the definition of a sick day is "you don't feel well" and not getting enough sleep is a textbook method of making you not feel well

You don't have to provide details about why you're taking a sick day.

If it was me, I'd suck it up and go in. Lack of sleep is a bummer however a smaller check would bother me moreso.

Depending on your schedule I'd try to use the sick day to make a 3-day weekend.

when I was doing my engineering internship, I'd rack up an 'overtime PTO' day every couple of weeks by virtue of the bus timetable making it so that I ended up staying ~20 minutes longer every day. This on top of the 15 days I was entitled to anyway

Plus with sick days, here you have to get a doctor's note and it can be a hassle

You can get unlimited sick days here, as long as you have a doctor's note. PTO is part of the benefits package and even there there's a minimum they have to give you, often mandated by union

Not feeling well is not feeling well.

If they do not require doctor note, that is your decision.
And if they do, work somewhere else cause fuck that.

It doesn't actually if no doctor note. You just wanna play games that day, take the day off. Mental health is important too.

I think it should be fine. Lack of sleep is really not good. I see why some could see it as wasteful, because who knows why you might want to use it in the future, but if your gut has you want to use it, and you arent constantly doing it, theres no problem.

My fiance has the type of epilepsy that is triggered by lack of sleep, rather than strobing lights.

Pretty much has to get 8+ hours every night. If its even like 6 hours, shell have auras(mini seizures) all day

Wasteful in that he might need it for an emergency. Like if he actually gets really sick or something. I agree people should pretty much mind their own business when it comes to sick day usage though.

that is because if you ask a week for sick leave they will want proof you are that sick

for a day, they will not and should not unless you work at a toxic place

If you have a real emergency, who gives a fuck how many sick days you got left.
"Oh no, I am dying! But, I have no more sick days! Better go into work!"

This was a hypothetical situation. 3 months ago I was in this situation and did call in sick, made a topic on CE and ppl got mad at me for doing so

And I have always said I have to go into the office once a week
