logically, it makes no sense

My workplace is doing this 'health month' thing for October, which mostly consists of a multitude of zoom presentations. So far all of them have been included some variation of 'you should eat nutritious food and get plenty of exercise and sleep.' (Reasonable advice, though they fall short of offering what I would consider helpful tips to actually do those things while still remaining employed.)

My reaction so far has mainly been to eat a lot of desserts and stay up late, and I am genuinely not sure if it's:

*one of those 'if I don't try I won't fail' things

*just general contrariness

*vague anger that my workplace is encroaching so significantly on my non-work choices, even though I generally agree with the advice and conceptually support the 'health month' vision

*specific anger that my workplace appears to have cancelled Halloween Bingo, which is unrelated to health month except for temporal proximity

*a seasonal change thing

WHO KNOWS??? My brain and body are both mysteries to me; I just live here.
