Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

I used to make time for gaming with my friends every day by sacrificing my sleep. I only realized how much it messed with my health once I started getting a full 8 hours of sleep. Now I mostly play during the weekends.
9 hours of sleep gang. Blows my mind people can feel ok with less than 8 (or do they just not know???)
People are not equal with sleep.
Some people don't need as much sleep as others.
I'm perfect with 7h.
Try getting old. I used to want 9 or so. These days, I seem to just wake up after about 7 hours. I don't really use an alarm anymore. I just get up when I am awake and know that getting back to sleep isn't going to happen. Even nights after a good workout, I pop awake after about 6 1/2 to 7 hours. Never used to be this way. But, I just seem to need less these days.
How? I have a hard time getting above 8 hours unless I physically and mentally exhaust myself
Don't force it, but sleep schedules
i need just around 6 hours to feel ok and last till 12 pm
