I did practice setting boundaries but at times it conflicts with adapting to circumstances that can be fluid. In my case, it continued for too long. Important or pressing issues tend to put my rest and recharge routine on indefinite hold. For a 20 month stretch since the Covid pandemic I not only with my full-time Night shift and tending to the needs of my family, but also took on caring for my late Roommate following her Cancer diagnosis. Add my responsibilities in the Hive community, all left me chronically exhausted sleeping an average of 5 hours a day. This schedule has been very hard on my health and now I am forced to retire due to my health.
