Do you mean 2 days of sleep per week literally?

[–] Krauerking@lemy.lol 1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah. Wednesday and Saturday.

I worked as a telemarketer from midnight to 8am as one of the jobs and the days I had off were sleep in the middle of the week and so I could have Friday nights to hang with friends.

Definitely do not recommend it, I cried a lot at that time and the lack of sleep was not good and I think it left me with permanent insomnia.

I mean, did you ever have a heart attack, or severe accident?

[–] Krauerking@lemy.lol 1 points 31 minutes ago* (last edited 30 minutes ago)

Anxiety attacks and shortness of breath but nope, no heart attacks. Also horrible depression kicked in at some point.

Did get in lots of physical accidents which I partially attribute to the tiredness. After 8 months of that I quit as a christmas present to myself after almost drowning in a bathtub.
