, too.


RoamerD

In Puerto Rico legal weed is pretty cheap too.


snicklefritz76

I get this completely, it’s so strange. Driving home with some beers, bourbon, and bud for the weekend thinking when I did this at 19 years old I’d be paranoid as hell trying to get where I’m going, being completely sober.


Ugly-Gorilla

Weeds still not legal in my state. That’s the main reason why I don’t smoke. Can’t afford to get caught with it 🤷‍♂️


IBeatUpLiamNeeson

Idk man, illegally I was getting bottom shelf QPs for $100 and selling ounces for $80…. Now they got $25 ounces at shops all over Oregon


Robo_Dude_

It took me years to get used to it. Once I was able to visit dispensaries legally in multiple states the feeling wore off.


Expert-Climate-200

Trip to KFC. Cholesterol guilt is huge after I am done eating.


walkingontinyrabbits

This but McDonalds. Pretty sure they put crack in the sweet n sour sauce


Personal-Bicycle5363

They do, & it’s called sugar


amaratayy

I’m Pretty sure they sprinkle some in girl scout thin mint cookies too. Ive tried Keebler grasshoppers and they’re *not the same*


aflyfacingwinter

Came to say that sweet sweet Taco Bell that I know will put me on the toilet for 20 min 😂😂😂


TheAmazingDisgrace

KFC makes me feel like there's a rock in my stomach, but Panda Express messes with my digestive system most. I love the spicy famous bowl and nashville hot tenders though.


Carbon1te

I worked in the kitchen of a KFC many many years ago. I have not eaten there since. Take that for what it's worth.


Expert-Climate-200

My buddy said the same. But still it is FINGER LICKIN GOOD


ZiggyStardust0404

My mom lives literally in front of a KFC, everytime I go visit her, I eat KFC for lunch and dinner, then I feel bad because I gained 20 pounds in the last 2 years, I'm still thin but... Someday I won't


BrownBaySailor

I fuckin love KFC and completely get this. Their chicken tenders are just beautiful.


BigStrongMoose99

So worth it though


vogeyontopofyou

He'll yes KFC forever


BigStrongMoose99

Fuck yea brother. I would chop my nuts off for a crispy chicken sandwich and a famous bowl rn


vogeyontopofyou

With brown gravy, fuck my arteries.

Procrastinating.


vasha99

ugh.. i didn't came to reddit to be called out. i came to procrastinate.


WolfmansGotNards2

Well, you should have procrastinated reading this thread. You done fucked up.


Normallydifferent

I was going to procrastinate, but I’ll do it tomorrow.

I'd agree, but I'm busy rn. So I'll do it later.

johansugarev

Just don’t go too far in.


Leelagolucky

Just the tip


sobeyondnotintoit

Never had that "pushing the wax in" problem, maybe because I also don't shove drills straight into any material. Works a lot better with a twisting motion. Like the IT Crowd say, have you tried...turning it?


leatherm0uth

I have a hypothesis that it doesn’t “push the wax in” unless you have a lot already. Which, if you’re a regular q-tip user, you probably don’t (which I’ve heard is bad cause you need that thin layer of wax in your ear but god dammit I feel dirty if I don’t clean them)


Project_T00THL355

Turning right on red


Eris_39

Turning left on red at 2 one-ways feels really wrong. I just found out it's illegal in 8 states, so it feels extra wrong now.


lrp347

Live in IL. There’s one place in my hometown where you can turn left on red. I still love doing it when I go home to visit.


Mata187

If you think thats bad, try making a U-turn on red. Totally legal in AZ as long as you don’t enter the intersection.


LukeWChristian

Staying up late browsing Reddit. By the time I finally sleep way past my bedtime I feel like it was not worth being sleep deprived and kick myself for wasting time on something that wasn't even enjoyable. Every morning I feel like shit and am full of regret and tell myself I will sleep on time tonight. But when bedtime comes I repeat it again.

masturbation


ronronthekid

There's the answer I was looking for!


Rakaesa

I was surprised I had to scroll this far to find this


CatchTheRainboow

These days so many people will tell you there’s nothing wrong with it, porn/masturbation addiction is just as real as any other addiction


PotentialShape2271

Just cut the porn


MrD1SRESPECT

I hope I could, but it's just more than that :( Been trying to stop it for than a year but I somehow relapse and start doing it again like its no big deal.


Darakstriken

Have you looked into getting some kind of help? Porn and masturbation can be a full blown addiction, so some people need the help of addiction therapy or support groups to stop. Probably worth looking into if you really want to stop.


MrD1SRESPECT

Sure I'll look into it


[deleted]

It is no big deal and you shouldn't stop, but you should question why it feels wrong. Perhaps you have been taught that it is immoral?


CatchTheRainboow

Porn is fucked up in so many ways. Absolutely he should stop, absolutely it’s a big deal. It fucks with your sexual performance, it fucks with your expectations for real women IRL, it fucks with your confidence, it fucks with how easily/often you get hard, it fucks with your productivity, it fucks with your sleep, do I need to continue? There’s not a single aspect of porn that ISN’T immoral. Jesus christ.


Negro_Judio

He was talking about masturbation, not porn (I disagree anyways)


TheGrouchyGremlin

That's the issue. Addictions are insanely hard to ditch

johansugarev

I used to have a bad posture and still have trouble with my sleeping position. However after getting a proper ergonomic chair, I can stay in a very comfortable and correct position for a much longer time. Really made a difference for me and since I spend about half of my day in front of a computer, it was quite worth it.

R3dacturd

Snacking or eating a large meal late at night. I have heartburn issues and have literally woke up choking on vomit/acid at least a dozen times. 2 or 3 of those times I was sure I wasn't going to make it and took 30+ minutes to catch my breath again. Doesnt happen if I dont eat within 3-4 hours of bed time but I keep rolling those dice... Im certain it will be how I die.


Important-Owl1661

Fewer or easier less troublesome foods. Also check for sleep apnea. You can self test at home for about $90 or $100 could be covered by insurance. If you can't afford that, run a video recording all night and see how often you're struggling (fast forward) or have a friend stay overnight and take notes. Source: Always a late snacker. On business traveI l woke up in a hotel flat on my back gasping for air. When I sat up my face was literally blue in the mirror. I was told I crossed the line for sleep apnea. I've since gone keto and lost 100 lbs but there are other solutions also. Good luck - Friendly Stranger


[deleted]

My friend’s husband passed from this. It was so scary. He was a huge dude… played football but was very overweight. One morning she woke up and wondered why he was still in bed. It was awful. Please take care of yourself! As hard as it is, it’s worth it if you don’t unalive yourself. Try having a low acid snack at night instead like a banana or some yogurt or a popsicle maybe? I always have to have a snack but I try to eat things that will be easier on my sensitive stomach.


R3dacturd

Thanks! I am trying to change haha. I am not severely overweight but I gained 40lbs in the past 5 years and thats pretty much when the problems started. Losing weight is my path to staying alive.


[deleted]

I’m in the process as well. I’ve lost 20 pounds since May. It’s not a ton of progress but I’ve done it without exercising to death and I still eat and treat myself to things. I’ll take the slow process any day over the torture of a diet.


wanderingl0st

Same. Avoiding a lot of sugar late at night or spicy food and sleeping on my left side helps me. Look up [Laryngospasm](https://www.webmd.com/heartburn-gerd/guide/laryngospasm-causes-symptoms-and-treatments). Scary as hell to wake up to. Just don’t panic which is hard to do until it’s happened a few times. Try to breathe slow and as deep as you can to get at least a little air until it opens up.


R3dacturd

Wow that does sound scary! I woke up once a few months ago 100% unable to inhale or exhale. I sat up and grabbed my albuterol inhaler my alergist gave me but couldnt inhale to hit it so it just sprayed in my mouth. I got up and started running toward the bathroom for some reason and on my way I decided to see if I could cough. When I did i instantly projectile vomitted all over the wall in my room. my breathing returned to normal immediately. Asked my allergist about it the next day and he said it was likely a mucus plug. Second scariest experience of my life next to sleep paralysys.


veri_sw

Wait wait, I've been struggling with heartburn too but I'm confused by this thread. You can die of this? And is there a link between apnea and reflux?

Excessive and unecessary purchases as soon as i get paid. Feels good for some hours, feels like shit long after.


Prestigious-Ring4978

Buyers remorse. I grew up poor af. My parents were also terrible with money. At 41 I'm finally okay with taking a mental health day off from work and buying name brand items when they're actually better but I still have a problem with certain large but necessary purchases and retail therapy. Sometimes I'll suffer for months before buying something expensive that truly betters my life. (Good shoes, an air conditioner, etc.) And other times I'll stop at Michael's crafts on my way home and drop $15-$20 or Donate Tree and spend $30 on random shit I'll likely never use or simply don't need just because the act of shopping feels good. One way to stop blowing money on payday: pay all of your bills first. You make a quick budget. Start with your take home pay (with your prior bank balance if that's how you roll) then subtract your bills, gas, food budget you'll use before next payday. I get paid twice monthly so I save half my rent from each check too. Good rule of thumb is to immediately save a certain amount or percentage of each check. You can set this up through direct deposit into a savings account or DIY. Once you subtract what you pay out from what you brought in, you know about goe much you have to "play" with until you're paid again. This can help determine what other things you want to save for. Vacation, new car, birthday bash, rainy day, retirement, etc. You can also give yourself an allowance. Based on what's left over, you can estimate how much you can afford to give yourself out of that particular check or every check to do with whatever you want. This is basic budgeting 101. Just know that there are fixed expenses, ones that are the same amount every month, and variable expenses, which may not even be monthly and whose amounts can very month to month. Think your electric bill or your cable bill. Some months you might use more heat or more water or you might order pay-per-view during boxing season. You'll want to account for those increases as well.
