Where do you rank the kind of tired where consciousness is pain and waking is disaster?

Just a rough decade, you'll sleep it off

Sometimes I think that would be a nice solution: go into suspended animation for 7-10 years and see if I can slot myself into the new madness later. It would be self-extinction-lite, but that's not an option at our current tech*wealth level.

So, I try and remember all the positive coping mechanisms I can and hope the next day is better. (And, so far, something has worked eventually.)
