    If I forget to set an alarm on days I need to get up I always wake up in the middle of the night and remember to set it

    Even though I have to get out of bed to turn my alarm off, I still need to set an alarm on my phone a few minutes later to ensure I get up early.

    I used to not sleep well. Sleeping better since I lost the weight, but every time I stray and eat poop food (like a few days during christmas) I go back to waking up feeling like a desert with phlegm all over the inside of my mouth (ladies)

    can feel tired or not tired at all either way, though. Always been a pretty random thing for me (seemingly not dependent on how much I sleep or when I sleep etc)

    I know that some folks are "morning people" and some are "evening people", but it surely seems there's more to it here than that. Have you tried getting it looked at, or is it just one those "meh" things?

    I am a diagnosed insomniac on permanent medication. Honestly the sleep I get now is much better than when I wasn't medicated.

    It's just a thing. I've learned to deal with it.

    Cracked.com taught me that people are supposed to sleep for 2-3 hours, wake up and fuck, then sleep for 2-3 hours

    I'll never have a good night's rest

    I recently read about a study like 20 years ago where they made couples and small groups live in isolation for a like a month, and they were encouraged to work, exercise, relax, have phone conversations, watch prerecorded movies and tv and stuff

    basically they lived a totally normal life, only deprived of a day/night cycle and made ignorant of the time and given no restraints on having to be asleep or awake at any particular time.

    I don't remember the exact numbers, but when left just up to when someone felt wakeful or sleepy, the "day/night" cycle shifted to something more like 35 hours.

    People would be awake and active until they felt tired enough to go back to sleep, then sleep solid for something like 10-12 hours, then happily wake and do it again.

    The trend was visible in people with healthy sleep patterns as well as insomniacs, both groups tended to regress closer to the mean, and both claimed to be more energetic.

    I'm trying to find the study now but I can't so maybe I'm misremembering but I definitely remember hearing about it and thinking it was a revelation

    I think I remember that, although it was ages and ages ago. First people moved to 25 hours, stabilised for a brief period, and then just went whole hog off the deep end toward 40 hours.

    So I'm sitting here working and Jamiroquai's first album just came on. I can't believe this album is nearly 20 years old. In fact, I can't believe anything released in 1993 is nearly twenty years old. I mean, I know the maths adds up. But it just doesn't work.

    Yeah I have Jamiroquai in my library, wanna fight about it?

    I just got offered a job to do the thing that I am going to study when I go back to school in February

    im not, I just don't give myself enough credit – if any, at all

    but get this, the job is a web design and development job.

    whatever, I'm sure I'll do fine

    Oh, well if it's actual "development", you're gonna struggle (unless you've been teaching yourself programming), but if it's just screwing around with CMS and stuff, you'll manage well enough.

    hey man

    every single job I have ever had, including the one I have now, I got because I knew the right people

    it's never JUST because of that; in all cases, these people put me up for the job because they know I can do the work

    and I actually GOT all those jobs because I am an ace interviewee

    ain't no shame in it

    you'll be fine because your knowledge is contemporary

    web design/development is an area that changes rapidly and constantly, so honestly it's less about formal training and more about staying up to date with what's happening and what the trends are

    as long as you do that, you will be fine

    Unless it's an actual development role where you are required to know how to program in a handful of languages and are familiar with the foundations and constructs of a programming language. You can't really pick that up in the course of a few weeks unless you're a genius I guess.
