    Sleep is crucial. I don't let anything affect my sleep schedule anymore. I go to bed at 10 pm and wake at 6 am each day.

    Hustle culture has messed with folks' priorities of sleep. Some people are night owls and that's fine for them.

    But I will not be responding to your messages after 6 p.m. and I will not be working after 5 p.m.

    Why? My mood. My energy. My routine. My life. They're important to me.

    Let me sleep or I will cut you. 😊 😴 🔪

    I am super tired every morning but I am super attentive at night and don't have the desire to sleep.

    I've struggled with sleep for a long time. Last night I went to bed at 2 AM EST, just because I was making music for a while.

    During the weekdays I'm usually going to bed pretty early. I prefer to pass out ~10 PM, it seems to me like an appropriate time.

    The hardest thing is waking up early. I don't know how people wake up 5 AM EST, there are people I know who have done it for 6 months or so, then they always revert back to their regular schedule.

      I hear you on this. It can be tough to get into an early-wake-up routine.

      One thing that I did was buy a light alarm clock. It's like your basic alarm clock but uses a gradual light to wake you up.

      After about 10~ days my body adjusted to the natural rhythm and now I wake up with more energy. Not waking up during a REM cycle is important.
