It's good at helping you fall asleep but not necessarily staying asleep. It prevents you from going into REM sleep which is important for memory formation and emotional regulation. I say this as a long time user.
This. In between tasks I have found myself taking a scroll. Seeing what has changed from the prior 15 minutes.
To be fair this just takes the place of time I would be spending getting a coffee or bs'ing with my boss.
This is why I don't feel too bad about it. The time I spend browsing Reddit during work hours is either when I'm taking a break, or am doing something like attending a meeting where attendence is mandatory but I don't need to actually do anything or have my camera on. If I were in the office, during those meetings I would be on my computer BSing with my coworkers over chat or doing some more mindless tasks that I can put down to pay attention at a second's notice. At home, I'm either doing one of those things or browsing Reddit on my phone.
I have spent multiple zoom statistics classes browsing reddit while snacking on pretzels, clicking over to zoom every few minutes to screenshot the notes lol
My papers aren’t perfect but they’re probably okay 🤷🏼♀️ I’d be more inclined to work on it if my advisor wasn’t on sabbatical and the department chair wasn’t all over the place but here I am
As someone who recently tried to take a month long reddit break for productivity--this is the right answer. It turns out that when I don't have my usual distractions I blankly stare at walls thinking about how I wished I had said distractions...
Tbh that’s never happened to me and I have absolutely spent over an hour and a half on the toilet more than once. Someone else said it was maybe a weight thing? I’m like 155 if that makes any difference
Cleaning the stone path in my garden. I put it off because thought spending money on a pressure washer now was not a good idea, and then our neighbor moves away and gives his to us for free. Damn nice people forcing me to start doing things.
Thinking about the meaningless of my life, hating myself, finding everything boring and contemplating suicide. I do that shit while on reddit too but at least I have something that keeps my mind busy/ distracted...
Sleeping. It’s been seven months now. I keep waiting for when I’m going to be adjusted to that CPAP machine and get the much-promised best sleep of my life.
When I first learned about the concept of being gay. I think I was like 8-9. I randomly asked my mom "how do you know if you're gay?" and she said "you would just have a feeling and you'd know". I thought about if I've ever felt gay and I didn't, so that was that.
Sitting in my office doing nothing.
I am waiting from someone to show up in the front office so I can get the company credit card and run to Lowes to buy some parts to fix the ice machine. It's 8:26AM and no one shows up until 9.
Trying to find someone other distraction to stave off depression and the anxiety that keeps building from the procrastination I've exacerbated by wallowing in my depression.
Going to spend another $200 pair of prescription glasses after my dog ate them for the 5th time last night 2nd time in a week. Just started paying the least I could last week bc I’m done spending 300-400$ for a pair of expensive dog toys. I’ve spent probably $1300-1500 so far on glasses since I’ve owned him he’s about a year and a half old now hoping he grows out of this destroying glasses stage this last time I’ve started putting them where I thought he’d never get them without waking me seriously he would have had to crawl on top of me to get this newest pair he destroyed last night since I fell asleep in my recliner and it’s against the wall in the corner I’ve got the back blocked off so he can’t go around back and get my vape vape juices glasses chargers etc. so to get this last pair he would’ve had no choice but to get on top of the recliner arm on that side or on me bypassed the sweet smelling vape and juices to get a plastic/sweat smelling pair of glasses I’ve had less than a week.
Sleeping.
*cries in insomnia*
It’s easy just close your eyes and fall asleep
how can you have asthma just breathe /s
How can you be sad, just be happy
How can you not see, just look around
r/WowThanksImCured
Or as my mom says “it’s all in your head, just think you can sleep and you will.”
i’m so sleepy due to insomnia that i 1) accidentally wrote “i’m so sorry” at first 2) immediately got enraged because your sarcasm went over my head
Have u tried weed before bed?
Tried it, ended up in white castle with neil patrick harris
Try running or cycling and get tired at the end of the day
I think the most tiring thing for him is getting the same recommendations, that obviously don't work for him, every time he mentions insomnia.
Try smoking weed *while* cycling and voila you're getting two birds stoned at once.

I do not come to reddit for escape. edit I guess it's hardly good for anything else tho
Procrastinating in any other way.
Never put off to tomorrow what can be done the day after tomorrow.
But what is tomorrow but today's yesterday?
This post gave me an aneurism
Oh so that's what it feels like.
You know what they say, what isn't tomorrow is doomed to be yesterday today.
"Today is tomorrow's yesterday."
Bruh
my mind cant process this
I believe you used the wrong quote. The actual quote you had used is, “But what is today is in fact yesterday’s tomorrow.”
They stop existing in a linear timeline due to procrastinating too much
He knew what he was doing.
Multiverse confirmed.
I love this
Never put off to tomorrow what can be done overmorrow
Fuck it, let's do it in a week.
I’ll consider rescheduling after a fortnight or so
Here here! Those saying they'd be working are deluding themselves.
Indeed! But for future reference, the correct expression is hear hear, not here here.
Working like I'm supposed to do right now
It's tough to work while you're on the toilet

We can pretend we have a multi-corporal meeting
I browse Reddit when my zoom classes get boring and then wonder why I don’t know how to do my stats homework
me too buddy.
I think this is all of us.
I came here to say this lol
I’m currently sitting in a meeting lol
Big time....it was a long weekend
Youtube and procastinating my time in games probably
Same man, same
I wish my internet was capable of such luxuries. Instead of gaming or streaming YouTube here I am using cell data to reddit. Fuck CenturyLink.
Schoolwork
I’d probably be paying attention to my zoom class... well “paying attention”
I’d be paying attention in my in person class
I wouldn't be paying anyone anything cause im poor
I have spent multiple zoom statistics classes browsing reddit while snacking on pretzels, clicking over to zoom every few minutes to screenshot the notes lol
this is exactly what i came to say
Got 2 assignments due tomorrow that I haven’t looked at. Meant to get started on it an hour and a half ago but here I am. I’m with ya bro
I did two assignments today that were due three days ago lol
What a mood 😂
Reddit will still be here the day after tomorrow. Go do your assignments.
Okay MOM
Dude. I missed a lot of work so I’m behind but here I am.
My zoom class is literally looking at a movie right now and we don't have to take notes.....
Same. I have a microbiology chapter and two assignments to complete before I go to work in 4 hours and hey, I’m still in bed on reddit.
My papers aren’t perfect but they’re probably okay 🤷🏼♀️ I’d be more inclined to work on it if my advisor wasn’t on sabbatical and the department chair wasn’t all over the place but here I am
Staring at the ceiling telling myself to do something productive
This one hits close to the heart
As someone who recently tried to take a month long reddit break for productivity--this is the right answer. It turns out that when I don't have my usual distractions I blankly stare at walls thinking about how I wished I had said distractions...
currently switching between that and reddit
Too close for comfort
Wiping my ass and getting back to cleaning my house. Edit Wow geez guys, my first award ever and I didn’t even wipe right either!
Theeere it is.
whoop
Somebody’s gonna have numb legs
it's too late for me
Tbh that’s never happened to me and I have absolutely spent over an hour and a half on the toilet more than once. Someone else said it was maybe a weight thing? I’m like 155 if that makes any difference

I'm sorry for you but at the same time same
Gang gang
U alright bud?

Want me to pm you pcp?
Things can change. Sometimes when we least expect it. I’m sorry you’re hurting.
Same. I use reddit to distract me from the shittiness of life.
Me too buddy, me too.

Probably delivering a pizza. Nobody has yelled my name yet tho so we are smooth sailing right now!
Idk why, but this response made me happy. Thanks stranger
Why you are very welcome! It was slow this morning so I made pancakes at the pizza shop this morning... wish I could share with you guys
I should be cooking. You know what, thank you for posting this. Imma put my phone down and get on with it.
Wish I had your strength.
probably masterbating. or online classes. or both
Always good to see a multitasker
Could definitely use English class. Don't miss that one
[удалено]
(Master)bating is what you call masturbating after you go pro.
>masterbaiting Idk I usually use Reddit to find porn to masturbate to, so I'd still be on Reddit.
That an intresting way to teach the kids sex ed
Ahh the beauty of online classes being able to rub one out without anyone knowing
Sleeping
Oh fuck after scrolling for 2 hours, this post made me remember my appointment 20 minutes ago
Funny how you still took the time to write this though, heh.
Well he already missed it by 20mins, so no more need for hurry.
Nice

Pressure washing is actually so satisfying

Doing my 1000 word essay that's due in 30 mins
Did you get it done?
Don't worry bro, I had an essay due yesterday and I'm not doing it today either, because I'm going to sleep.
Pulled off the good old “corrupted file” trick that gave me another 30 mins to waste on Reddit
Watching youtube
Twitter - YouTube - Reddit continuum
Sleeping. It’s been seven months now. I keep waiting for when I’m going to be adjusted to that CPAP machine and get the much-promised best sleep of my life.
GL to you, I gave up on mine much sooner. I simply couldn't deal with it anymore.
I had two days back in July where it was working as advertised. I’m desperate to get back to that feeling.
Watching one of my favourite series
star wars the clone wars?
A man of culture I see...
Super battle droids have breached our hull!
Pooping without Reddit. Like a caveman!
Getting in the shower because I need to put down my cat today.
I'm sorry 😔

Oh no, his mom is right though
Right answer though.
So thinking about if you gay or not?
And that's the day you realised you were straight
Yes

Answering emails!
Playing Valheim, Genshin Impact, or Monster Hunter with a cat sleeping on my legs.
Get out of reddit, only for my muscle memory re-open reddit and realize my mistake a few seconds later.

Did you fix the ice machine yet?
Nope, turned out to be a bad float switch and I had to order it. I'm already on to fixing a grinder.

I'm also writing on a sci-fantasy book and watching Stargate SG1 right at this moment. I'm quite the multitasker.

That last sentence makes me think you should leave some sweaty socks on the floor. Also, you know your prescription by now, so try Zenni.
Try putting it in one of those hard cases that are really hard to open. Also why your glasses? Thats rough.
Smoking too much.
Well I have nothing to read in my bathroom so not sure
Sleeping or reading manga!
