Re: Sleep schedule

[(Anonymous)]

I have a severe circadian rhythm disorder, and up until last spring I tended to go to bed around 6AM and get up around 2PM, though at my worst I would have periods of going to be at 8AM and getting up at 4PM. It was miserable, but I couldn't change.

Last spring I got officially diagnosed with Delayed Sleep Phase Disorder, and the sleep specialist prescribed me medication and a sleep-entrainment routine to help manage my disorder. It worked uncommonly well for me, and I've now been getting up consistently at 9AM since last July.

I'd say I manage to get to sleep by or before 2AM most nights, though there are definitely times where I get caught up doing something and I just can't make myself stop, so I end up staying up later and paying the price the next day. Also, I have stress-induced insomnia, so if I'm stressed about something then I may well not sleep at all, or only nod off around 5 or 6AM.

I definitely need an alarm clock, yes. I can't even imagine not needing an alarm clock. God, it would be so wonderful.

I don't know what my ideal is. I'm so much happier now than I was when I was getting up at 2PM, and I would honestly love to push it even a bit earlier, but I don't think I can do that in a sustainable way that doesn't involve major sleep-deprivation. So I guess my current routine is as close to ideal for me as it really gets. *shrug*
