    Oh, shut up, I’m 42 and I can ruin my week just like that!
    One night a week is free: go to bed at 5 am, get up at 8, go to work, big smile. I don’t really stop at that, so this is where it gets bad, but I would say it wasn’t much better when I was playing WoW in my 20s

      I’m in my 40s playing WoW forever and I would stay up all night but force myself to go to bed because my wife would give me shit. But being tired just isn’t a factor when you’re having a good time

    It’s not physical for me, it’s mentally. One hour and the guilt and depression set in. I don’t like wasting my time anymore.

    Can’t do it anymore. My body fails just missing one night’s sleep. Next day I’m practically a zombie with jet lag. Not worth it anymore.

    I literally thought I was going to die… I got absorbed into a project and was up until 6am, figured I’d give myself like 3 hours to nap and not waste the day and I swear i was having panic attacks all day, my brain and heart were losing it… Never again

    Late 30s with insomnia here: all nighters I’ve got down pat.

    But, boss, I do infact be tired as fuck.

    Hard disagree. I’ve done 20-24 hour shifts at my job in my 30s, when in my younger days, more than 10 hours was really pushing it.

    I noped out of watching a minor league baseball game with a 6pm start because the thought of driving an hour home after 9pm had me fearing for the other drivers on the road.
