    This is not true for me or anybody in my friend group so I guess I don’t know how accurate it is.

    But we do all take vitamin D when the weather is depressing.

      Yeah, I don’t know anyone who takes sleep aids every night. I take them when I want to knock myself out and have a day off the next day, but otherwise no one I know even seems to be aware of Zquil/etc

        I went through a brief period in college when I was taking a full load and working 30 hours a week. I needed to carefully plan my sleep schedule. I was taking sleeping pills to go to sleep right away and caffeine pills to get going, with coffee/soda throughout the day. Was it healthy? Absolutely not.

        On the plus side, I developed a new drink at the cafe I was working at, The Opener; for those 5am shifts.

        • walk by coffee pots, start all of the machines.
        • walk to espresso machine, pull an espresso shot into a regular coffee mug.
        • set down all of my ‘stuff’
        • at this point espresso has finished
        • take espresso mug back to coffee makers. At this point they are hot and flowing. Replace coffee pot with my mug.
        • Once mug is topped off with coffee, replace coffee pot.
        • Sip drink while turning on the lights and computers

      or anybody in my friend group

      I think that’s the problem. People think their friend groups are representative, but they’re not.
