After my first research article on personal sleep data and happiness (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17558542), I wanted to do a follow-up.

Sleep is a factor that has a lot of influence on my life and mental well-being, yet there's a lot that I still need to learn about it.

This new article is my attempt at getting there. I want to use the lessons and observations from these analysis essays to steer my life in the best direction possible.

Thanks for sharing this research. I have a similar sleep schedule to yours (deprived weekdays, binge sleep on weekends) and find myself low on energy.

I had a period of time in my life where I was getting in bed early and waking up early (naturally) and that was when I was the most satisfied and had the most consistent sleep.

Now that I work in IT, I find myself more stressed and wanting to do more things that I enjoy to counter the stress of the daily grind and am fighting my sleep schedule again. I do feel quite out of balance and would like consistent sleep again, but that would probably require a less stressful job or coming to peace with my current job and situation.

Thanks for commenting! The things you say really resonate with me as that is exactly how I feel as well. After a long day at work, I wanna decompress and do things that I actually enjoy. This makes me happy on an otherwise dull day, but comes at the cost of my sleep... :(
