What the fuck, I'm not having sex so what am I supposed to do with that?
if you're anything like me, it's because you feel a lack of freedom during the day you only know how to enjoy after midnight since no one will bother you that late
yep, you have complete freedom when its dark and everyone is asleep - though i still just shitpost.
adhd probably. i've heard having it shifts your natural circadian rhythm back by a couple hours
If you have insurance it might cover the costs. I got diagnosed a few years ago, now I get Adderall prescriptions.
Yes, we live in a hellish world. I went from being broke on Medicaid and getting my pills for free, to an Obamacare plan and having to ration my meds due to cost. Now I'm in a better place financially AND have better insurance, which is just so fucking stupid. It's a horrible country.
My God, that's barbaric. States that didn't expand Medicaid expansion should have their leaders put on trial for crimes against humanity.
The ACA is such a dogshit plan. Medicaid expansion saved so any lives, but do Dems take the concept of Medicaid expansion and apply that logic to the entire population? Of course not.
Cruelty must be baked into the system.
I can't for the life of me sleep twice a day and if I do I feel sick. In all my post-toddler life I must have slept twice within a day like, a total of 20 times. However I sleep very weird hours. Unfortunately that means I am frequently not getting enough sleep. During the quarantine I've managed to get enough sleep but that's only because I sleep at like 3-5AM and wake up at 10AM-1PM. And that's only because I actively try to sleep "early", I think if I let myself go I would sleep at dawn.
Thing is, exam season is starting soon so I will have rigid schedule stuff.
despite what normies will tell you, some people aren’t diurnal, so you might not be either
I often feel that's the case for me. But then again there's also the fact that night time is so much more relaxing and less anxiety-inducing. Nobody's gonna call you, nobody's gonna knock on the door, and there's less noise too. It's more peaceful.
Gonna start an independent socialist nation that runs on delayed sleep phase time. Every attack will be a surprise attack because the enemy is always sleeping :che-smile:
Guess I'll add that to the pile of weird shit going on with my body together with my allergy to cold and my ability to make my eyeballs vibrate...
Weird. I've heard of heat rash but cold allergies? Also, you can make your eyes vibrate? I can do that with my skull but not my eyes. Does it hurt?
cold allergies?
Yes, it comes and goes, one year it's there the next isn't. It's called cold urticaria and it's supposed to be super rare but my cousin also has it so maybe it might be a genetic thing. If it is really cold or I swim in cold water for too long I start getting rashes which start from my hands and back.
Also, you can make your eyes vibrate? I can do that with my skull but not my eyes. Does it hurt?
Oh I can also make my skull vibrate but I believe that's more common. It doesn't hurt at all but I can't do it for very long, I get "tired" after a while. I'm not sure if vibrate is the best word, it's like they're moving from side to side really really rapidly and that's kind of what I see when I do it. It creeps a lot of people out because it kinda looks like I am possessed lol
That's what it looks like: https://youtu.be/yY3cXOhyU0U https://youtu.be/jPQcyqXbVhA
Sorry to hear about your urticaria. The eyeball trick is pretty cool though
Eh it's not so bad, thankfully it is mild and the rashes don't even itch that much. Also I live in Greece where you can walk around in a t-shirt throughout most of December so really it's rarely a problem. I had to quit windsurfing when it first started though because I got rashes all the time and I was worried about a worse reaction.
Its all made up, look at other mammals. Are they up at 7 in the morning? Are they doing anything useful for 8 hours? No ,they're on their ass having a nap most of the time. This combined with the fact that humans used to sleep in two 5 hour segments before light bulbs were invented proves to me that there's no such thing as a morning person and it's all Capitalist claptrap
It's called ADHD. There's a website for people like you called c h a p o t r a p h (ah you get the thing, I never finish anything)
If you're supplementing VitD, and you should be, taking it late in the day can give an energy boost apparently. Like as if you sat under a bright blue light late at night. It could mess with your circadian rhythm.
Seems to make sense on a broscience level. Think I read this in one of the many articles recently connecting VitD deficiency and covid.
A blue light blocker on your screens in the evening is usually recommended to avoid sleep disturbance also.
I always start getting motivated to work on the things that inspire me like an hour before bedtime.
"Schedule"? What's a "schedule"?
Are you telling me that during lockdown you people have an actual schedule and a functional perception of time?
From my own experience, the only way to develop a "normal" sleep schedule for someone like you (and me) is basically to adopt a somewhat rigid schedule in terms of getting up and going to sleep at the same time every day.
A couple things that have helped for me are setting an alarm every day and getting up when it goes off, no caffeine after about 2-3 PM, and turning off the lights after about 9 PM, and getting into bed around the same time every night.
I almost never drink anything with caffeine. I've drank coffee a total of 3 times in my whole life lol. Occasionally I drink some tea but it's not common so this can't be the reason. Also what's very weird is that it never feels like it gives me energy, if anything the few times I drink tea it makes me more sedate. Last time I drank coffee was 2 years ago and it made me sleepier somehow. For some reason caffeine has a weird effect on me.
Turning off the lights may work though.
I was just thinking in order of how my day goes and not necessarily in order of how important they are. Turning off the lights probably helped me more than anything else followed by getting up at the same time every day. I made a post about how candles helped me get onto a regular sleep schedule a while ago and I was told how bad candles were by people who apparently light jarless/uncontained candles on top of stacks of newspaper.
I started waking up to an alarm 7 days a week. It has helped me wake up earlier for work. Unfortunately, my sleep time is still 4am so I end up almost fainting from exhaustion at random times in the afternoon/evening. I'm not sure it's an improvement, but at least I don't miss morning meetings.
I found that the other half of that equation for me was turning all the lights off by 9 PM or so, or just having on lights with a very yellow/orange hue like an Edison bulb or candles. Also occasional melatonin. I was using valerian root for a bit and I might try it again as it seemed to work but maybe it was placebo. Do you drink caffeine late in the day?
No, I never wake up earlier than 1PM with 10-12AM being more common, and I never sleep twice a day or even nap.
Sorry I meant to say "later". I never wake up LATER than 1PM. And I usually wake up around 10-12AM when I have nothing to do.
