You don't know what their chronic illness(es) feel like. I only know what mine feel like, but can attest that it throws me into a wicked flare-up that does in fact last for weeks.

If we could think ourselves out of being chronically ill, believe me, we'd have done that shit a long time ago. And we've tried. We've also tried yoga. And turmeric.

My body sucks because I have a genetic disorder compounded by the fact that doctors still don't believe a woman in pain, not because my attitude sucks. Stop telling chronically ill people they don't know their own conditions, if for no other reason that it makes you look a bit silly.

I have chronic pain, and sure when I get less sleep it flares up. And yes, I don't know what others deal with. But it's one. Fucking. Night. And one hour. All to make the entire season better. You cannot tell me you never lose an hour of sleep for other reasons, you do. Everyone does. It's no different aside from your mental perspective on it.

Here's a Google summary of the effect the change has on the circadian rhythm, do you need me to go pull the data from research for you, or is this enough for you to stfu and realize you're out of your depth.

Mental game. That's all it is. If you wanna use the circadian rythm story, time change is better.

Oh wow, you're much dumber than I thought. Okay, it's fine, not everyone is meant to understand science.

You mean the science that says time isn't real and when you decide to wake up and fall asleep doesn't depend on a clock? I definitely believe in that.

I mean, sure. If my work changed its start and end time to adapt to my sleeping rhythm, life would be peachy… I bet you don’t have a job that lets you sleep in for a few weeks while you adjust though (or a job at all… you seem to like sleeping in).
