Recovering from burnout is hard. I keep telling myself "Oh, I'll just sleep for a week, everything will be fine!", but there isn't a one-and-done solution. Instead, you have to actively look out for yourself, and work on changing a world of bad habits that all piled up.

I'm exhausted and require excessive amounts of sleep right now. Working in tech, and then later the military, drained me a lot. Recovery requires me to abandon old survival tools, like excessive amounts of caffeine and nicotine.
