When people around me complain about being worn out, i cheerfully remind them that we’re about the only critters that don’t just fucking REST when we’re TIRED.
Why the FUCK is it normal to down stimulants ‘like an adult’ instead of napping?
I’m narcoleptic, and I’ve been defending my need for sleep my whole life- but mostly, its me reminding people that I nap when my body feels fatigued, like every other mammal I’m aware of, and perhaps I’m not the unusual one.

Capitalism, that’s why.
Yeah i had that realization when i lost my job and actually caught up on sleep- if i get at least nine hours of good sleep a night, all the time, and don’t live in constant burnout, i have almost no symptoms.
I’m sick from trying to live up to their standards. I’m just a sleepy critter, not a broken person ffs.

Because I’m an ADULT.
NO NAP! NO NAP!
Tons of animals sleep for like 20 hours a day.
My dream is to be a house cat.
I too would like to sleep all day then go goblin mode at 2am.

And here we have yet another point towards religions being at least partly “how to survive” guides in ancient times, and there still being good secular life lessons that can be learned from them.
I’m religious as well (with the same command for a day of rest), but even when I was not, I could recognize the potential social, community, and moral benefits.
There’s a lot of bullshit, and a lot of assholes out there looking for any backing they can use to be self-righteous about their asshole beliefs. But there’s still good rattling around too. Like I love Christianity’s core rule that effectively says “Don’t be a shithead to people unless you want them to be shitheads back”. Wish more Christians could live that. It’s not the only plainly practical advice either.
I also personally believe that there’s a lot of problems in society stemming from the general disconnection that most people have from any source of local community and the people living around them. Communities definitely don’t need a local religious organization to gather around, but historically they were cornerstones. In the modern world we’ve moved on from them without much concentrated effort to backfill the benefits that have been lost.
Same here, and it’s kept me sane through a crazy-busy school term.
Do ants dream of electric aphids?
And if they do, is there a game in it?
Maxis is not a word I’ve seen in quite a while.
I try to remind people that doing nothing is not a bad thing and something you can enjoy. Productivity can be quite addictive for some people. For others, it can be so ingrained into their mindset that they are driven by guilt to remain productive.
In a couple years from now when the sun finally decides to kill all life on earth for shit and giggles, all that progress and productivity won’t mean anything. I’d rather chill the fuck out and enjoy the nice views with the people I like around me and I only have one life to do that.
No no, I am definitely living food storage.
