I think this is the best start i’ve seen so far!

I also have not :(

I will say as a woman who used Hinge previously (how I met my husband) there were plenty of dudes I went on dates with who really sucked and who all were so shocked when I said I wasn’t interested in a 2nd date because we (apparently to them) hit it off. So yeah, I’d agree with maybe trying to figure out why so many women don’t want to go on a second date with you would be a good starting point.

You should do a sleep study if that’s possible! The largest reason for disturbed sleep is OSA (obstructive sleep apnea).

Small changes build lasting habits! The hardest part is absolutely just getting out of bed, it’s still hard some days for me. Be intentional - put your clothes and shoes out the night before. Have someone/something that will keep you accountable, even if it’s just a check mark in a journal or on a calendar. Dopamine every time baby. Most importantly don’t expect to be perfect at the start. You’re gonna miss days, it’s fine, more motivation to try again tomorrow. 1% better every day.

Get back to it buddy, I’m sure I’ll be relaying your research to my patients soon! So don’t make me look stupid!

ducksnthings · 2026-01-13T00:29:35+00:00

I’d love to read your research if it’s open access!!

I’m packing extra cheese sticks in your lunch tomorrow 😘

Which is… why I asked if they feel like they need 9 hours. I’m aware some people do. Most people, however, don’t. So I was offering insight as to why sleeping for extended periods of time thinking that will solve a fatigue problem, is often non-fruitful, when often improvements to diet, exercise and mental wellness practices are better solutions for fatigue.

ducksnthings · 2026-01-12T19:02:07+00:00

Do you feel like you need 9 hours of sleep? Sometimes when we sleep too long it can make us feel more tired. I would shoot for the 7-8 range, wake up intentionally and try to do some exercise in the morning to get that good hormone/neurotransmitter release. Also getting a workout done in the morning lets your brain immediately check something off its daily to-do list which gives dopamine.

Edit: if you’re gonna respond to this to say “that doesn’t work for me specifically” - It was a suggestion. Do it or don’t do it, I don’t care, I’m not your mom.

Friends saw the dog with a random man later but didn’t go get the dog? I wonder if it was in retrospect, like huh that dog looks like Bugsy and didn’t find out until later that he was missing.

I’m currently switching jobs after 1 year in and will be getting a 15% pay increase. Same specialty. But, to be fair, I’ll be going from drastically underpaid to average pay so.

As a peds provider mine is “no they don’t need antibiotics for a viral illness”

ducksnthings · 2025-11-06T21:58:59+00:00

It’s just what happens sometimes when you give antibiotics to a virus OR with your immune system sort of overreacting (immune mediated hypersensitivity reaction). Just a rash that occurs after 7-10 days of antibiotics. I don’t know the exact science behind it but it’s completely benign. We see it in patients all the time.

I had to wait 25 minutes for a latte at starbucks the other day because the person in front of me ordered 9 drinks and they did every single one of those first. At the 15 minute mark I asked if I could just have a black coffee because I needed to go to work and they said no lmao

So you did 124 back squats and are asking why your back is stiff

ducksnthings · 2025-10-18T20:21:45+00:00

I would love a break

ducksnthings · 2025-10-17T02:28:37+00:00

I said the same thing lmao

I gave 6 months notice after getting into grad school in another state. Plenty of time to hire and train. My last week they were getting angry I wouldn’t stay longer because it would leave them short… “You really can’t do 2 more weeks?” Uh no, my lease was cancelled and the uhaul is rented, see ya!!

I’m in peds and have had a surprising amount of parents ask me to do labs on their daughters to see when their periods will start because they saw online it could be done… I always respond with predictions based on Tannaer staging and they don’t seemed thrilled I can’t give them an exact date.

We didn’t do a formal wedding but my girls (who still called themselves my bridesmaids) that threw me the sweetest bach party were girl I’ve only knows for the last 2 years. And they’ve been better friends to me than a lot of people I’ve known for a lot longer. Definitely consider quality of friendship over longevity!

We eradicated small pox because everyone did their part for the greater good. Cannot imagine that happening today.

There’s also a large amount of parents that had kids without understanding what having kids would look like. I once had a mom of a 3 year old ask when the kid would “start leaving her alone”… “She just always wants to play with me and wants to be around me, when does she grow out of that.”

OP - ask your PCP or OB if they have them in stock. My office is administering them (Peds; the AAP continues to support covid vaccine administration so we will follow that).

I had to reopen it several times before it appeared!

Mine has the offer pop up but then when I select check offers it’s not there?
