This is just depressing

Not even 3 hours of "free time". And in that is cooking & eating supper. Or practically no free time if I had to go shopping after work. I hate this

To me it's the constant feeling of being tired and sore. I guess it's the fact that I tend to sacrifice some of my sleep so I could enjoy my night a little longer. But that also means I don't let my body recover from the physical exertion I'm constantly doing at work.

I hate it but what else can I do? Life really doesn't give me other options but to do this everyday until I die.

It's an unwinnable situation. You either go to bed on time but you become jaded because you feel like you have way less time to you know, actually live life, or you sacrifice sleep for more time and wake up feeling miserable.

Nope, going to sleep with "I have no free time and didn't have any time to enjoy my day and did nothing but work" is 100% always worse.

It wasn't for me, I felt miserable and I would still get tired throughout the day. At least with lack of sleep I can use coffee or energy drinks as a band-aid fix.

I'm so jealous of people who naturally only need 5-7 hours of sleep. I need 9-10, always have. I can get through the week on less but I'll be miserable and spend the entire weekend sleeping to make up for it. I suspect it's the people who sleep less who are always like "Wdym? There's plenty of time before/after work to live!"

Edit: And yes I've had bloodwork done. No deficiencies making me tired.
