It’s quiet, it’s peaceful, but I have a terrible sleep schedule. I’d like to fix it but at the same time I love the solitude and calmness at night. Anyone else in the same boat? Did you fix your sleep schedule?

Early morning is just as good. I sleep early but get up at 5-6am…getting up with the sun is also pretty relaxing and nobody gets up early here.

I’ve had trouble with my sleep schedule for months now. Awake till 4-5am sleeping till 12-1pm… really difficult to change.
I used to get really tired from my meds at night but not anymore. just tired in the morning. I might need to start taking them in the morning or something, i’ll have to talk with my doc.
Good man how are you? Yeah i’m done with youtube. just not for me anymore.

I like how quiet it is in the middle of the night. I used to be an early riser, but I work midnights now, so I am up all night, every night, even on my nights off. I don’t get to enjoy much of the quiet and solitude the nights I work, but on my two nights off I enjoy it. It can be nice going to a 24-hour grocery store late at night, too; the shelves aren’t always stocked as well as during the day, but at least I don’t have to deal with crowds of people.

Bedtime at my house is rarely before 4AM, wakey time is about 1PM, pretty standard for me anymore.
It started innocently enough, but stuck hard and difficult to change, it just seems to be the way I am.
Biggest problem is getting to the stores before they close, or getting over to my mom’s before dinnertime. After dinner she winds down and prepares for bedtime at 10PM.
She always asks “What in the world is there to do at night that you cant’t do during normal hours?”

that’s pretty much the same schedule for me. Expect I sleep about 11-12 hours straight every single night. I tried switching meds several times with really bad results because of the excess sleep, but I had to go back to seroquel. It works but again I sleep like 11-12 hours straight.
I’m an online student so it doesn’t really matter when I do my work as long as I get it done before the day its due. So I guess my schedule doesn’t really matter either. My parents don’t really give me any grief about it, they know the meds make it really hard and they know I like to stay up late. I like it though like I said, I just kinda wish I had a more normal schedule.

I usually go to sleep early and wake up a little past midnight. Got to love the silence. No one’s moving or talking, my tactiles aren’t that jumpy. It’s bliss.

The only way I broke this schedual was to do a ‘hard reset,’ meaning get up out of bed at 630AM, get out of the house by730AM, and stay out of the house until after dinner. Then get home, clean the house, then go to bed.
-Rinse and repeat.
Every day, no excuse.
It hurts the first week, but it gets easier after that, it has to, because it sure sucks hard that first week.
Unfortunately, I slide right back into the same bad routine once I stop.

I used to have a bad sleep schedual before I got married. Yes I loved the peace of midnight and early morning. But to be honest, I made no use of this period of peaceful time, just sat there killing time. Not productive at all. After I got married and had children, I followed a normal schedual of everyday life. Now I found the surrounding during the day is more lovely than it is at night. It may not be very quiet, but it is more lively, more vibrant with sun shining, birds flying and traffic moving. Now I love daytime much more.

Yes I think the night is quiet and peaceful also…but my sleep patterns changes sometimes so I get to stay up during the day. I think if you stay up at night all the time then it’s not good.

Do you like your job freakonaleash?
Well, I have two jobs, one that I like (part-time teaching), and one that I’m just ok with, though the pay sucking is the worst part of it (full-time midnight shift at a gas station). I have only three contact hours/week at my teaching job this semester so, even though my hourly pay rate is very high, it won’t add up to much. Every bit helps, though.

That’s great you have two jobs. Seems successful and a big deal to me that you have jobs., because I can’t work right now. So are you in a better situation now with paying the bills?
I suppose I will be once the teaching pay starts. We get paid just once a month, so it will be a few weeks of making long drives to campus, burning a lot of gas, before I get my first pay. Getting through January is going to be a challenge. Even with teaching pay things will be tight, though.
oh I hope that works out.
I’m curious do you sleep while on the job. A lot of times gas stations are not open between 2 or 4 in the morning and they put signs on the door and it says closed due to cleaning the store but you don’t see them cleaning. I assume they are sleeping. I don’t think you are lazy. I was just wondering.
No, I am always wide awake during my shift, and our door is always unlocked. The only way I would lock it would be if I needed to sit on the toilet for a few minutes lol.
