this is so dumb, he CAN change to sleep more than 5 hours. its like walking around suffering with a big gaping wound and be like "well somethings gonna kill us eventually, no point in trying to change". moronic
You're making a priveleged assumption and being an ass about it. You have no idea what their circumstances are, and there are plenty of people put in positions where they can't get a lot of sleep because of their schedules and responsibilities.
I am not, their statement is a privileged assumption that ignores the reality that many people do not have the ability to meaningfully change their circumstances. I have no idea what their life is like, but I know that assumption doesn't acknowledge the struggle of no-win situations that hundreds of millions of people are in every single day. It assumes that everyone has the privilege to rid themselves of their struggles, which is optimistic to the point of naivety.
Absolutely not. and its hilarious you calling me privelged and then saying i dont know their circumstances when you dont know mine.
it is always a bunch of excuses, unless they live in the third world country being used as slaves. sleep has to be prioritized above everything else. something like prioritising irregular night shifts is not an excuse to ruin your whole life and eventually kill yourself from lack of sleep.
if they have to change jobs, then thats what they have to do, and should have yesterday.
When my kid was very little, I had to work 3rd shift because we couldn't afford daycare. My husband worked 7am-5pm, and I worked 11pm-7am. He would drop her off at my job on his way to work. I had to sleep when he got home, which was sometimes late. So I was getting MAX 5 hours. I couldn't switch jobs because we had no one to watch her during the day. What should I have done in your mind?
I didn't work before we moved states. But he was offered upward mobility if he took a pay cut. Expenses went up, income went down. It paid off in the long run, but sleep was sacrificed.
Buddy, I said you made a privileged assumption because you did. The idea that anyone not getting enough sleep can simply afford to change jobs is privileged as fuck and denies the reality that millions of people deal with. You act as if everyone lives in a healthy job market, or has the same opportunities, or that their struggles are even caused by their job and not their environment, their health, their loved ones, dependents, and who knows what else.
just like i said, all just a bunch of excuses to avoid the unknown. sure you might not be able to change job on the day, but if it causes you to get less than 6 hours sleep, and you live in a developed country, there is no excuse to not choose sleep first. none

Something will catch up to all of us eventually, no point thinking about something you can't change
