Skipping sleep got my account breached. Don't be like me.
Was up late for days. Clicked a bad link without thinking. Now I make sure to rest before handling sensitive stuff.

Okay but "up late for days" causing this feels like a stretch. You probably would have clicked that link anyway if it looked real enough. Being tired doesn't turn you into a total security novice out of nowhere.

Ever pulled an all-nighter and then just did something dumb? Honestly, I was so tired once I almost fell for a text about a "package delivery fee" because I was expecting a box. Tbh my brain just went "yep that tracks" and I nearly tapped it before I caught myself. Being that worn out doesn't make you clueless, but it totally turns off your little voice that says "wait, check this first.

Gotta disagree a bit here, sleep messes with your head more than we admit. @elliotl31 might downplay it, but fatigue strips away your usual caution. You stop double-checking links or questioning weird messages. It's like your mental guardrails just vanish. I've seen it happen where a tired friend clicked on a phishing email they'd normally spot. Lack of rest makes you open to mistakes you'd avoid when alert.
