had to wake up at 5am today because I got scheduled for morning shift. Was awake playing a Minecraft modpack struggling to understand a crafting tree at 2:30am 😅

"No problem, I'll just stay awake the entire day and be super tired by nighttime."
By noon: "No I'm not taking a nap, I'm just resting my eyes for a minute."
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
No no, this time I'm staying up late for a good reason, trust me bro.
Then you feel exhausted the next day and regret staying up for no reason
So you do it again.
Wheel turning round and round.
https://www.sleepfoundation.org/sleep-hygiene/revenge-bedtime-procrastination I have been doing this for 3 weeks. I need to stop.
But if you go to sleep then you'd have to stop doing fun stuff.
Do you even realise it is late? Uh.
No I flow through time like a timeless being until I get eepy
If you stay up late enough it turns into being up too early.
Capitalist society doesn’t create a framework for healthy sleep. It’s tolerated as something that we do to function. We aren’t making money when we are asleep. With hourly work, the maintenance needed to keep a body going isn’t compensated.
Pre modern folks used to have different sleeping schedules than we did - often it was sleeping for a few hours in the evening, waking up a little after midnight, having sex/reading/small chores, and then falling back asleep. (It’s important to be careful when generalizing all of human culture, but I think this is one thing that is relatively universal.) That doesn’t work with the “must extract labor as efficiently as possible from every human” model.
I actually watched a video covering this topic recently, some other the other potential reasons given for the change was electricity (specifically lights) and entertainment services (theaters, bars, etc.) They correlate since having lights on the streets made it safer and thus the businesses could thrive. But now rather than falling asleep as say 8-9pm when it's dark and you've nothing to do (especially when it's only candle light), you can go out, watch movies, play games, drink, hang out etc. Which just naturally pushed how far out people stayed up in the night.
This is not fact, just potential explanations given by said video (see: Thoughty2 on YouTube, don't have the link ATM)
Yep, it is present on a lot of old literature.
I don't know if capitalism is to blame so much as a shift towards a more interdependent society. People blame the industrial revolution, which I think makes sense, but it's not the spectre of capitalism in and of itself. Having more dedicated roles meant less chores at home for everyone (eventually) but more chores like "going shopping" which has to be done during the hours when things are open which means you inherently want to concentrate all of your active hours for most of the population into a small subset (our current 8-6 time frame). There's still morning people and normal people, but that time is spent in general on concentrated large scale socialization (going to the bars or whatever) and individual hobbies (running for morning people, seemingly universally; games, tv, etc for normal people).
Of course all this is a guess. Maybe the monopoly man really does hate people sleeping. Elon sure does.
You know what, that’s fair. I like some elements of capitalism but when you’re right, you’re right. Fair point.
My problem is I get in a cycle of staying up late, then needing to take a nap the next day, but then not being tired to go to bed at night, so I stay up late. When I can break that cycle, it only lasts a few days.
Do I need to solve every crossword on [website]? No. Am I going to? Yes. To fix the eyes in a steady intent look often with eagerness or studious attention? Gaze.
I literally hate sleeping. There’s too much to do to spend 6-8 hours letting my brain cleanse itself!
Ok but really what the fuck is this? Spooky long arm giant=not wanting to sleep?
I guess? it's like an internal thing where I just don't wanna even if I know sleep is the logical thing to do so it feels like a 'massive force' which is represented in this meme as a big creature
I'm sure someone else can put it into words better than I can, I'm not very good with words, I am just here for the funnies :')
It’s me, what’s hard to understand
The picture, and the words on the picture, excluding the word "me" and the figure of the human.
