Little do you know that there’s a hidden, 3rd option I take every night: just don’t fix your sleep schedule
Or maybe option 4?
Taking a bunch of edibles to make you sleepy at the right time
I got CBD oil the other week. Shit’s been great so far. Makew going to bed at the right time feel so natural
I thought about this as well, but don’t know anything about CBD, which product or concentration do you use?
Going to throw in my edible suggestion because it is the only thing that’s ever worked for me personally: Mr. Moxey’s mints. They make a high CBD one with valerian root. I try to take them an hour or so before bed. Just CBD or just sleepy tea has never worked for me but the combo seems to do the trick.
Its currently 7am. I woke up at 10am.
I’ve been on nightshift for 5 years and I don’t know when I’m supposed to sleep anymore
“Sleeping early” ha, no such thing. Just setting yourself up to stare at the ceiling.
We’re supposed to force ourselves to get up still dead tired instead even if we didn’t get much and “eventually” says the doctor, “you will get tired enough to sleep on time”. LIES. ALL LIES.
I read somewhere people with ADHD often have either a delayed circadian rhythm or one thats longer than 24 hours. No amount of pigeonholing life into the usually prevalent circadian rhythms is going to fix that I think.
Startup idea: We slow down the earth’s rotation to adhere to these longer cycles.
Yep, that’s what I was told every time I brought up my sleep issues. Yeah, it’s been a few decades and surprise it’s never worked. Overtired me tends to be awake for longer. And then when I eventually crash, because it is inevitable, I crash HARD and sleep for 10+ hours completely dead to the world. Thankfully so far I haven’t slept through anything super important. I can only go to sleep quickly if I run myself absolutely ragged.
Same. My brain doesn’t want to sleep “early” even if I have gone all week on less than 3 hrs each night, and waking early is pure hell. But staying up and then letting my crash hit at a time I know I will then wake when I -want- to is almost trivial if nobody interferes.
Yep, like just like everything else, not everything works for everyone. I’ve been awake for 26+ hours to the point I’m hallucinating and still unable to fall asleep. But apparently I just have to wait till I’m tired enough. As if being awake for 26 hours straight isn’t enough? I also can generally make it so I can be awake at the right time if left to my own devices. Which is why I’m really glad I’m out of my parents house, because they would decide “you’ve been sleeping long enough” and wake me up an hour after I fell asleep.
I do this multiple times a month. I’m going to die early
I’ve been on a bender bro. Started sometime around 2021. Would not recommend, the days start to blend together and I’ve lost track of days countless times. Every once in a while I get 8.5 hours of sleep in the daytime and when I wake up I despair for the many weeks I’ve spend in a half asleep fugue state.
Ok so you’re definition of bender might be very different from mine because normally a bender is like, 2 weeks. You need sleep meds bro, they’re life changing
I know what you mean about days blending together though. Do you ever get really paranoid? I feel like I’m 6 walking through a dark house again after a 48 hours of not being able to sleep
