Or my favourite from a physical perspective as a health professional:

What doesn't kill you leaves you crippled and in pain for the rest of your life!

Cheery.

Fully agree. I'm in Queensland (Australia's Florida) and it never ceases to amaze me how the majority of people in this state will enthusiastically vote against their own best interest, complain that things have gone to shit, blame any and all progressive/green parties and then do it all again.

This is me. Lots of very loud music in my past and now at 51 I still have surprisingly good hearing (can hear those anti-teen mosquito speakers if I'm close-ish) but the tinnitus gets wild sometimes. Luckily for me it works like white noise when I need to sleep. Bonus!

This is good advice

The best action is to just go to bed at a reasonable time tonight, even if you're not tired. Lie down, close your eyes and relax. Even if you are awake for longer than normal, you will fall asleep eventually.>

Quite a while ago I was listening to a pod about sleep (Ologies: Somnology. Highly recommend Ologies in general!) and they were saying that even if you don't sleep at all simply lying down and resting is beneficial. It's not as good as proper sleep but it's a lot better than staying up.

I'm ADHD (no autism afaik), very late diagnosis (47). The very longest I've stayed, pre-diagnosis, was about 42 hours. I wasn't studying at the time so not terrible but not great either lol I fairly regularly go over 24 hours because I do on-call shifts once or twice a fortnight. It's not a great experience and not the healthiest thing to do really.
