The second-wind effect can be brutal. Your body understands that you need to sleep, yet your brain is staying awake, and even though it doesn’t understand why, there must be a reason so it gives you the energy you need for… whatever you’re staying up for. It assumes it’s life or death.

I feel ya Papa

Oh you get those late night / end of days second winds huh? I'm either tired at a reasonable hour or awake until 4 am 😔

honoyoru.bsky.social•17 days ago

Happens to me too. 8 hour work day leaves me exhausted, but as soon as I get home and relax, I'm wide awake until like 2-3 am sometimes unfortunately.

Oh, you got the 24 hour high, the 25th hour (not the spooky one), the second wind (not as fun as DND), the second rising (wait ...), the second erec- (okay maybe not so much).

Oof, I've dealt with that insomnia-like fugue state before. Never fun. Best of luck. 🤗

Its called 'getting your second wind'.

redbcatvt.bsky.social•17 days ago

Off multiple times and it sucks

beowulfhunter.bsky.social•17 days ago

Literally one of the worst feelings imo. Like brain, I'd like to sleep. Why won't you let me?

Pretty sure it's a thing from early human evolution, we seem hard wired to go into a alert state if we didn't sleep when tired... probably was very helpful when either chasing prey or being chased as prey

2nd wind hits real hard and it suuuuucks

ashleythefae.bsky.social•17 days ago

sabelaarts.bsky.social•17 days ago

Yep. I worked a full day at my retail job (4th in a row), then promptly ran over to the nearby comic and hobby shop to attend 24 hour comic day where you stay up for 24 hours straight drawing a comic.

After the event I got home and could not rest at all until I collapsed a few hours later. Yay!

kojiinc.bsky.social•17 days ago

Been feeling it all week, Godspeed Papa. 🫡

craxycatlady.bsky.social•17 days ago

Me too. Almost 3am and I've been up for a couple hours watching attenborrough(sp) talk about animals. A cat at my foot sleeping peacefully and a hubby sleeping as well. I am awake, dreadfully.
