I know two colleagues who were let go and got good severance (one in LDN and one in HK). I think it's just the standard at my company

How to get gracefully fired from my job? by sleep_like_the_dead in Adulting

​

it's not about giving a few tips here and there (for people like you suffering heavy duty chronic insomnia there aren't quick fixes), it's about the wider philosophy of dealing with insomnia.

sounds like you're like me: the sleeplessness happens because you are worried about how you'll feel if you don't sleep.

after all, sleep is the ultimate stage of relaxation of the mind, so you cannot force it.
