    I’m currently not working, not even job searching, just… taking December off it all. So naturally I’m allowing myself to sleep in as much as I want. I’m finding myself falling asleep around 1:30am and sleeping through to 11am, only waking due to the crushing guilt of ‘wasting the day’. I could probably go for another 2 hours or more. It’s all making me realize that humanity is doing the human condition dirty - we should sleep as much as we need to sleep, not be forced to grind at some mediocre task for 8 hours after under-sleeping.

      In my experience, the feeling of not having slept enough doesn’t vanish, no matter how long you sleep. Personal hypothesis: When you wake up, the sleeping hormones are still present in your body and make you not want to get up, whether you still need to sleep or not.
