From Night Owl to 5am Dad - Life 180

A

2d ago1 min read

Used to be that guy who'd stay up until 2am gaming and watching streams. Now I'm up at 5am with my 2 year old who thinks that's prime time. Miss sleeping in on weekends, honestly. But I don't miss feeling like a zombie all day. There's something weird about being more tired but also more... present? Like I actually remember conversations now instead of living in a fog. My friends think I've been abducted by aliens.

Man, I feel this in my soul. Twins hit me the same way and I went from midnight gaming sessions to being a 5am zombie. The coffee thing became less of a hobby and more of a survival necessity real quick.

Yeah dude, I'm still clinging to some woodworking dreams but honestly the basement stays dark these days. Your 2 year old's internal clock is just undefeated.

Haha welcome to the club. At least when my daughter wakes up early we can do some crafts and I don't feel like I'm wasting the day. Still miss sleep though, not gonna lie.
