My sleep habits got messed up as a teenager and I’ve struggled a lot to fix it over the years, without success. I want to aim to get 7 hours. I end up with an average of 6:30. This doesn’t sound too bad, but it is. At the end of every 2 weeks the sleep deficit is a full night’s missed sleep. Over the past year I have a 90 hour deficit (as if I’ve completely missed almost 13 nights sleep).
I used to live off 4 to 5 hours after my first kid. It’s no way to live. It’s like being on drugs, you might not realise what a bad hole you’re in till you come out of it. It’s one of the biggest determinants to good health. Once you start sleeping well consistently, your experience of everything on life will be so much better when your brain doesn’t have a constant fatigue haze. This takes weeks of good sleep to recover from (not 2 nights of good sleep after months of terrible sleep).
I set up Bitwarden for my wife and parents. They then only access this stuff via mobile and login with fingerprint. They then change to a new device and don’t remember any passwords at all and come to me to reset all their account passwords and rebuild a new Bitwarden password database. They don’t even know the password for their main Gmail account with their Android phones. I now keep their main Gmail password in my own Bitwarden and set this as their recovery account for everything. It’s painful being the family tech support guy.
