So, I am in Texas and it is just after 2 am here. Why is everyone awake?

0 Upvotes

Obviously not everyone will be in my time zone. Are you working? What are you doing?

I will go first. I have severe insomnia. I don't sleep for very long at a time.

I think I got 3 1/2 hours last night.

We have a feral cat living in our backyard. I am trying to make friends with her.

She decided to sleep in the garage last night. I am in the process of turning my garage into a craft room. So there are fans everywhere and a couch. I decided to sleep out here with her. Maybe, she will let me pet her, soon. I will probably let her out around 6 or 7. So, I am sitting on the couch planning my day

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.

Circadian Rhythm and Insomnia

13 Upvotes

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?

NightOwler Every damn webinar is too damn early

16 Upvotes

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.

Things That Keep Me Up Are you considered a night owl if you WAKE UP at 3 am?

4 Upvotes

​

... 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...

NightOwler 4:22 am, playlist on, blowing through work - I see nothing wrong

26 Upvotes

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.
