Fucking up my sleep schedule.
Also kinda abusing sleep medication when I get really depressed, I just take a bunch of sleeping pills so I can essentially skip time. Like a free trial of death.

This minus the pills. I have a smart watch that clearly shows that I don't recover well if I go to bed late, but I always go to bed an hour later than I should ideally go, and always end up sleep deprived. I desperately need to cut this shit out.

Comfort Eating.
I don't drink. I don't smoke. I tried weed and found it uninteresting and never did anything harder. I exercise regularly.
But I'll still never be the platonic ideal of a "healthy person", because whenever I'm sad, I need processed sugar to feel like a person again. And brother, does life give me reasons to be sad.
For me it's impulse eating. I badly need impulse control in many areas of my life.

Lots of sitting. Both on my job and in my free time.
Wow this thread makes me comment multiple times, and I feel shittier and shittier the more comments I relate with.

I go without changing bedsheets for a bit longer than i should
Yea, I was pretty bad at that. Like I think it was almost 9 months between changes and I was living in Australia
That's once a year💀. Buddy, even my lazy ass couldn't take it that far. I'm talking usually 2-3 months. I would only change it if i was having... company... Iykwim

I think people will change their mind when presented with facts
That and having to constantly check myself for just being human and not being the beacon of perfection I was supposed to be.
My desk job
Browsing the Internet on my phone instead of sleeping. It is indeed what I am currently doing.
I eat too much.
It would be too little sleep, but that is society's fault for putting early risers on a pedestal and not being accommodating of night owls.
Doom scrolling
6 pack of beer almost every night for the past 3 months. Doctor refuses to help me unless I go to rehab, but it's not feasible to spend that much time away from home.
Husband was drinking 3-4 a night and I was freaking out about it, he got it down to 1-2 by not buying it in packs except on weekend. Like he will stop at the corner store and get one beer for after work.
If you buy only one on your way home, instead of a six pack, do you think you would go out and get more, or might it work for you as it did for him?
I managed to quit for a week by buying one at a time plus a six pack of non alcoholic beer. Trying it out again today.
Good luck to you! A beer, a healthy supper, a walk in the night before bed. You can build healthy habits not just unhealthy ones. Do things to replace that beer. Yin yoga is really relaxing too, good bedtime practice.
Usually I'd be three in by now. Instead I mopped my floors and walked the dog. Eating a big salad now. Trying my hardest rn.

Vaping, doomscrolling, not eating healthy, binge drinking sometimes. The usual
I clench my jaw day and night, like constantly. Not intentionally, and I wear a mouthguard to protect my teeth at night, but I'm not really in control of the clenching and it causes downstream effects. Some mornings I can't open my jaw all the way. I had the feeling of water trapped in my ear (I thought it was from using the pool at the gym), but the ENT told me it was from TMJ. At least a couple times a week I end up with a headache that starts in my jaw and teeth, radiates up my sinuses, and on really bad days, results in light sensitivity and blurred vision.

Vaping or drinking.
Eating at 01:00.
This is the 80th comment and no one has said "drugs" (unless you count alcohol). Maybe drug addicts have better things to do with their time than browse lemmy!

Comfort eating. Before I got adhd meds I had zero impulse control, so I'd eat nothing or eat everything. I would be 75% through a giant bag of snacks, and I'd be actively not enjoying them and wanting to stop, but I just couldn't. I'd stop and put them away and ten seconds later I'd be back eating, even though I was feeling sick and gross.
On meds, that's stopped and I've realised that my craving for snacks is all about comfort, stimulus, and self regulation, and nothing to do with hunger. But even knowing that, I struggle to bother with other harder but healthier ways of stimulating and relaxing, when I could just eat crackers with thick slabs of salty butter, or alternate between dark chocolate and salty peanuts. It's not the worst, but I'm very conscious of that it's not really about the food and so it feels like a lot of empty calories just to chill me out a little.
Not sleeping like... Right now
I smoke.
My homecooked meals aren't healthy enough! My eating habits are too salty with too little vegetables.
Yeah, I'm somewhat of a health nut otherwise.
Y'all know about Tostito's Queso in the jars? I go through a tall jar per week. I'm sure the strong, hazy IPAs are also not on the healthy food pyramid.

Sitting too much and sugar
That i don't go for enough walks being terminally online.
stay at my desk for too long
Bad sleeping habits and eating high sodium food, besides that I don't drink, smoke, consume sugar, or do drugs, so I'm good.
I've gotten into the habit of eating and drinking things fast because of limited time on break and now my digestive system is in terrible shape
I drink a lot of soda
Still smoking while drinking but now only drink 2 days a week and then completely dry the other 5 days
Was smoking but thankfully I quit that before kids. Currently it is sleep. Both kids are night owls and I just want an hour of computer time at night 😜.
Sitting at my desk at work is probably the biggest health risk I face.
I eat well, exercise, drink moderately (not every day, never more than two, almost always one drink only), don't smoke, have sex every day, manage my blood pressure, really try to be good to my body and do things to reduce anxiety but the enforced idleness of desk job is for sure unhealthy.
