Re: Any F!S People With Sleep Disorders?

[(Anonymous)]

I have that too, and the way I've dealt with it is by working afternoon/evening jobs almost exclusively. It's worked really well for me and I've been doing it for decades.

Re: Any F!S People With Sleep Disorders?

Yeah, this is apparently the advisable path for people with DSPD. Like, it's literally what most doctors who actually know about the disorder will advise you to do.

Unfortunately, I didn't realize my issue was incurable and also more than just some kind of personal failing on my part until I was 32. So I never took any steps to live on the disorder's terms because that always just seemed like failing to get my shit together. I have no degree or certifications, am not likely to have it in me to obtain a degree, and I've never done any kind of nightwork before. So like, I may look into jobs I can do at night. But it's hard to imagine finding anything that's not just going to be minimum-wage-forever kind of work (to be clear, I have no problem with starting at minimum wage, but if there's no opportunity for advancement then that's where I have a problem). Also, I'm on disability, so I don't strictly speaking have to have a job (yes, I know how fortunate I am, I am grateful for it every day). I'd certainly be in more of a hurry to take any night job I could get if I was starring down homelessness on the left or a sleep-deprivation-induced breakdown on the right, and I acknowledge that.

Unsolicited advice here - my first night shift job was with the USPS. They pay well (or did, not sure about now - I have fond memories of that job and my coworkers, and thus Louis DeJoy's BS pisses me off like you would not believe) and have lots of various positions that are worked overnight, sorting mail and whatnot. Good union, nice benefits, and personally I found it really rewarding to help get everyone's cards and letters where they needed to go. (I only left because my other health problems forced me out. :/)

Granted I don't know if you're in the US, but other postal/delivery services tend to have night shifts as well. My sis-in-law started with FedEx (working days, but still) last year and is absolutely living her best life, so seems like they also treat their people well.

So if you're inclined to look for a career, and one that works with your natural sleep cycle, that's a somewhat less obvious option that isn't minimum wage and has some opportunity for advancement.

Wow, thank you for this info! I'm in Canada and I don't know if it's the same here, but I will absolutely look into it!

Gonna be honest, a ton of night jobs don't require degrees and such. They are usually jobs you can do as long as you have a high school diploma and can learn. Look into dispatching (police, firefighters, truckers).
