I regularly get by on 5-6.5 hrs. I could do with more, but I'm functional. Weekends I tend to sleep more. I just can't make myself go to bed at a reasonable hour and I just wake up early. I can easily fall back to sleep, but only if I plan to be later to work than I'd like. So I get up.

6 hours is about average for me I'd say. It's when that six is broken up with wake ups that I get really testy.

I've been doing 5-6 hours a night pretty consistently since the Spring, with more nights than I'd like to think about that are closer to 4 hours. This has been pretty much 7 days a week.

My body hates me. I wake up after five hours I sleep on a good night. So going to bed early doesn't guarantee extra sleep. I just wake up at two am. And then get sleepy again an hour before I should be up.

ND, your boss may pay you well, but he has unreasonable expectations as to the workload you can handle.

It's the little guy's first convention.

Woohoo!

I've had two nights of around seven hours of uninterrupted sleep in a row this week and it seems like a frigging miracle. I need at least seven hours of sleep, but I've been getting usually about 5-6, and rarely without waking up at some point for the last few years. It sucks.

Quick question for the hivemind: Tip the furniture delivery guy? What if I've already paid the delivery fee? What if he's the owner? I don't want to hurt his feelings if I should tip but don't, or insult him if I shouldn't tip an owner but do. Help?

So I have this cousin that adores me, and I him. But he basically has no filters and ..stuff ( I'm guessing he's autistic but we've never been told and I don't know he's been diagnosed. The Midwestern denial runs strong in that family.) Anyway, he's on fb and we've had the occasional run in where I've either had to tell him "inappropriate, stop it" or he's taken something I've said completely wrong. Uhg. I'm one of the few cousins who will really engage him because the rest tend to get all offended and off put, where I'm mostly able to negotiate the gap between his communication and intent and call out of bounds when he's being too much. In person, he takes my limit setting pretty well, but on fb, gets all butthurt. Sigh. I'd just block him, but he'd notice and God forbid he mention it to his mom, who is still pretty fragile after losing my uncle and worrying about him. Oh family.

Not sure about the "if he's the owner". I'd probably tip $20 if he's not. Unless it was like, a super easy "hey, I walked this chair three steps into your house", vs "I maneuvered a couch up two flights of stairs"?
