I'm realizing that one of the reasons my sleep cycle is staying stubbornly lagged is that after ... maybe 8 years? my brain has finally learned how to filter out and thus sleep thru the complex set of wakeup alarms I came up with to combat such issues.
hopefully fixing this will only require some fiddling. I already have an alarm app which can demand math problems and puzzles to disable the alarm, I may just need to increase the complexity to wake me up more when solving them. #DSPD
I thought I got through the end of daylight savings without messing up my sleep, but here I am, wide awake at 3am. Delayed sleep phase strikes again. #dspd
Hit my ideal #sleep schedule last night π Where all my Delayed Sleep Phase people at? π #DSPS #DSPD #nightowl π¦
I would have done my French practise yesterday but my day was basically wake up, do a quick run to the Recycling Centre to dump stuff off for my sister, go to watch IDLES, and by the time I got home the day was done according to socio-chrono-norm abiding DuoLingo; despite me still having 7 hours of my day yet to go.

My current home screen is inspired by the UI design featured in cowboy bebop :)
it's always evolving so parts are unfinished, but a lot of the features are designed to help me manage my circadian rhythm sleep disorder
Not sure how it'll look after compression, but I'm really proud of the design work that went into it, its pretty much all custom made with KWGT and KLWP
Edit: had to post page 2 separately π

Exactly so. The number of times I've had to explain to healthcare professionals that I have a diagnosed sleep disorder and that no, I will not *ever* be able to make an appointment before 13:00 astounds me.
This will be unlikely to change, so simply offering me a different 09:00 appointment will not solve the problem. π
Any neurologists out there with a background in sleep research who would be willing to be interviewed for a CNET article on delayed sleep phase disorder/syndrome?
Iβve got a young writer who could use some help. Long shot, but if you see this message and would be willing to help with an interview, let me know. Thanks!

@sysop408 Re: movies & media relating to sleep
I recently stumbled upon an excellent depiction of DSPD in an episode of a series called "Modern Love". Specifically: S2 E2 - "The Night Girl Finds a Day Boy".
The series is excellent for many reasons. Each episode is a short-form vignette. The vignettes show lots of diversity, and "S1 E3" includes an accurate depiction of bipolar disorder.

It's reached that time of year where the sun gets up before I go to bed, which is always a little confusing. But at least I get to see some pretty sunrises.
After 41 hours of being awake and a week now of no more than 4 hours' sleep per day when I did manage to sleep, mostly 2 hours, my body and brain are finally saying "hmm, guess we could go to bed".
This is such a good thread! I delayed going to a sleep doctor for so long because I knew I wouldn't be able to sleep during an overnight sleep study, but it turns out there's a lot they can do for you even without the study, so it's still worth going...provided you can get an appointment at a time you're actually awake π #DSPD https://mastodon.lol/@skye/109605259223631145
Alright, #introduction time. I'm Steve, a software developer primarily writing a mixture of #elixir and #typescript. I'm interested in #SoftwareEngineering, #databases, #DistributedSystems.
I'm super into visiting #ThemeParks and I am a #RollerCoaster enthusiast. Music wise I really enjoy #retrowave, #HeavyMetal, #StonerMetal, #StonerRock, #PostRock.
I have #DSPD, a much misunderstood circadian rhythm sleep disorder, no I can't just go to bed earlier, yes the strange routine is essential.
And...breathe. Well done - we made it. After today, the days will start getting longer again.
Happy Winter Solstice!

@demilune When I first found out about #DSPD I thought my delay was about 3am but once I found myself in a situation where I could disconnect from societal pressures completely I discovered my delay was more like 5-6am. So 7am is just a little bit of a late night for me.
Turned out 3am being my 'normal' sleep time was the result of me applying various behavioural techniques to go to bed "early" and have 'good' sleep hygiene. Sleeping any earlier than that was purely down to sleep deprivation.
