I realize this is an extremely first-world problem to have, but why do some services pride themselves on delivering stuff at 8am. Have you heard of disobeying your mom and going to sleep late
The later I am in the 20s the more I notice how the world is built by and for people with kids. Just because your sleep gets interrupted every day doesn’t mean you have to build it into every other system
While we’re on this topic, school starting at 9am is literal violence and I don’t know how we as a society decided this is a thing our kids mist do for the formative ten years of their lives
Sleeping in? Guess what you are a lazy, lazy kid. No good. You should instead spend every day in a state of sleep deprivation and then wonder in your adult life how you got anything done at all in that state
Anyway I’m incredibly lucky and grateful that my work hours are flexible which is not true for most jobs in the world. I’m so sorry for everyone who has to wake up by 9 because that’s the lowest common denominator the society has decided on
I hope this isn’t real but this parent can go straight to Hell https://twitter.com/tha_rami/status/1257475617760690177
I was routinely sleeping in while in high school. I could set five alarms and not wake up. Or snooze them and see a dream that I’m already in school. I literally had to put them in different corners of the room. I kept sleeping in transport, and even upright during classes.
Looking back at it, it’s messed up. I should’ve pushed for alternative arrangement. I didn’t think it was an option because adults said that people who struggle to wake up early are lazy. I only unlearned this after dropping out of the uni and noticing my mind is no longer foggy.
Some people are natural early risers. That’s cool. Maybe they’re the majority. But societal attitudes glorifying early rising and dunking on owls are toxic. If you struggle to empathise, imagine you were banned from going to bed until 3am. That’s what we feel like waking up at 7.
