    I can be out in 30 seconds. My wife hates it, LOL. Especially because I can self check and give her an accurate prediction of when I will be tired enough for sleep.

    I.e. she might say “what do you want to do tonight? And I’ll say " we can watch a short episode of a show or a quick board game, because I have 45 minutes before I’ll be asleep”

    Main things are routine:

    • I eat a balanced diet of protein, fats, carbs. And I don’t often snack on sugary foods.
    • I don’t go to bed unless I’m actually tired.
    • I wake up about the same time every day. Usually with the sunrise.
    • I don’t have worry, or anxiety, that would keep my brain busy at night. Everything can be tomorrow’s problem.
    • if my body is tired out, but my mind isn’t, I’ll put in earbuds and listen to a podcast in bed , but with everything set for sleeping. Lights out, eyes shut, comfortable in the covers.

    We had debt and paying for kids stuff so were on a super super tight budget at one point. I’d stick to staple foods like lentils, rice, potatoes. I’d boil potatoes for a dish and then save the water because that can be a soup base for the next meal. Some grocery places near us have dollar bags where they round up random veg that will be unfit to sell in a few days. I used to score a dollar bag with an onion a carrot, peppers, potatoes, and tomatoes in it. Perfect combo for a mixed veg curry for a dollar.

    You may want to find a different job. This one does not suit you or your idea of what it should be.

    If you were an independent contractor you could sit all day till your contracted duty comes up. But with the job you took with the employer had notes that they will ask you to do other duties; this is what this job is. Here we call it a porter, and it can be pushing a patient to treatment, delivering med to another floor, bringing a binder to the lab…whatever needs doing basically.

    Many people prefer to be busy so they day goes by fast, and so normally taking on a duty when it’s not your specific job is well received. In your case it sounds like you don’t enjoy that part. So dude find a new job.

    You are on here a lot complaining about work, its time to take action rather than look for validation for the friction your stance is creating between you and staff at work.

    I’m not saying one way or the other is the correct way to work, just that this job doesn’t suit you.

    And I’m not hating on your for your choice because I see both sides. My wife was a union rep at her work and she’s very by the book / work duty and everything else is someone else’s role. Where as my job is very fluid. I was hired specifically for expertise on a software to help get customers solutions and training on that software. But it can also be sales, or traveling to do presentations, or doing a customer process audit, or video editing and sound production, or documentation, or CAD modeling for clients, or automating their workflow, sometimes a customer is around the globe so instead of 9am I join a meeting at 5am (means I end work at 1pm instead of 5pm), And I’ve even been contacted out of my company to work directly at another company to do whatever they needed. Point is I don’t care what the paper says I was hired for, they are all opportunity to make my day go by fast and learn something different.

    Find a job that encourages you to expand your horizons, or one that suits your “I only get up to do the exact task” role.
