i have two jobs so i often end up having to close and then go in pretty early the next morning (i also have to leave 45 minutes before my shift). i won’t lie, it sucks, and the free caffeine helps a lot. i live about 27 minutes from my store so if there’s not traffic, i usually get there early enough to make my drink and get a little espresso in me before i start going. if i have trouble sleeping at night, weed *always* puts me to sleep, and helps me stay asleep. melatonin has never helped me very much but it’s supposed to do wonders, that’s worth a shot too! and i set a bazillion alarms to make sure i don’t oversleep. i also have adhd so being on time is really hard for me, especially when i have late/early shifts back to back. but it can be done! also, we don’t think you’re lazy! i am amazed at the people that think working so early is easy. sleep is something i cherish greatly (i’ve had sleep issues my entire life) so getting out of bed is no simple feat for me! good luck ❤️

I've developed some pretty bad insomnia the last couple of years (actually was the reason I downloaded Reddit, so I'd stop buying stupid stuff on Amazon when I couldn't sleep😂). Its gotten to the point that I need medication if I want to fall asleep before 3am or 4am. I was using ZzzQuil and Benadryl, but my doctor said the ingredient that makes you sleepy is being shown to give you memory issues when used everyday. So now I have a prescription. I have to make sure I take it and go to bed at a certain time or I won't wake up on time when I'm opening (I have to get up at 3:15 to be at work at 4:15). It also took a couple weeks to get used to and not be groggy the next day. I started only taking it when I didn't work the next day until I could guage how it made me feel. I'm hoping the insomnia is just part of the severe anxiety I've been dealing with and will go away soon, but for now its working and I'm able to go to sleep and get up ok.
