I do overnight caregiving and I can’t eat dinner until my client goes to bed because, honestly my food is way more exciting than his and I don’t want him to be sad. So that means I end up eating dinner around 9:30 PM in bed. It’s not great.

As someone who’s be dead without caregivers. Just wanna say I really appreciate the kind of work you do.

I remember when I used to watch the clock, afraid of sunrise because I wouldn’t be able to fall asleep once it appeared and I wasn’t ready to go to bed. My how the times have changed.

I used to hate the sun
because it shined on everything I'd done
It made me feel
that all I have done
is overflow the ashtray of my life

Yoooo. Those were the best days.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Definitely my most creative, if unskilled. If I could take what I know now and have that energy, ooh, that'd be nice.

You gotta keep 'em separated. Give yourself time to digest before you go to bed.

Aka tooth brushing time.

I need to get on this train. For me, dinner is at like 8-9PM and bedtime is 12-1AM… I’m 40. I’ve always been like this but I think it’s getting less and less sustainable.

5-7AM on weekdays, depending on if I need to go into the office or not. 10-2 on weekends, depending on how long I can sleep!

Yeah, sounds like sustainability is going to be an issue. I definitely could not do that with any regularity, now.

Don't be afraid, fellow senior! Old age has its benefits.

I'm sure the benefits will kick in any time now. Any time...

for real. i eat when i am hungry, sleep when I am tired. Probably age (46) and my apnea making me crave real sleep with my mask.

sometimes it’s chilly and rainy and “bed” is 7pm.

Most of those 10% early-bird discounts kick in at 65. Something to look forward to!

No, in their 20s.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago

Wouldja look at that. It’s 4pm. Time to start getting ready.

If your dinnertime isn't before 5 then you just procrastinating

[–] feannag 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Uh, or you're still cooking after getting back from work?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

That's only because you procrastinated leaving work

I'm on vacation in Spain right now. Dinner was from 22:00 to 23:00 in a local restaurant. Then we went for coffee and icecream because my 3 year old wanted some icecream. We just got back home around midnight. Just in time for bed 😄

Most restaurants don't even open before 21:00 here and it's very common to see little kids out and about with their parents.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 1 week ago

Take into account that Spain is in the "wrong" timezone.

Correcting for this, dinner was from 21:00 to 22:00. You got home around 23:00, most restaurants don't open before 20:00.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

Same. I eat at 3am and sleep at 5am.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I don't wanna be up all night shitting

Jfc what are you eating? Laxatives? You’re gonna end up with leopard colon

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

In my case all are dangerously close to each other:
- dinner to bedtime
- breakfast to dinner time
- dinner to breakfast time
- breakfast to bedtime
- bedtime to bedtime

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

I too eat very late
