Damn, I don't have any disorder or anything, but you just discribed my childhood exactly; reading til 2/3am every night because the only other option was just sitting around for hours until it was the Correct Sleep Time™. I remember actually recording how long I slept every week night for a semester (basically just writing down the last time I remembered seeing on the clock the next morning) when I was about 15 because no one believed that that was how I got by. I legit kept a chart. It ended up averaging out to about 4 hours a night, no idea how it never impacted school or health or anything - or maybe it did, who knows.
Sympathies, comrade, I hope you can find something that accommodates you in life. :ancom-heart:
oh yeah, I made one of those charts to. It's called Delayed Sleep Phase Disorder and just based on personally talking to people online I think it might be one of the most undiagnosed disorders out there. Do you have ADHD by any chance? Just out of curiousity bc it's often comorbid, it's actually how I found out I have ADHD
Well fuck. My university kind of had to, legally, give some of us learning disorder screenings if we were showing symptoms of stuff - mine came up 90+% chance of dyslexia, so thats what i went of and got diagnosed with. it also showed a ~70% chance of ADHD, but official ADHD tests are way more expensive, so they decided it was "probably" unlikely for someone to have both and so that they wouldn't pay for both tests :agony-deep:
So thats a very solid maybe on having ADHD, if only for-profit mental healthcare hadn't intervened. Thanks for the link though, nice to know there's a term for it at least.
