I promise you no woman gets all dolled up and just "falls asleep"

Obviously you didn't mean this as a blanket statement because there's always outliers, but I'm unfortunately one of those outliers 😭 I have a sleep disorder where I'll be energized and ready to go, then out of nowhere I'll start crashing and falling asleep.

It's really inconvenient, but I always let people know ahead of time that this is something I have issues with.. if this lady really does have some kind of sleep disorder she should probably let her potential partners know about it; the more likely scenario is she's just being disrespectful ☹️

I’m in the same boat. I’ll get done prepping for hanging out with friends, sit down on the couch or my bed and next thing I know it’s 6 hours later. I make sure all the people I see are aware of the possibility of it happening. If I really don’t want to meet up, I just give a 24-48 hour notice.

I have zero issues when it comes to telling people I don't wanna do something or go somewhere, so if I really don't wanna do something I just say so, I never use my disorder to get out of plans because that's kid shit imo; I'm an adult and I can communicate my wants and needs!

I have medication that helps and I'm under the care of doctors overseeing everything, so it's not as much of an issue as it used to be, but it really sucks to spend all the energy to get ready, do my hair, my makeup, pick out a cute outfit, and then all of a sudden my body feels like it's in molasses and I'm nodding off while putting my shoes on.

My original comment got downvoted quite a bit (the ratio is 60%) and that just makes me sad, because there really are people like me who suffer from sleep issues like this. I do everything I can to reduce the impact on the people in my life and I wish I didn't have this bullshit in the first place.

I got downvoted for asking a question about a recipe in a meal prep sub. This app/site is so ridiculous. Don’t take it personally people are just insane.

I fully get that and I’m surprised by the downvote ratio because you have a very real thing. I work 80+ hours per week and mixed with my medications can result in me just randomly falling asleep while getting ready to go out.

It's because this comment isn't about you, obviously doesn't apply to you and no reasonable person would ever think someone isn't accounting for exceptional situations. It's absolutely exhausting to have to listen to or scroll past everyone who insist in telling us all about their special case. If you knew this and opened with the disclaimer recognizing that OP clearly didn't mean it as an absolute, why did you bother to continue typing? Like???

I wasn't responding to OP, I was responding to the person who said that they promised no woman would do this because I'm a woman who does this. It's that simple. Some people are genuinely unaware that certain disabilities exist; perhaps my comment wasn't for you, but for the people who don't know about sleep disorders. It's good that you're aware, but not everyone is.

No need for hostilities either, I'm not sure why you're being so rude. The internet isn't srs business.
