I feel fatigued all the time. I sleep a lot and will wake up exactly 1 minute before standard working hours begin.
It doesn't seem like there's any time. The second I finish work there's a black hole of making dinner, cleaning, doing a few chores, and then falling into bed.
But holy crap did I feel exactly this when working at bigtech. 1-2hr commute plus long days and short weekends it can all blur together so quickly. Winter especially was the worst when it was dark out long before I left the office.
On the sleeping note - have you been tested for sleep apnea before? I'm young, slim and healthy but felt exactly that way (sleep 12+ hrs on nicest bed I could find, humidifier and air purifier and all, but still not feel rested & needing to go to my car during work to take a nap..). Low and behold I tested positive for sleep apnea, and I've heard CPAPs can be night and day for many with it.
I even bought a shirt about it to have a memory of this time, a Nine Inch Nails shirt that just repeats the lyric “every day is exactly the same” over and over.
Anyway, what you’re feeling is normal. It’s not a good feeling, but you’re not feeling it alone.
I am curious about how you browse HN? I only see one additional comment besides yours.
