Question: is this like a sleep through any and all alarms or like a can't stay awake? I've lived my entire life with severe sleep issues, if you give me some specifics I might have some good tips
ah yeah so for me it turns out I had DSPD, idk if this sounds like you or not but that's been my experience. What I currently use is my alarm + natural light + natural daylight lights on timers (the ones for seasonal depression) + vibrating alarm clock under pillow + if I really need to get up the next day chugging water before bed so that I have to pee the second I wake up + absolute last resort: a screaming meanie alarm clock, 120db it works it just sucks to use
uhhh tbh I haven't yet (though I experience literally every symptom and have since early childhood and it's also commonly comorbid with ADHD which I also have so I'm fairly confident I do have it) bc it takes some time that I don't yet have but you need a sleep study with a dr who knows about circadian rythym disorders (found here)
This is really interesting, I have ADHD also and over the past year or so I've become a noticeably heavier sleeper. Not to the point where I sleep through alarms, but like my girlfriend's cats will no longer wake me up and she will get up and kick them out of the room and I will sleep through it. I figured it was just me getting old.
Also I usually am out within two minutes of my head hitting the pillow, one of my few superpowers.
Been there, it sucks. I started being able to do this around when I started exercising a lot so I initially thought that was the cause, but I haven't exercised much at all over the last year and if anything I've gotten better at it. I really have no clue why it happens.
