I’m grateful I have time to rest and lay in bed via /r/gratitude

This is something I won't ever underestimate. I am always grateful to have time to rest. Why?

I was a working student before. I had 7 classes. And on top of that, I have my 8 hr full time job that sometimes requires a 1 hr overtime. I had classes 4 days a week, and I worked 5 days a week.

Everyday, I would need to go out because weekends I have work. On my day offs at work, I had classes. I get 3-4 hrs sleep on most days, and maybe 2 days of the week I'll get atleast 7-8.

This cycle was tiring. I was always out. I slept in sleeping quarters at work because I worked graveyard shift. I dont have a car. I only ride jeepneys in the Philippines. My shift was at 1 am or 2 am. So I go to work around 9 pm. Then I sleep at work. When I would go home, I'd just shower, pack stuff, and leave again.

I would wake up still tired. But Ill force myself to run on the way to the bathroom, bash my face, brush my teeth, and head on to my station to work even when Im half awake.

Now Im grateful I have time to sleep properly and enjoy my own bed! ^{~^}
