this may be a prime opportunity to embrace some good sleep health habits which will help you overall. theres more out there, but what I can remember is... Sleep in a dark room so your brian makes melatonin, avoid using your bed/ bedroom for more than sleep, establish and keep a schedule, be wary that it only takes like 2 wonky days to disrupt an already established schedule, and try to avoid over-relying on sleeping pills or on energy drinks.

Luckily I have a cat who meows every morning for food and cuddles with me in the morning for it.🤗

What about if someone is sealioning?

it’s too pricey for me :( i’ve looked into it before as well, i wish i had one

Get a sunlight alarm clock. Will wake you up naturally. Bought one from Phillips which mimics a 30min sunrise. Apart from a handful of mornings, I have always woken up more energetic and before the set alarm time

Exactly.

Even better, just avoid online arguments.

LPT normies don't get the meme.

What if the person has mental ilness that makes them impulsive in money spending. Sure, still their own fault but you but be more forgiving.

I'll admit I was really unsure about my king size quilt on the queen mattress, but it's grown on me quite a lot 😊

I have to wake up early as well, and I always make sure I prep everything the evening before, so that I'm not rushing around and it's generally low-stress just getting up and out the door. I also have a glass of water first thing.

I used to work a ridiculous schedule where sometimes it would be overnights or sometimes it would be 5am clock in. It began taking a serious toll on my mental health. My solution? (Well, before I ultimately left the job) Play awesome music! Music that gets ya going. Music to help bring your mood up. :) I would also make sure to always do a morning shower because it helps to wake me up.

I can understand why waking up early might make you feel low. Maybe you can try doing something you enjoy in the morning to start your day off on a positive note, like listening to music or going for a walk. You could also try to adjust your sleeping schedule so that you get enough rest and wake up feeling more refreshed.

I love reporting “LPTs” like this. You should try it—fun!

Hard? Spiders don’t normally (there’s a couple of exceptions) have hard nests. That’s normally for other things like wasps and stuff. I’d love to see a picture!

I live in a safe zone about spiders, so nothing lethal fortunately. They're puffy and white ("like cotton" says the friend that I no longer trust lol) but hard to touch

One thing that seems to work is to change your alarm to a really upbeat song that you like and has something to do with waking up. Mr Blue Sky for instance.

Your Jedi... the pain of waking up only gets worse, then one day you realize, it's the best you'll feel all day which is both good and bad. Rest, sleep, exercise, and bust your but or cherry every so often for that idgaf sleep.

I started making sure I got 20 minutes of sunlight directly on my face right when I get up. It takes a couple days, but after a few days of waking up and sitting in my living room in a ray of sunshine, I started getting up earlier and happier.

You figure that a stranger would be more likely to relate with you or judge your character when sharing disparaging thoughts on people they don’t know? By all means, do what you feel you must, it’s no consequence to me.

I make decent money but still spend like I did when I was making 45-50K a year.

I was able to cover my expenses then and still live pretty comfortably. Stuff could be a bit tight, but never to the point where I had concern about not being able to do/buy something I wanted/needed.

To this, I also believe making more money does not mean you should spend more money. I will drive a nice Toyota RAV4 rather than having a BMW SUV.

I will buy a $300,000 house rather than a $700,000 house.

I won’t eat out any more often than I do (which I rarely do anyway).

I will comfortably buy wants and treat myself slightly more often, but otherwise I’m all about saving.

$5 a day is $1,800 a year. Not buying a coffee/snack every day literally allows me to go on a vacation and possibly still not spend as much as buying a $5 drink/snack every day lol.
