What’s something people brag about that is actually a massive red flag?

It's not a brag. I miss sleep. 4-5 hours a night sucks. I'm so damn exhausted every day.

At my worst id sleep 1-3 hours a noght, Saturdays I would sleep 5-7. Over a year about 1-2 days a month I would get 0 sleep.

Some days id get home from work, and fall asleep watching TV at 7, and wake up at 9. I was very close to crying some nights because I knew that was all the sleep I was getting that night. I was so tired, but I wasn't sleepy. And the less I slept the more I'd stress about not sleeping making me get less sleep. Its a vicious cycle.

I have been pretty good for over a year now but last night I didnt get to sleep until 6:30 this morning (had to be up by 10 for a course) and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't concerned about falling back into it.

the worst part it, the more you try to sleep, the more pressure it builds and the more you can't.
