A netizen asked why do people like to wear their “lack of sleep” as a badge of honour and act like it is some kind of accomplishment, being sleep deprived.

Here is the story
Why do people seemingly like to wear their lack of sleep as a badge of honor?
I’m genuinely curious as to why some people feel the need to compare their lack of sleep as some sort of accomplishment here.
Whenever the topic of sleep gets brought up and I mention that I sleep at around 11 and wake up at 6, their response it always “Sleep so early? I sleep at XX time and wake up at XX time”
Isn’t it better to get enough sleep rather than be sleep deprived all the time?

- Their romantisation of toxic working culture
- Tbh I sleep late cus I dread waking up for work. I know I should go to sleep but I will continue to use my phone
- This is it. Everyone likes to brag when they have to work.
- Ah, some people like to turn things into a competition everytime. Like how much spiciness one can take, or how much OT they are doing.
- Perhaps it’s a young person thing… people my age are envious of those who can get more sleep!
- in my line of work there isn’t such a thing as finishing work. u finish something, management assign you to help other stuff etc. usually the most capable ones are double/triple booked for multiple jobs and may need to even attend calls after hours etc.. while those not capable ones will have more free time because no one want to book/assign jobs to them. hope that answers your question. tldr: lack of sleep = management see them as more capable, assign more jobs/responsibilities to them.
