No, I'm willing to bet you have plenty of energy. Society has simply deemed that all of it must be spent on being productive for the sake of everyone except yourself.

Agree to disagree, I likely have a sleep disorder, so I haven't had a good night's sleep in nearly 10 years! Check, and, mate! Fuck I hate my life.....

Disagree. I used to spend time on more energy-intensive hobbies like programming and music production. But I've had mono and COVID in 2020 and I've never felt the same thereafter. Also working 40 hours a week drains a lot of energy

“Also working 40 hours a week drains a lot of energy”

Hence the first comment. What if you only had to work 20 hours a week? You’d have the energy then.

True. Guess I misread. I've already switched to 36 hours and I totally aim to go lower once I earn more. Work to live, not live to work
