I carefully sit down in the corner and observe the happenings. I will start talking to get going and cover up the fatigue. I am trying to adopt a stance so that no one finds out that I am sleep-deprived. I turn off my mind, waiting for it to pass. I hope someone will "pull me along" and support me.

Silence, routine, nobody wants anything from me. Adrenaline and challenges that wake me up. A conversation with someone who will energize me. Canceled meetings and coffee in silence. I just want to disappear and not deal with anything.

Immense responsibility and exhaustion at the same time. Helplessness of not being able to help. Anger at myself for allowing this to happen. I'll suppress everything and go "on autopilot." I will focus on what I can influence here and now.

How do you perceive people who prioritize sleep?
