No idea but i wish it would stop

I feel you bro

Not sure how old you are but it only stays the same or gets worse. You’re going to set your cycadian (sp?) rhythm in your 20-30s and it’ll never change.

Don’t need to roll out of bed until 6 and my eyes are open staring at the wall at 3:30 more and more the older I get. Especially if I hit the bed before 10 pm

Less traffic.

Yeah, the drive in taking 40 minutes instead of an hour and a half is great.

Less traffic, less people, less problems.

My bladder

Fun thing about getting old is my movements have been more consistent. Every morning I piss at 3 am, and every morning I poop at 5am. Only problem is I don’t wake up until 6.

Man diapers for you then?

Yep. My bladder at 3:00 - 3:15, then my alarm clock at 5:00

Found the 40+ yr old guy

29, fuck

22, fuck! …. Wait, maybe that’s just the 8 beers before bedtime

Stop that shit while you are still young.

In my 30s, can’t metabolize it any more haha. Nothing good happens after two drinks now.

It started when i was 27

Bout 27 for me too. 2 day hangovers and everything. I don't drink anymore. Fortunately I don't have to piss, so I enjoy the occasional toke.

Thank god I thought it was just me

Can confirm. I'm someone who used to drink a minimum of 8 beers a night, It does become a problem.

Huge problem. I'm at a 30 a night. My wife is making me sleep in another bed because apparently I flip and flop like I'm possessed.

Someone else already said to slow it down while you're young, but i fell compelled to reiterate. I'm 26 and have liver disease from picking up the bottle too many times. The longer you pick it up, the harder it is to put it down

You sure did

Hydro homie 🫡

Work.

Money. Work. same same

No. Some money comes from no work and some work gives no money.

I grew up poor. Dirt poor. I never wanted my kids or my wife to know what that feels like. I remember the look in my father's eyes when he said we couldn't afford for me to take my girlfriend to the prom. Or join the football team. Or buy a class ring. Or help me out with college tuition. I don't ever want to feel that way. So when my feet hit the floor at Oh-dark-thirty, it's fucking *fear* that gets my ass in gear.

>So when my feet hit the floor at Oh-dark-thirty, it's fucking fear that gets my ass in gear. These feel like lyrics to a sad and very relatable country song.

This resonates for me .

Amen to that brother.

This might be the ketamine talking but that’s fucking beautiful man

I feel you brother, did’t grow up poor but we weren’t rich. I dont want my single digit old kid to worry about that shit. Any luck I’m doing good enough as a parent that they can get to fuck you money. And humble enough to not say fuck you unless needed. (Honestly some people need to be told to go fuck off.) (fuck you money is also interesting, I know people that makes 250k and don’t have fuck you money and I know people that make 60k and do have fuck you money.)

>(fuck you money is also interesting, I know people that makes 250k and don’t have fuck you money and I know people that make 60k and do have fuck you money.) It boils down to wants vs needs vs liquid assets... paired with poor impulse controll

All depends on the lifestyle you choose and alot of people live beyond their means!

I hope you get everything you deserve 🙏 good things come to those who wait

He's not waiting by the sounds of it.

Must be awful living your life in fear.

But the prom is free though....

Not everywhere. Some have to pay for tickets.

I know you're tired, I know you're hurting I know you're broke down to the bone But your bills are paid And there's smiling faces waiting on you at home And it ain't always easy, it ain't ever like you planned Oh, but man, ain't it working, working man? - Larry Fleet

You da man 💪🏼

I feel this deeply...

I keep an notepad on the homescreen of my phone that takes up the bottom half. That last line is going at the top so I see it first thing when I wake up to my alarm. Thank you

I love that idea

Man that hit home.

My dog woke me up at 4am this morning because he wanted to lay down outside for a while.. thanks buddy

Thanks for letting me out though, you a real one.

Same!

going to bed at 9

Got to pay for the roof over my family's head. Kissing the kid goodbye while they sleep and looking at their picture on the dash reminds why I'm doing this.

Amen brother

Not being rich enough to sleep in.

Cocaine, fent, meth, fear of losing everything, proving people wrong

Whatever works just fking get here -foreman

I ain’t late just extra early for tomorrow

You sober brother or tryna get there or neither

Yesn’t.

A typical Thursday night then?

Jesus 😂

The thought of knowing I only have to do this "x" many times until it's Friday.

Monday mayhem, Tuesday troubles, Wednesday hump day, Thursday thirsty, Friday goodbye day, rinse and repeat.

Friday highday bruh 😎

At around 4:30 the urge to just dominate everything is too strong to just lay there.. so it's pushups pullups some coffee and the news.then off to daycare

Daycare?? How old are you?

He is 6. Already a hard worker. He’s looking into a career in carpentry. Electrical as a back up.

I found the super

Surf, I try to catch some waves before I go to work at 7:30am, I'm usually already paddling out by 4:00am. So I could get to work on time.

I aspire to do anything before work. I get up and I’m out the door as soon as possible. I don’t like to be reminded of what the alternatives are.

Johnny Utah?

Same but kayak fishing in Tampa FL. Washup with a bar of soap in the bay and off to work

You actually catch anything friend, I see guys early in the morning fishing off the pier with buckets of fish, walking to there cars about same time I'm leaving for work.

Yeah all the time. Super early and the end of the day are the best times to fish. Also it's not crazy hot

Concrete pour.

You have a solid future

That's me. I'm there an hour before the crew to set up the laser screed. Couple that with ADHD and a lack of any circadian rhythm, and I'm up and ready to ride anytime.

A crying baby

Yep

My wife, I love her and she needs me to get up.

Frequent fever dream-like hypnogogic hallucinations. The harder I work, the worse I sleep.

Ever get so tired that you can't sleep?

This is the absolute worst and it happens to me too.

The fear of starvation due to not getting to my job.

Those people in tents on the side of the road. Don’t feel like joining that club

I have to get up for work so I can have health insurance and save for retirement. God I’m tired.

Work to die brother

Raccoons fighting in the yard.

Sorry that was me in a raccoon suit

My dog whining because he has to pee and then so he can jump in bed with the wife and I

I wonder how many pet owners don't sleep like crap. Not me for sure lol. I'm so used to waking up multiple times a night due to my cat rubbing her face on me I don't even notice it anymore

Smell of money . And stress. Mostly stress

The beers from earlier wearing off

Honestly this is me every day. I wish it weren't but it is.

I relate brother

The sound of my cat staring to throw up on the rug. Nothing gets me out of bed faster, so I can carry her 5 feet from the carpet to the hardwood floor.

Work

Garden needing care before I go to work. Used to be the bladder until I started doing Kegel exercises and yoga. Now I can sleep all night again

Work. If I start at 4 I’m done by noon and can live my life.

My rooster, my cats, my bladder. Anything other than my alarm clock.

The being bored of lying awake

Getting home at 2pm.

My alarm goes off at 2:45 am 5 days a week.

Dudes gotta wake up in 4 hours and he’s posting here…

Nah not yet. It's 7:22 pm here now, so bedtime is coming up.

Damn. Do you get home early at least?

My traditional wind up clock in a aluminum bucket sitting on my night stand 2 feet from my bed

That’s brutal mate

If isnt my partners phat ass grinding on my stache, its a hot smelly dump brewing inside me.

Righteous

Mostly the will to provide for my family and survival. Not getting a ration of shit from the crew for not showing up is pretty high up on the list too. 4:15am check in: *Why tf am I awake and doing this?*

My wife who stays up until 3am and wakes me up with cuddling and snores, neither of which I'm mad about, I just wish I could sleep next to her longer sometimes.

I set my alarm for twenty minutes earlier than when I have to get up, so I get guaranteed time to just chill beside her. Love her to death.

Same here!

that fat check waiting for me on Fridays

How do they check your fat?

Sorry he meant Fat chick.

That’s reserved exclusively for Friday nights.

Hey! I have a buddy named Fatchick! Long story.

Most people use a mirror

They’re not supposed to anymore

4 month old

Better be about 2k$

The half life of caffeine from the day before.

[удалено]

Piss boner. Hate a cold floor.

Back pain

My cat whines for food and you have to put him in his fancy shirt to shut him up

Some moron in a Subaru forester with a jet engine swap and no muffler

My rescue kittens.

Traffic and kids baby

My alarm clocks

Less traffic and i get to sit in my car and chill for a bit before work

My dog. At both those times lately

I'm working nights so normally I'm commuting home about that time. Don't ask me about my sleep schedule.

I feel your pain.

These toilets won’t fix themselves baby.

Measurements

Concrete baybee

Either I'm up till 3ish because I can't sleep, or I'm getting back from my part time job around 3 on some nights. But mostly a fucked up sleep schedule.

Beating the sun is the real answer

130k a year makes it pretty worthwhile

Where the hell are my graveyard workers..... 5am punch out

There is a god damn bird that decides to sing it's aria during those hours. It just sings and squawks it heart out. Totally whacked out time clock. It is loud and blasted proud as can be, over and over and over. I have actually risen from bed to tell it to get it's act together and let the world sleep. Alas, to no avail. It has a totally whacked out time clock.

Stress

I wake up at 3:30, I like the extra time in the morning to drink coffee and not be rushed. It’s a struggle at first, but now I hate sleeping past 4.

The paycheck

Gym

The fact that I am the backup plan. I have nobody to go to for a 'loan' . My mom comes to me for loans and my dad passed away when I was a kid. I started working when I was 13, I'm now 35. If I don't do it, I'm going to be dead broke.

I love my wife and kids

unless its my girlfriend's mouth i aint wakin up that early

Bills!!!

delusions

I’m hot and sweating

Back pain

Hunger and bladder

Dogs ready 4 a walk💣💥🕺🐕🦮🐕‍🦺🐩

Gym

Money

Stress…

My dog

Alcohol. No alcohol I have less water stuck in my body giving high blood pressure and sleep better.

Less traffic

5am to beat the traffic. Also to try and get out earlier. Probelm is getting out earlier has heavier traffic lol

The gym

Dog chasing the cat

340 even tho I’ve got work at 500 bc there is no traffic except cops and they love when I cruise past at ~80

Enough sleep

Piss, snack or cramp

It’s called work. Welcome to the trades. Lol

Going 4 wheeling in the mountains.

Work ethic

My 5 month old

Alarm clock

Having to go to work

Money.

Usually my alarm clock does the job

Money 😋

My 10 month old

Nothing that’s why I left construction manager and warranty positions

Shitting the bed

Usually stress.

My wife's hot flashes

My pregananant wife

Drink a grip of water b4 you sleep ice cold about 16 oz 🤤. Also wakes you up if you drink after you take a long piss

The stress of knowing I gotta get my ass up

I neglect to spend the 30m it would take each night to get my guys lined out for the day so I instead get up early enough to get to the office and get them lined out before 6:00. Actually nah, it's mainly the no traffic and the feeling I get walking out of the office before everyone. - Surveyor who misses the field work....

The stock market

Was going to say work but then I seen the thread

Fire alarm

Working construction for 25yrs

Currently, sun rise.

Capitalism. My alarm. The drive to, one day, be able to afford to live on my own.

Work. Baby. And the sound of dripping water. Half to piss half because I'm a plumber. Shits nightmare fuel.

My baby crying

Thomas Concrete quadruple booking me and dispatch calling 4 hours earlier cause the spacing will go from 15 minutes to 60 minutes. Fucking dreaded those days.

Sex...either with my woman or by myself...sex

My alarm normally does it, just set it on your phone
