On: What Working At Stripe Has Been Like

> My sleep schedule has ranged from atypical to disastrous, but that has been true for almost all of my adult life.

This is been my life as well, with the exception of a few years when I was doing over an hour of cardio per day (first on a swim team and later as a hobbyist distance runner).

It's so hard to shut down after just a 24 hour cycle but not doing so always catches up with you.

Yup, same here. It takes a ton of discipline to keep a 24-hour cycle.

It's not a lack of discipline, it's a recognized medical condition: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-24-hour_sleep%E2%80%93wake...
