All good tips. Mine is if you don’t live alone. I did nights with 6 kids and a husband. I never who would be home at any point in day. I got a good lock for our bedroom door. When I hunker down for a sleep I don’t have to worry that someone left the door unlocked and I’m gonna get robbed in my sleep My house might get robbed but i guess I feel safer sleeping with my area secured.
Plus kids who could see the sign on door saying moms sleeping and still tried…no luck. Lol

Ours is a keypad so my husband could always get in room if necessary

Also with phone. I put it on do not disturb. But because I have kids I had it so the school and my husband could get through. No other calls though

For me getting my brain to shut down helped. So knowing if kids school needed me I could be reached. My kids knew to hit dad up first with calls too

Good luck

What? Can’t you fit $300 in a sock?

what about people who live paycheck to paycheck because rent is 950/month and they only earn 250 a week?

I have little pitty for people that live paycheck to paycheck due to their own bad spending and complain about not having money.

“No one ever taught me to budget/save”

Well, you want to save money but end up spending everything. How about you simply don’t buy as much stuff you don’t need?

I’m in the same boat. Everybody else in my household is still asleep, but I need to get up early for work and it can be a downer. Meditating in the morning and listening to upbeat music has helped me out.

I studied econ and not a single assignment used excel

Go to bed earlier (Aim for 8 hours).

Have something in the morning you look forward to - watching an episode of a series you really like, or play 20 minutes of some game you like, or whatever.

That is my best advice.

Supplementing melatonin would change your circadian rhythm

Glass of cold water; Meditate 10 min; Cardio 10 min; Cold shower; Cocain;

I can get through a task in less than 10 mins that takes some of my coworkers over an hour thanks to a couple of spreadsheets I made over the course of maybe a day or two.

There is no great secret, we just need to complie a lot of information in a specific format from lots of different places. A spreadsheet can just do that in seconds and also removes a lot of human error. Honestly the amount of time I must have saved by not having to remember to use the US date format probably more than makes up for the time it took to make the spreadsheet.

Let's keep this thing going then, what are your top ten formulas? I've seen junk articles online with nothing useful

This replaces the index vlookup combo? I'll be checking this out!

The people in your life will not understand what it means that you work at night, even if you explain it to them. Set your phone to have a "do not disturb" schedule for your unwind/sleep phase. Spam, scam, and wrong numbers will call you during the day even if your own people leave you alone. Set the DND for peace of mind.

Are we at the point in idiocracy where using excel and word makes you a wizard?

Sounds like you need a Super King or Texas King

Find something you can do each night that will give you something to look forward to in the morning. Some of these may sound lame, but here are some examples: clean a room, work on a project like a craft. Set a timer on your coffee maker so it's ready when you wake up. Also, set your alarm to play a funny song or something. Hope this helps.

This comes up about once every 10 days here. No. The true solution is each person gets their own covers.

We have a king-sized bed and each have twin-sized covers. Picked up the idea when living in a furnished apartment in Europe 8 years ago and never looked back.

Perfect, you haven't unpacked everything yet

Burn it to the ground!

In all seriousness, as someone who likes spiders, if they’re only small, find someone in your friendship group who likes spiders, (there will be one somewhere) and exchange removal for snacks and / or booze.
If they’re massive / deadly, contact your local pest control or council.
There’s no spiders nests that are actually like concrete, you’ll probably need to send your friend for an eye test.

These worked for me: Amber light-blocking sunglasses for the drive home. Block all light in your room or eye mask. Eat healthy. No caffeine at least 8 hours before sleep. Melatonin or tart cherry juice an hour before bed. White noise machine or fan while sleeping.

Noise cancelling headphones and blackout curtains

Just wish you could get an extra LONG California king. Those almost cover my feet if I turn the whole thing diagonally.
