I constantly see articles like this about people not getting enough sleep


I sleep about 6 hours a night (just what the article above says is so bad) and don't think I can sleep any more than that. I haven't used an alarm for years. I go to bed when I sleepy and wake up when I'm done sleeping and it always totals about 6 hours. I go to bed about 11-11:30 and get up at 5-5:30. If I go to bed at 10, I wake up at 4. Weekends or holidays make no difference, it's 6 hours on those days too. I've tried to go back to sleep after 6 hours and can't do it. I just don't think I'm made for 8 hours of sleep.

Priceless words that matter.

Disney was definitely an interesting dude, I can tell you that Star Wars wouldn't be in the trouble it is in now if he was here.

I'm actually not as much of a loser as I seem. I've had many relationships with men. I lived with a guy for 6 years. Everyone has a past.

I can empathize with Taylor Swift. She has to deal with sexist reporters asking her when she's gonna settle down. One of my coworkers always makes stupid comments about my marital status which, as far as I know, constitutes workplace harassment.

I'm just taking a break right now to focus on my career and maybe go to grad school. Life is a work in progress.

Good for you! And just for the record, in no way should a person's worth ever be measured by whether they are in a relationship. You are who you are on your own merits.

In no way shape or form are you a loser kelliblue, Ms. Mod is spot on in what she says. Ask that person in your job if someone kept endlessly commenting on one of their kids marital or relationship status would they find it acceptable? Probably not.
