Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

[CleverNickName]

I have a good-paying job in a nice city, I am married to a hot spouse who treats me good, I have beer on tap in my kitchen, and I play D&D every Friday night with my friends.

Thirteen-year old Me is high-fiving me so hard right now.

Nope. I bounce up as easily on 4 hours of sleep as I do on 8 or 9. I just get up and go. Now if I am on 4 hours of sleep, I'll start lagging in a few hours since I didn't get enough sleep, but I'm generally not groggy or slow in the morning when I first wake up.

My body needs about 8-9 hours. I usually get roughly 7 (which isn't too bad). On nights where I get 6 or less, I definitely feel it.

I tell myself I'm 13, and while it's true (emotionally), my body and brain constantly show up the lie...

They say you're only young once; but immaturity is forever.

Synonyms are weird because if you invite someone to your cottage in the forest it sounds nice and cozy, but if I invite you to my cabin in the woods then you're going to die.

I usually try to get 8. My daughter always gets up promptly at 8AM, which isn't a problem when I've had my 8 hours, but can be really problematic when I've only had 3 or 4 by then. 24-year-old me thought nothing of running a freakin' marathon with 3 or 4, but 56-year-old me has trouble remembering where I put my pants with only 3 or 4...

"Youth is wasted on the young."
—not sure who said it first, but I last heard it from Auntie Ursa Bonechewer, the age-stealing hag

Most nights pretty good but in really copious binge drinking nights I feel like I need 16 hours.

You know the random things my brain does due to the number of odd things i've researched/been interested in some times worries me....It's a good thing i'm lazy and have adhd along with the 'tism

Every once in a while, I'll have some random thought that just comes out of nowhere and scares the hell out of me, and I have to stop and go, "WTF?"...

My brain is twisty and full of spiders.

There's a huge difference between "forgive me father, for I have sinned" and "sorry daddy, I've been naughty."

Or "having a dad bod" versus "having a father figure."

I'm mostly a 7 hours a night guy and have trouble sleeping more (unless truly exhausted due to unusual exertion or system disrupted by sickness or substances), but lately my body seems to want more.

I went through a period in my 30s when I was subsisting on 4-5 a lot of nights in a high stress job (and on call on a cell phone for emergencies), and I know that took a toll on me.
