If you want to escape this loop, you need a strong rule against any screens in , at minimum, your bed, but ideally the entire bedroom.

This way the only association your brain has to your bed is sleeping, making it much easier to just sleep when you get into bed.

Music / podcasts / audiobooks are also highly unadvisable.

Sleep schedule is probably what you want fixed, there are a multitude of things to aid, in addition to the aforementioned it is also vital to have sleep hygiene if you have problems with sleep.

Sleep hygiene is a lot of things, but the main things:

• The bedroom and, most crucially, your bed is for sleeping, if you have a habit of scrolling or watching videos etc in your bed, it will be a lot harder for your brain to be like “well, im in bed now, guess ill sleep”.
• Destimulation period before bed, 30-60 minutes before bed get rid of stimulating activity. Some light reading could be okay, better would be meditation, some conversation, a slow walk.
• Sleep environment - blackout curtains, low noise or white noise (substitute sounds could be wind, rain, ocean, but not music or generally other sounds)
• Actually rigid schedule, especially for bedtime, but also wake-up time.
• Got into bed at the time but not sleepy? No screens, no reading. Darkness and your mind - meditate, count sheep, fantasise, think up a novel. Personally i love meditating on the actual process of my mind falling asleep.
• Consider short term melatonin to adjust to a sleep schedule or to change a sleep schedule.

Idk about that attitude though, maybe I am lucky but I have been just a few steps above homelessness before and I still don’t consider life particularly hard, in fact for the most part I would call it fairly easy.

A bike is faster in my city if you are decently fast, but a bus or trolley is faster than cars during rush hours, because we have public transit lanes, so while everyone in their tin cans is stressed yelling at the dumbass who just cut them off im breezing past, listening to a podcast, meditating or catching a quick ten minute nap before work.

Yea, I point to diabetes primarily because unchecked it is probably the most debilitating cause.

If you raised the issue, hopefully they considered it, but they can’t see it on a routine visit. The two main ways we check for it would be:

• an Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT), where you get serial blood sugar measurements for two hours - before and after drinking a specific amount of glucose on an empty stomach in the morning.

• A blood test called HbA1c which correlates to your average blood sugar over the last 3 months.

It could be, for sure, but nevertheless should be checked out. The meme specifically says 4AM, if you wake up dry in rhe morning its less worrisome, waking up at night to drink is more concerning.

If this happens often, get yourself checked out for diabetes.

Waking up at night to drink or pee are one of the most common symptoms.

Because, Id wager, their userbase is primarily edgy leftist teenagers, really kind of like if 4chan was left and not right.

World preemptively defederated them, which made a lot of people happy and is generally regarded as a good move

Point to headphones, pretend I didn’t hear, shuffle away awkwardly.

By PS i meant print screen, fuck adobe

Or, yknow, just share -> save, faster than PS and crop.
