Laittakaa meemejä tänne.

My sticking point is if it's self inflicted or not.
Tired because you stayed up all night playing video games? Yeah, don't have much sympathy.
Up all night studying for whatever exam or you pulled back to back 12 hour shifts for work? Yeah that sucks man.
Hustle hustle, advance yourself and be productive. But don't you dare to have more fun than work!
I stay up all night to game or have other kinds of fun. But still not tired because I just sleep as long as I want to. I must be a disappointment to our people 😁
Nah if you have the ability to game and sleep as much as you want then more power to you.
I just don't like hearing "oh I'm tired" and I ask why and someone says "oh I went to bed at 4am because of a new MMO expansion" like, ok? You're tired because you were up all night having fun?
Or especially if you do that and also fall asleep at work or something. Like I'm not picking up your slack because you decided to game all night.
But if you have a newborn or you're taking care of an elderly parent or whatever then yeah I'll help you out if you ask.
Maybe you never had the joy of loosing yourself in something that is really fun and forget time? And then it's suddenly 5am...
Well, if you COULD sleep at work, great. Then why sleep at night at home ,-) I don't work so luckily I don't have to care about that.
But I would also help you if gamed all night and forgot time. A newborn would not be some special reason to grant help. Even less so, actually as you also decided to have one and also knew that it will basically eliminate your sparetime.
I just prefer to be kind to people. We've all stayed up too late doing something unimportant l, and it sucks bring tired. So I sympathize and move on
I usually am tired because I play games all night.
That is because I don't see that my free time is long enough for me. Well then my sleep time must be reduced, because reducing working time is not that easy.
If I only could sleep on work all the time....
It was similar for me for a long time. There's even a name for that specific reason to go to bed late: revenge bedtime procrastination
