I’m currently treating sleep apnea, because of a lifelong abuse of my sleep cycle.

I’m also dealing with issues with my heart because of the apnea and pushing my body so far without resting properly.

I’ve likely stolen a decade or more from my life all because I refused to sleep just to “get ahead”.

you young folk take note. sleep well, eat well, live well. you do those things and you shouldn’t need to live with a weight on your chest until you die. every hour I’m reminded how fragile I am, and trust me when I say I was fucking invincible in my youth…just like you feel. go head, set a timer in your phone to go off every hour that asks if you’re going to see tomorrow.

Right. My wife and my daughter will sleep all morning. I’m up at 6 at the very latest. If I’m lucky.
