Train sc2.Start earning money from it.Now it is your job.Problem solved???

On a more serious note a healthy diet+some exercising should do wonders.Personally though I always sleep 6/7 hours even less with very rare occasions when it goes over 10 hours.

Do you really want a girl friend?

This apply to everything.
Seems like you have some prioritization to do. Maybe go from gamer to spectator could make it easier to quit playing?

Dude i feel your exact pain. Since sc2 came out i haven't been getting enough sleep so my 9-6 job is becoming a pain and my girlfriend is making me choose between sleep and sc lol (if i stiffed her then she'd probably destroy my computer). Luckily i used to be a huge stoner and if you pass out while you're high you get awesome sleep and 6-7 hours is good enough. But seriously dude you just gotta wait for the novelty of sc2 to wear off and you'll be back to normal soon

I don't understand the problem have with mixing a life of work, gaming and love... I currently wake up @ 5:30 am for work everyday and get home around 5:30-6:30 depending on traffic and work hours, plus I just moved in with my woman, and I can still game enough to keep me happy everyday. Just get your body use to it, I usually head to bed around 10:30-11 every night.

Yes, yes but I get home at 8 or so, so sleeping at 10 basically means going home, eating, sleeping. I need to relax and game a lil' bit before I sleep or my day ain't worth it :D

I totally know how you feel.

Currently its like 9-5 job, workout from 5:30-7ish, make dinner and shower, starcraft 2 or girlfriend (or both ;D). And suddenly, its 1am. Definitely not getting enough sleep. I wake up as late as possible to try and get to work on time but that means buying breakfast and wasting money even though I could just as well wake up like 5-10 mins earlier to make some breakfast. But I can't because I HATE getting up in the morning.

Definitely would recommend exercising during the day. It has helped me boost my energy levels throughout the day instead of randomly falling asleep. Also be sure to keep a healthy diet eat small meals regularly will help you feel less tired.

AHAHAH You won't believe it but I actually tried.

I thought ok, let's get hammered and I'm gonna sleep that way hehe.

Fact #1. It works, I literally fell asleep in 15 minutes, well, not really sleeping, more like stuck in my head and my body wouldn't move.

Fact #2. You don't wake up in a good shape when you go to sleep wasted.

I asked friends who smoke a lot and they all told me they smoke at least 1 hour before sleeping because waking up is too hard otherwise =))

Sure there is a way. The body adapts and can adapt to any scenario as long as you give it time. It doesn't mean it's healthy for you.

Are you unhappy at work, or unhappy with your current life situation? If the answer is yes, you should dedicate your free time to finding a NEW JOB where the hours are more reasonable. The problem is people seem to think they have to take it by their boss and slave away for the rest of their life, when it clearly isn't the case. You can ALWAYS quit. No one is forcing you to work for anyone, and if you think you have no other options, you're deluding yourself. It's your life and you only get one chance to live life to the fullest.

when you feel like this you should take 3-4 days with 6-9 hours of sleep.
what youre experiencing isnt good at all, you'll break down soon.

when i overwork myself, i just say "fuck the world, im not doing this shit anymore," and give myself a bad mentality about life, but i get over it with proper sleep.

just take a couple of days with 7-9 hours of sleep.

6-7 hours sleep is actually the recommended dose i'm sure. 8 hours is a myth, but i'm too lazy to look up the studies for this (they are out there though if you are interested). for adults anyway. i'm not sure why you feel not rested with such an amount of sleep. perhaps you're not falling asleep as fast as you think you are (going to sleep at 1am holds little value if you fall asleep at 3) or maybe you wake up at night due to stress or w.e?

also, never say you don't have an option to do X. you always have options, you always have choice. no matter who or where you are. of course in this game, cutting sc2 seems like an obvious solution from an outsider that knows little else about your life
(\o/)  If you want it, you find a way. Otherwise you find excuses. No exceptions.

Drop the gf. Not playing sc2 will make you a worse gamer in the long run, but not having a gf now will have little impact on whether you have one later on in life.

yeah there's been a lot of stuff about it. I'm not sure if it's truly a myth, but certainly it's been questioned. There isn't much difference between 7 and 8hrs for me at all.

You need sleep so you have to make yourself more time, therefore one of the three has to go:

Job,GF, SC

Job = +money - time
SC = + fun - time
GF = + x - money & time

So I say it all depends on x + Show Spoiler +
read: how good and how often


Notable is also that usually the more money and time you invest in your GF the better the x is.
Losing job may also mean losing GF + Show Spoiler +
not enough minerals = money
so we can rule that option out. It all comes down to the true value of x which is pretty much individual

It doesn't cost anything to have a girlfriend. And who doesn't say having a girlfriend is fun? Hell, I'd rather spend a whole day in bed with a girl I love than spend it grinding away on the ladder. Better "x" has nothing to do with "investing" money in your girlfriend. Your girlfriend is not a fucking property you acquired. It's a human being, a person. Not a business agreement that thrives depending on the amount of money you invest.
