Comment on Ask HN: How can I get out of tech?

Comments

I have no frame of reference for how PTSD must impact your life but it must be so hard - thank you for your service.

I do have empathy and a frame of reference as someone who also struggles with quality and quantity of sleep - sleeping only four hours a night makes you a train wreck of a person. Even if you could and do this now, it is not sustainable and can create feelings of extreme burnout. You likely you have become numb to how vast an impact this is having on you. (I say this as someone who ignored this for years and realized I was losing weeks at a time to living in a fog of exhaustion). I urge you to work on this and then make a bigger life change.
