The hours in my day are jacked up, and I have no family around. I can't even imagine trying to be there for them and here for me as well as earn a living.
Zoe: First rule of battle, little one. Don't ever let 'em know where you are. Mal: Whoo-hoo! I'm right here! I'm right here! You want some of me? Yeah, you do! Come on! Come on! Aaah! Whoo-hoo! Zoe: Of course, there are other schools of thought...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Drop to two or three times, and get some in on the weekend.
Weekend are ironically tougher than weekdays due to the lack of schedule. But I've though of getting up early on weekend days as well to get in exercise. My goal is five days of exercise a week so that would give me two spare mornings. I tend to skip a weekday a week as it is, because I'm too tired to get up. I want to do better than four days a week because my dad isn't having a lot of health problems and think I'll go the same way unless I have good health habits.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
This is why I KNOW I am an introvert, despite all my cow-orkers protests-- I need like 5 hours of self time a day! And, like, a whole weekend day.
Totally. And I definitely don't do a half hour of cleaning my house a day, and all I do is come home from work!
That's awesome about The Scream.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
This is why I KNOW I am an introvert, despite all my cow-orkers protests-- I need like 5 hours of self time a day! And, like, a whole weekend day. I think if I had an SO around and we were both doing things quietly or talking a bit, that would be OK. Maybe.
This is me as well. Not quite so much each day, but yeah. Thankfully my girlfriend understands and is willing to be accomodating when I tell her I need a weekend day to decompress from time to time. She'd rather have less time with me than have me be cranky due to oversocialization.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Fair point. But not all health problems are physical.

Damn Laura, you make my day seem restful.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I wish my exBF had understood this when I tried to explain it to him, but he didn't. And, now he's an ex, so it don't even matter no more!

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
I can't remember the last time I had 8 hours of sleep (as opposed to being in bed for 8 or more hours - I don't count lazing about or visits from the insomnia fairy). I seem to only need about 4-6 to get through the day without feeling droopy. Sometimes, if I've slept longer than 5 or so hours, I feel more sleep-deprived than if I've barely slept at all, but I suspect that's due to the quality of the sleep I had, not the length.
Which I guess means I'm asking Gud if he feels sleep deprived, as opposed to just figuring he is by the amount (or lack thereof) that he gets.

Gud, I know this is weird coming from me, but three times a week should be just fine. I do more because I realy like it, because I'm stupid, and because I have the time.
If you can drop down without feeling physically twitchy (addicted to exercise? oh, the idea) I doubt your health will suffer significantly.
