 Problem is not sleep, not getting sleep on time 
 Sleep is good 8 hours from wherever it starts

How is it that we all have collectively gotten used to using our phones in bed because we can't sleep?

Slept at around 5,6 am the past few days and my brain is fucked. Feels like something stuck in the head. Sleep is so crucial.

Bad sleeping habits

Test engineer

I am working as SDE 1 in a good Indian startup. It's getting toxic day by day. Late night workings like 3AM and working on weekends is normalised like anything. Since I am new to IT ( no sort of politics never) and have almost 2.5 Years of experience, I am facing issues in getting credits. Last appraisal cycle in January, I was nominated for promotion but wasn't given to me, reason: you have not worked with architect and he was making decisions. In that case, architect should have been distributed tasks to us. 

one SDE3 is leading one of the projects ( not a big one ) and manager/architect is not much interested and never join any standup or retro, I have contributed immensely to that. Now since it is completely driven by sde 3 , he takes updates from us and show his work infront of seniors and director + announces like his work and seldom we get thank you in threads. Like if you did one function or wrote complete flow, for both thank you. Because of all these reasons, my work is not getting recognised. There is no one in team to help in this. 

Whenever a manager or Architect show cases some features or release, it's pretty evident that his team has done it but when a sde 3 does it, it is not the same. It conveys the message all or 90% work is done by him. 

I would like to take some suggestions from my seniors and fellow mates here. 

Hierarchy - sde 1-2-3-4-EM
I can't leave or switch right now due to some critical persona reasons.

Need help !! Toxicity at workplace

NEVER EVER
Compromise on your sleep

Its simply not worth it

Messes up your mental health , energy levels, social battery, skin quality, digestion, and even hormones to a certain extent (cant vouch for female hormones as I am a guy, but I did feel the hormonal instability once I started neglecting my sleep)

A few days is fine
But the moment you let yourself chronically mess up your sleep cycle under the pretext of productivity, you'll start to realize how fragile the human body is.

Trust me , I have been there and it has been a nightmare to get back on track. I hope you guys never go through what I went through :)

As adults, we have very few avenues of joy anyway,  and sleep I believe is one of them so fall in love with your sound sleep !!!!!!!!!!
