I have what Misty would consider to be an honest profession. But I get yelled at externally and internally all day every day for the most infinitely small matters all day every day. Even with a clear conscious, that hard day’s work messes with my sleep.
I’m reassessing my life this fall. I’m pretty old, so new marketable skills aren’t really an option. Not sure what the next step is.
(It’s not where I work or who I work for. It’s the industry in and of itself. When you’ve got direct influence over other people’s personal finances, the darkest sides of humanity consistently emerge)
An old timer saying is “The best sleep medicine is hard days work and a clean conscience”.
Yep, maybe 3 pills tonight then
Which are you skimping on? The hard work or the clean conscience? Although, old timers also took medicinal heroin and drank bourbon all day long
yes
Honestly it’s more like hard work makes it really hard to sleep for me.
That is, hard mental work, it’s a bit hard to do hard labor in the tech industry.
I don’t take sleep meds though, but it does mess with my sleep sometimes.

My job is all mental, and I mostly enjoy it, so working more makes me sleep worse. Lol
