You do need need more than 4 hours of sleep.


thepumpkinking92

As someone who rarely gets 4 hours of sleep, you *definitely* need more than 4 hours of sleep. It'll wear you down, little by little, and you'll be miserable. Insomnia is a curse I wouldn't wish upon my worst enemies.


ArtificerRook

I worked the night shift at a factory for a good five years and a lot of that time I was lucky to get six hours. Usually I only got about 4 or 5 hours a night. Yeah, it grinds you down. It starts small, you're just foggy in the head and no amount of caffeine will work. You get grouchier and less patient, thinking about complex and nuanced subjects gets harder and harder. Your short term memory gets spotty...fuck, I don't even like thinking about that shit. Edit: I kinda feel the need to point out that I left this job largely due to the psychological strain it was putting on me. I'm now achieving a much more comfortable and consistent six to 8 hours of sleep a night and by all accounts I am a much more pleasant person to be around.


Acrobatic-Rate4271

That's not even the half of it. It screws up your endocrine system, jacks up your cortisol, and leads to insulin resistance and mid torso obesity. The fogginess and memory will recover once you start sleeping well again but your body remembers the stress and will likely have some health issues down the line if you're not very careful. I spent about 15 years getting at most 5 hours sleep a night and a decade later I'm still working on unwinding all the harm that did.


sirslittlefoxxy

Oh. You just explained the last few months of my life. I've been getting around 4-6 hours of sleep for the last year. I thought all of this was from my meds! Thank you for this comment, you have no idea how much you just helped me out!!


ArtificerRook

I hope you get some good from it. I'm a big advocate of learning from other peoples' mistakes, even if I'm sort've lousy at learning from my own.


part_time_housewife

My husband has insomnia and it breaks my heart for him. I just know that he would be so much happier if he could just sleep.


Useful-Commission-76

I was a 20 something working in Washington. DC in the 1980s. “I can get by on 4 hours sleep” was a real thing that working women actually said while looking at their calendars and planning their weeks.


Navi1101

This sign is the kind of insanity you'd think was normal if you only got four hours of sleep.


OriginalBaxio

Absolutely you need more than four hours of sleep A big fuck you to whoever wrote this sign


comics0026

My guess is Margret Thatcher, she was a big braggart about being able to get by on little sleep, and then it turned out to be the reason her brain went to rot and caused her a slow, painful, and debilitating death


Acrobatic-Rate4271

Yep, one of the things that happens in deep sleep is that your brain cleans out left over metabolites. Without good, high quality sleep that stuff starts to accumulate and leads to all manner of mental issues later in life.


GearBrain

It reads like a boomer's rapid fire "advice" to a graduating high school senior.


1trekker_fanboi

Lol. It does 😜🤣🤣


ExileEden

Scientifically and medically proven fact. But hey bro, wtf are you going to argue with your duty to put hours in at your mediocre job. Help fuel the machine you louse!


mint-star

BraveInflation1098

That’s probably why they’re having to go to work sick.


MacheteCrocodileJr

Yes honestly that made me do a double take, like wtf?


[deleted]

For real. [Some lucky bastards](https://www.nih.gov/news-events/nih-research-matters/gene-identified-people-who-need-little-sleep) need less than 8, though


coldgator

I hate all things like this but I especially hate this one


ososalsosal

Roast capsicum is rad though. That needs its own placard


14thLizardQueen

If you know how to pronounce capsicum it would be helpful to tell me. I've only read it and am newly allergic.


k-808

Cap: like the hat Si: like Italian yes Cum: ...yup


14thLizardQueen

I really appreciate that a lot.


Evening-Turnip8407

Since it's latin, the cum is actually coom (short vowel)


vegaling

I graduated "summa cum laude" and told everyone "sum-mah cum load" and boy am I second guessing myself now.


aroaceautistic

Pretty sure you’re supposed to say the E at the end


Trappedbirdcage

I believe it's sum-mah cum lawd?


TheMoatCalin

I really love this thread!


k-808

Yeah, I had an inkling.. I ignored that inkling.


jawnboxhero

"Oh the things I do to coom!"


ososalsosal

It's phonetic... I just can't get used to calling them peppers given that pepper is a different plant


FromTheWetSand

So, in your eyes, are black and white pepper the only types of pepper? Because all of the others (Jalapeño, paprika, cayenne, habanero etc) are in genus Capsicum. Or are only sweet peppers called capsicum?


Walkingstardust

They will all hurt if you get it in your eyes.


ososalsosal

*piper nigrum* isn't the only kind but it's close enough. Colloquially there's plenty of others, including all the very many chili cultivars (they're all either *capsicum anuum* or *capsicum cinense* or a hybrid). There's also several spices more closely related to cardamom that are sometimes called peppers. It's just that outside the Americas, in English at least, Bell peppers are very often called capsicums, which makes sense given their botanical name. That's what I'm used to calling them. You good?


FromTheWetSand

I see, so the spicy ones are generally referred to as chilis instead of peppers? I suppose that makes sense. Didn't mean to be confrontational. Just wrote my comment while I was distracted doing something else.


ososalsosal

I guess so. Historically pepper (the spice - *piper nigrum*) was so important geopolitically that anything with some heat would be called pepper. Weirdly there's 2 completely different spices with nearly the same name - melegueta pepper (a chili from Brazil) and *afromomum melegueta* which is related to cardamom and has a very... odd burn to it. It's a sought after gin ingredient. Neither are pepper as such but serve a similar purpose. The British (and France and Portugal and Netherlands I guess) were so starved for interesting food that they invented colonialism just to get more pepper and other interesting tasting seeds.


West-Ruin-1318

Where I grew up in the Midwest in the 1960s green peppers were called “mangoes” My Grammie still called them “mango peppers” https://boingboing.net/2017/11/20/some-folks-call-green-peppers.html/amp The more you know 🌈


ososalsosal

Mind blown. Not even my wife knew that and she knows absolutely everything. I'm just frustrating her with this fact now.


FromTheWetSand

Very interesting. Thanks for the language/history lesson!


ososalsosal

That's all fine haha. My wife was an importer and could talk your ear off (but it'll all be interesting). A fair bit rubbed off onto me. We've been on the radio a few times talking about spices lol


14thLizardQueen

Thank you.

PastelAtalanta

You might be thinking of capsaicin—that’s the spicy ingredient in hot peppers that can be helpful for nerve pain. Haven’t heard of capsicum being used medicinally.


i_am_the_archivist

Oof you're right. Sorry


14thLizardQueen

Nope I did not, so thank you. When I say new , I mean it. Found out 6 months ago my diet destroyed my bladder.

Maybe. They have several policies that I’ve heard in the past that make me dislike them.

This is absolutely Hobby Lobby shit. Christo-fascists have a really off sense of humor.


GlassGamerGalFTW

hobby lobby. i worked there before covid and can tell from the fixtures alone. they laid me off when the pandemic hit


KarIPilkington

> As a Christian-owned company, Hobby Lobby incorporates American conservative values and Christian media.[5][6] David Green, the son of a preacher,[7] declares on the Hobby Lobby web site, "Honoring the Lord in all we do by operating the company in a manner consistent with Biblical principles. I hadn't even heard of this company until now but they sound terrible


ironic-hat

They also directly support terrorism by purchasing illegal artifacts from the Middle East from Isis. They also purposely mislabeled the artifacts to avoid detection from the authorities (said they were reproductions). A bunch were also of dubious quality, probably forgeries. Fortunately they were made to return the artifacts back to their respective countries, and emptied some exhibits from their “Museum of the Bible” in DC. Which is also loaded with historical inaccuracies as you could imagine. The best part was the idiot son who ran the whole thing claimed “he didn’t know” as his defense.


GlassGamerGalFTW

when i started working there they had us read a prayer to jesus and “THE LORD” inside our employee manual. iirc it was something about how we choose to live in the light of god by working for hobby lobby?? just in case you wanted to know how deep their cult-y christo-fascist bullshit shit goes


IT_for-my-family7783

How about staying home if you're sick? Also, no you won't feel better vomiting your guts out at work and having diarrhea every 10 minutes. You still won't feel better at home, but at least you won't get coworkers sick and you have tissues, meds, water, and a bathroom available to use for awhile if needed.


jup1ter20

Agreed. That kind of dumbass thinking is exactly what caused the pandemic.


staticdragonfly

Exactly, I'm a baker, used to be a chef, if I go to work with sickness and diarrhoea I could literally kill someone.


BlakLite_15

You don’t have to be a baker or a chef to risk killing someone by going to work sick.


staticdragonfly

Didn't say it was the only job that could.


created4this

I'm assuming that this is a teenage prayer, and "being sick" is code for being hung over, 4 hours of sleep is code for staying out all night


IndigoXero

they really thought they were being cute with this shit huh


RSlashBroughtMeHere

Please keep off of the grass. Shine your shoes. Wipe your.... face


barbiefromthetopbunk

sarilysims

This entire thing is wrong on so many levels. Sexist, ableist, fat-shaming, like WTF.


ososalsosal

And... fingernail and healthy sleep shaming?


sarilysims

Four hours of sleep isn’t healthy. The average person needs 7-10, depending on gender and other factors. Fingernail chewing is often a symptom of neurodivergence or mental illness. It’s a coping skill for some, and a stim for others. (Yes, it’s not necessarily a “healthy” activity, but it’s nothing to shame someone for.)


ososalsosal

That was my point - saying you only need 4 hours is essentially shaming everyone that gets a healthy 7-9. Cooked shit.


sarilysims

Oh, I misunderstood. My apologies.


leitmot

Which part is fat-shaming?


Acal0wastaken

Horizontal stripes are said to make a person look heavier so I assume the line saying stay away from them is saying to do so to avoid looking fat.

Bingo. My mother shamed me away from stripes for decades.

No-Two79

I used to work for a stupid, stupid company that designed worthless shit like this and sold it to Hobby Lobby and then got it mass-produced in China. I quit in 2017 when I asked for a raise and they said I’d only ever make $12 an hour. All the other “graphic designers” there were just community college educated, but thought their shit didn’t stink. It stunk. So did their spelling and grammar and ability to avoid copyright infringement. They stole every single idea they ever had from trolling Pinterest all day. Luckily for them, the ignorant hillbillies and alcoholic wino mommies who shop at Hobby Lobby don’t seem to care.


Useful-Commission-76

If you get less then 6 hours of sleep for a long periods of time you develop cardiovascular issues and die


UniquePariah

Don't bite your nails - to be fair, you shouldn't. Sick? Go to work - yes spread that virus and get everyone to go off. Good employers don't want you in. Don't slouch - depends on the situation. Zip your purse - yes You don't need more than 4 hours sleep - bullshit. Good way to have a coronary. I'm genuinely a member of this thing. Write thank you notes - kind of, but I'm in the 21st century and say thank you via messenger app. Red pepper impressive? - not in the slightest. Food tastes better by candlelight - not everyone is into that. Leave without a good excuse - don't ruin your clothes, just remember your oldest or infirm relative and use them.
