Last night I slept for about 16 hours, during which I was in and out of a dream wherein a guy I knew stole my stone duck and I had to pursue him from New York to Boston before he boarded a train to Yuma, Arizona and disappeared forever. It was exactly as stressful as it sounds.

100%. There should be a footnote that says “continue sleeping if you haven’t gotten 7-9 hours of sleep”. Getting proper sleep, every night, is arguably the most important thing you can do to improve the quality of your life.

Can I go back to sleep to continue the dream to see how I get there?

Ya maybe for ppl without a job.
I want to see how you say that to your boss.

>continue sleeping if you haven’t gotten 7-9 hours of sleep
Ha. Haha. Tell that to my insomnia. If I stayed asleep that long, I'd be late to everything. It's not usually till about one or two in the morning before I can sleep, and I'm up by six-thirty.

mf723622 t1_iyxugaz wrote
I’m fortunate to have a job and a boss that provides this kind of flexibility, but I also have good sleep habits. I got to bed early enough where I can get 8 hours of sleep without having to feel like I need to jump out of bed the minute my alarm goes off because otherwise I’ll be late for work.
Harlequin-sama t1_iyxutfn wrote
I see you like to get penetrated by huge ass needles.
I did it a few times. The first time I saw that needle I asked if she is serious and want to stick that in my arm. I still remember how she pushed that gigantic needle into my arm.
mf723622 t1_iyxv9hf wrote
What time do you go to bed, or start winding down for the night? If you have insomnia you should talk to your doctor because only getting 4-5 hours of sleep a night will likely lead to poor health and an early death. Just saying you should try to figure out how to fix your insomnia.

I have a third choice. Hit the snooze and dream about getting back to sleep.

I'm usually in bed around ten pm. Being in the military for twelve years has really messed up my sleep. Seeing a counselor about some of the things that are affecting me. Trying to avoid medication as much as possible for now. Thank you for your concern though.

Then you realize that you're still dreaming because there's way more to achieving dreams and goals than a simple change in mindset. While hard work does help it also helps if you have the resources to be able to even chase your dreams. But this is "GetMotivatedWithToxicPositivity".

mostlygray t1_iyyaa8g wrote
Well, my dream last night was that I was back working at a job that I hated but also was no longer competent at. I was working for my friend who resented me and hated me in the dream and he spent the whole time insulting me. Then I screwed up my task worse than I ever had in my life and awoke feeling a sense of fear, loss, and disgrace.
In real life, I have a good job that I'm happy with.
Or maybe I want to chase the dream of being attacked by giant insects with human eyes and teeth like a wolf that bite and claw and tear the flesh from my bones as I try to kill them with my bare hands.
Have I told you about "The Things in the Dark?" They're the worst. You can kill them but it's very hard. They usually come back to life anyway. They have no faces but they have teeth and claws.
I'd like my dreams to stay as dreams please.

The wealthiest place in the world is not the gold mines of South America or the oil fields of Iraq or Iran. They are not the diamond mines of South Africa or the banks of the world. The wealthiest place on the planet is just down the road. It is the cemetery. There lie buried companies that were never started, inventions that were never made, bestselling books that were never written, and masterpieces that were never painted. In the cemetery is buried the greatest treasure of untapped potential.

Normal needles are already uncomfortable. It hurts a bit and is very uncomfortable. But the procedure itself is more uncomfortable the first time. There is this tense sucking sensation of your blood from the machine. The other times only the needle is disgusting.

the_other_irrevenant t1_iyzifco wrote
Sure. Those aren't mutually exclusive.
For example, in many (most?) cases, people go to bed at a time that allows some slack in the morning. mf723622 would presumably suggest using some of that time to make up your 7+ hours if necessary.
MaesterOlorin t1_iyzjzpi wrote
🤔 Ummm, this is rather demotivational, at least for me. Snuggle up with my insanely awesome dreams: from exploring the mysteries in a gothic noir greenhouse, to calling on the name of the Lord to confront and rebuke a man-shaped demon made of rattlesnakes, to fighting a worldeating space-squid the size of the sun with a ******* *******ing sword, a SWORD🤘, ... o-o-o-or go to a world where the best and most ruthless liars rule. TBH I don't think I normally have trouble picking go-wake-up, but I'm actually going to find tomorrow harder to face 😰

I have kids now and am constantly sleep deprived. Any time i complain to boomer relatives, they try and one up me with "oh yeah, well i slept even less!!" and millenial friends will always say "whose fault is that". Never help or empathy, just antagonism from all sides. I want to die. I cant live like this. No one cares.

I don't have kids - but can relate on the sleep deprivation due to responsibilities - regardless of the reason.
That's really tough, and it compounds.
Sleep is a multiplier and when you don't have it - everything is just that much harder and out of wack.
I hope things get better for you and that you get the good rest, peace of mind, and sincere empathy you deserve! 🙂
