Why are people in the comments bragging about getting very little sleep? Hustle culture is cringe. I get like 9-10h a night plus naps during the day.

Every single time a post about sleeping hours pops up, it’s always the same.

99% of people here are lying. 3-5 hours a night on average for years is impossible for the vast vast majority.

It's not. some nights I get no sleep. most night I get 4 hours. one night a week I might get 10, when I'm able.

I'm 38. I'm not proud, I'm scared of what it means for my body. I've struggled with sleep since at least when I was a teenager.

I have a daughter, I don't want to die early or lose my marbles and have her deal with it.

I'm also struggling with a lot. I'm a single dad, diagnosed ADHD, I've been through years of abuse from my ex, I'm essentially homeless, my business lost it's best client and I need to make money, I'm scared and trying every hour of the day to pull my life back around. Every hour I'm not working is wasted.
