So apparently it's like, "BEAT STRESS!1!" month at work, in that we're getting this little posters and contests and what to prove how UNSTRESSED you are.

Which is awesome solely because one of their tips is "get 6-8 hours of sleep a night."

And I totally get six hours. Sometimes? I even get six and a half. Beat THAT. All of you people who yell at me for my sleeping habits can yell no more! I am within what I require to beat stress! \o/

Sob, can you tell I'm incredibly scatterbrained and flighty today, and am having trouble focusing on. ... anything, really ...



CFUD goes here.

i am reading this and snickering.

mostly because i could have written this post.

except if i did it would be lies.

[nekokoban]

SIX HOURS, SIX HOURS IS EASY! I TOTALLY GET SIX HOURS. 8D

Ashessssssssssssssssssss where did my focus gooooooooooooooooooooooooo. ;o;

[rui]

y-yeah i am closer to averaging five \o/

SLEEP IS FOR OTHER PEOPLE. BECAUSE MY BODY SAYS I'M NOT ALLOWED TO HAVE ANY. S-SOB.

it wandered away with mine ._. come baaaaaaaaaaaaaack focus come baaaaaaaaaack we neeeeeeeeed youuuuuuu.

[nekokoban]

FIVE IS ALSO OKAY! Five means that maybe you are stressing but it's only one away from six and it is totally still doable amirite. SLEEP IS FOR THE WEAK and I am weak, but I am also working on evolving into a higher being that doesn't need it, DON'T GIVE IN.

sob it's just. I open things to look at them and work on them! And then I'm like "oh, I like the lyrics for this song" and then the song's over and I've made no progress at all. :(

[bookoverflowers]

I WISH FIVE WAS ENOUGH. i-it really isn't although i'm pretty used to it now. stupid body. it's all 'mwahahahaha we can only sleep a few hours at a time!!!!!' and then 'baaaawwwwwwww tiiiiiiiired'. sigh.

...yes. this. our brains have obviously gone on the same vacation. without us. D:

[black-hayate.livejournal.com]

Why do I need 10 hours then D:

[nekokoban]

Obviously, your body wants you to be stressed! Or something! See, it's a conspiracy and now you've discovered it! o/

I suppose taking six one-hour naps over the course of an afternoon/evening isn't really what they had in mind? Hmph.

Sympathies for the scatterbrained-ness! I seem to be permanently stuck in that mode myself. :|

[nekokoban]

You know, I'm not sure! IT MIGHT. ... I don't think I'm going to test it, though, naps always make me feel groggy.

It's still like half an hour to lunch. ;; Why am I so unable to pay attention to anything.

...socute.

Although, if you could manage seven...

[nekokoban]

--WHAT IS CUTE ABOUT THIS?!

I tried that when I was on vacation. I CAN MANAGE SEVEN IF I AM EXHAUSTED? Or actually, if I don't have to get up, I will fall asleep again for lack of anything else to do. Ahahahahahaha.

[sleepfighter.livejournal.com]

It. It just is. Okay.

AHAHAH oh god I miss the ability to fall back asleep again. I seem to have mostly lost it when I was twenty. It's the one thing I miss about being a teenager.

[nekokoban]

I both deny and defy this. BOTH, do you hear!

The thing is, I can only seem to do that when it's morning and I've already had six or whatever hours of sleep. If, like, someone wakes me in the middle of the night -- which has unfortunately happened -- I turning into a raving bitchmonster and then can't sleep, and it makes me cry inside. :(

[katmaxwell.livejournal.com]

... but if I get six hours a night for an entire week by day seven I'm falling asleep in my lunch. :(

[nekokoban]

Obviously, you haven't yet obtained my level of zen.

It's okay, you can learn!

[irishninja.livejournal.com]

So when we don't get 6-8 hours a night does that mean we should stress out about not getting enough sleep, or are we okay with our normal level of stress for the day that will only seem compounded by us not getting enough sleep?

Also, yeah, the "you need to de-stress" push is kinda weird. Three emails in two days, wut?

[nekokoban]

I, I have no idea! It's just that the poster over the cooler is all SIX TO EIGHT HOURS CAN HELP DEFEAT STRESS! and I was like SWEET I AM ALREADY THERE \o/

I'm honestly not sure what it's about! It's like, in some ironic way, they want us to stress about not-stressing ... ?

[irishninja.livejournal.com]

Ha ha! OMG, I'm not stressing out enough at work!!! *stress*

I should make sure Shadawyn sees this post. I think stressing out is one of her hobbies... ;P

[shadawyn.livejournal.com]

:P

[woodburner.livejournal.com]

I uh usually seem to need 9 or 10 hours so... ._.a

[nekokoban]

Someday, you will be as zen as me.

Someday.

:)

Have you looked at the little stress-beating log we're supposed to fill out? The least they could do is include useful things other than "listen to our damned stupid little audio files"...

[nekokoban]

I've skimmed them, but ... [handwave] I dunno, it all seems very silly to me, cough cough.

[kadekmoment.livejournal.com]

. . . I think I got eleven hours between last night's crasshhhhh and a three-hour nap today, and I'm still cranky/tired.

o-orz

[nekokoban]

Someday, grasshopper, you will be zen and need only six hours.

Someday.

... until then, get more rest, it's good for your health. :(

[vianusmiho.livejournal.com]

. . .six hours.
