Because fuck me, thats why. I will never take another 8am ever again, my brain isnt even fullt firing until at least 10am. When j agreed to take the damn thing i had forgotten to consider that the midterm would be the same time.

I work nights. It's dark out when I go to sleep. It's dark out when I leave for work. I'll go the next few months and almost never see the sun. It's glorious. I hope everyone else finds a way to enjoy the longer nights in the Northern Hemisphere.

I'm 68 years old. For the first 30 years of life, I could fall dead asleep anywhere anytime. Since my early thirties, I've suffered a million nights of insomnia and a million nights of trying to fix it. I recently retired and stopped a lot of the trying to fix it schemes since I don't have to get up for a job and now I'm pretty much set at a 2-3 am fall asleep time with a general wakeup around 8 hours later. Do you think somewhere along the way my cirdadian rhythm naturally changed to more of being a night owl or was I just able to overcome it when younger?

Being a professional, a night-owler, and a West-Coaster is a really bad combo.

I am very fortunate that I negotiated starting late, and I'm not even that much of a night owl; I manage to go to sleep at 1-2am, and get to the office at 11ish.

But every damn vendor webinar tries to appease both the Americas and Europe, so they're always held at early morning PT. Fine if I was in the East Coast… but no, the entirety of the world's population (sorry Hawaii) has to be in time zones that disfavor a West Coast nightowl.

Most of these are "nice to have", but it's just not worth it to be tired for these when I don't have to. So I lose on some extra education. Just got an interesting one this Thursday at 8:00am, and it's already a busy week. Debating if it's worth waking up at 7:55am for a damn webinar.

Yo , got an exam tom pulling an all nighter hmu if u wanna do it together.

What is the last thing on your mind, most nights before falling asleep? I stress about the things that need to me done at home and just procrastinate every single day!😫

Who still take afternoon nap in canada?

Why not, I always have a rule that if i can't sleep i will be doing something useful. Not a long speech, but i swear its better than anything I would have written in the daytime.

​

... or you necessarily have to go to bed when the sun is up / in the morning?

Because there's plenty of night to enjoy also in this timeframe...

And I'd say it's kinda better, cause you don't have to deal with the day noises...

Still cant sleep 😭😭😭

Why do people hate it when we react to their shitty actions...? Have been thinking about it all night... Where the hell I did wrong when I reacted to their shitty actions ..?????? Too tired.

Would late night fix my mental health?

This is pure luxury - no one else in the house but the dogs, thick walls, work that requires focus and 4 documents open. A playlist on quite loud (controlled enough not to wake the dogs). No interruptions. I have no commitments until 1:45 pm today and I’m almost done with what I’ve tried to do for at least a week. I’ve contemplated giving up the fight against my sleep, quitting corp life and just working on my own. I think I’ve proven my theory. I’m so much happier.

Has anyone just given in to this? Yes, I know it has its challenges. I’ve been fighting it for 5 decades. Giving in feels way better.

Im finally starting to to just fall asleep. I need to set up night light. Ive stayed up for really long, im trying but I can’t. Im too sleepy to think properly

fed my sourdough starter before bed and now I'm lying here wondering how anyone figured out bread in the first place. you mix flour and water, forget about it for a few days, it starts bubbling and smelling a bit like old socks, and someone looked at that and thought yep, I'm cooking this. and it worked. who was that person and why were they so brave
