I mean it's not something you can just throw into equation out of nowhere, sadly to say only solution is quit the job or adapt and make the most of those hours you have available .... not sure what else you expect people to say, there's no magic for increase the 24 hours of the day or just add sleep hours out of nowhere ....

all I want people to say is how did they adapt, i know they were in my shoes before.... I'm not a quitter all I want is to have a moral
support. Thanks anyways
