Trying to Adjust and Grow

Last month I lost my job, then two weeks ago I got job offers from two companies and now I'm working for both companies. I worked for 12 hours while the moon is up and attend to my kids and wife while the sun is up. Making sure that I complete every task that come my way (challenging myself to overcome procrastination). It has been a week since my busy schedule started and I think I'm getting used to it. I just can't find time when to squeeze sleep in my schedule

I'm sorry you lost your job, bastart, but happy you've found something to take its place... My sleep schedule is always broken slices of time where I can get some sleep. You get used to it after a while.

I used to have weekends to get me some long rest I deserve. I don't have that luxury anymore

But that's not good for your health. One should sleep for 6 hours continuously.

@hexeduser22 You think you deserve some long rest at times? I'm glad you're learning what real life is like.

I wish I knew that when I was younger. I always push myself or deprive myself of sleep just to have some fun Now that I want to sleep and my body needs it, I couldn't find time for it anymore

@sol_cee I sleep during siesta time that is why I can't sleep early when it's night time.

Do you work online? I understand when you work at night, it's not easy to get sleep during the day. Hope you make a good schedule to give rest to your body and mind.

@hexeduser22 hmm...thats fine.. the corporate world is not good. I have a regular offline job and it's hard to do the job because of office politics. Our boss who knows nothing dictates to us like we are his slaves. He shouts and irritates us for anything.

I realized that the hard way, yesterday. I'm now trying to strike a balance between work, life and rest.

Pfft, who really needs sleep? That is just a recommendation right? Right? No? Oh...well... hmm. Hopefully you find a nap or a little snooze here and there at some point!
