3 straight days with less than 3 hours of sleep per night. If something or someone wakes me in the first fifteen minutes as I'm drifting off, that's it, my wired for however long.

Previous two nights I just barely slept at all. Last night got awakened twice as I was drifting off. To start with, its ettypre for me to be able to fall asleep at all a second time.

Last three nights I'm not actually sure I even slept. I blinked and it was morning and I woke up exhausted. Only thing I can remember is racing thoughts, as I fell asleep, and the very same exact thoughts *as* I woke up, as if my brain had been thinking the same thing on a loop for a few hours, while I was catatonic and unable to fully shut down, stuck in 'on' mode all night and not realizing it.

Not a single fucking job I work honor's their god damn promises, let alone my repeated requests for night shift.

Was so exhausted yesterday my chest hurt.

How am I supposed to drive to work on less than 9 hours asleep spread out across three days? Cant catch a fuckong break lately, and when I do it's like the universe fucking sabotages me with shit like this.

    Good thing is that you only have to turn bolts :)

    Try doing some intense physical workout before sleeping to tire your body, so that it forces the brain to sleep.

    driving in this condition sounds like your next proper sleep might happen in hospital

    The only advice that helps me is to not stress about the sleep. The stress is worse than the lack of sleep.

    @electrineer other people stressing weirdly makes me less stressed.

    Sleepless streak ended on the fourth day. Hit like a fucking hammer.

    Took a wrong turn in the dark and got turned around. Lost the job I just got because was ten minutes late finding my way back. Its what happens on 72+ hours awake, while driving with one eye open. 😅
