Welcome to the tired-all-day club! Fixing your sleep schedule has never been harder. We know you're not even trying. Scrolling through TikTok for 40 minutes straight before bed last night? That doesn't look like trying to me. And you probably shouldn't have replied to that reel your friend sent you at 2 AM… Now you're wide awake again. Don't worry, you're definitely not alone, and we've got your back! Here are more memes to keep your late-night scrolling going wild. 

Morning people? We don't know them. We live for the thrill of getting some rest with a few power naps and the hope of finally keeping our delusional promise: "I'll go to sleep early tonight."   

Keep scrolling for all the laughs and yawns!

  • Let me guess… You stayed up late scrolling through memes again. Still tired, still scrolling. You never change. And why did you need to watch that 10-minute video of a man building a tiny house for his hamster? Completely adorable, but totally unnecessary. Your dream of becoming a healthy morning person is slipping further and further away. You're still chronically tired, but we've got to the point where we stop trying and embrace the yawns. You know you should change your sleep schedule, but TikTok, Twitter, and Instagram seem to be your worst enemies. Listen up, Mark Zuckerberg, this is serious. You created this monster.

  • I hate alarms!!! That moment when you set your alarm, realizing you'll only get 5 hours of sleep and that tomorrow is going to be looooong. The clock is ticking, and every minute that passes is a minute less to sleep. So I tell myself, “I'll just answer one more message", but suddenly the conversation gets interesting, and then it's 2 AM.

  • The thing is, my Instagram algorithm is so good I can't even be mad about it. Last night I said, “Well, I've got plenty of time today, I finally managed to go to bed at a reasonable time.” But then, Instagram said no. So, even when I go to bed early, I end up falling asleep late anyway!! It makes no sense!!
