I like to double down and do the healthy thing: get up at 5:30 and go to the gym.

    Give up and close your eyes. The next day is so much nicer when you do.

      It’s a double-edged sword as abandoning your personal time is mentally exhausting. But, yeah, being consistently sleep deprived creates a domino effect of making everything less enjoyable or even miserable, including your personal time.

        Being around kids is fine in the right head space. But it’s really really hard when you just keep thinking I just want to take a nap.

          Oh 100%, but if you’re never allowing yourself free time, you’re going to end up having side effects from that. Regardless, you shouldn’t need to sleep deprive yourself in order to get some time off.
