Tired still - SLRPNK

7 hours

One of my college roommates only needed six hours.

Jokes on him, he got to hear me hit the snooze for an hour every day.

I practically ran on 2-4 hours from 16-30.

I have a lot to show for it, but I should have stopped after 30.

Is one of the things you have to show for it premature aging?

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.
