I suffer from a condition known as Non 24-Hour Sleep Wake Disorder, which from my experience is not something most people seem to have heard of before. So, I thought for the sake of spreading awareness I might do a thread explaining what exactly this disorder IS and how it works #n24 #non24 #non24hoursleepwakedisorder
Sleep specialists are not always accepting that #Non24 happens in sighted people. They've only heard of it happening in blind people (70% of blind people have Non24). So it's still difficult to get an accurate diagnosis. Thankfully, for the past 8 years I've seen changes.
also i wish #animalcrossing was more playable when im in nightowl phase

Non-24-Hour Sleep-Wake Disorder (Non-24) is real. For many totally blind people, the body's internal clock can't reset daily without light. This means the sleep cycle constantly shifts, leading to periods of severe insomnia and daytime sleepiness. It's not just "bad sleep hygiene", it's a chronic condition.

"Icy wind" often doesn't even begin to describe my feelings of social isolation and being stuck in "pre-adulthood life".

Cant find money freelancing anymore, cant find professional mental/life help to help me find+keep a job, lately I really just feel abandoned by everyone.
No irl friends since... school really. 😭

Often I wish I lived in some small town without cars and all this complicated technological/societal mess that's demanded of us.

@nekoow7 yeah, sleep paralysis really sucks. I had it on an almost nightly basis for the better part of a decade starting in my early teens. With me, I suspect it’s related to #Non24 disorder and it has largely gone away ever since I stopped trying to follow a normal 24 hour day.

I still get it once in a while, but they stopped being scary after the first decade. After that they were just uncomfortable. These days, they rarely happen and they’re more annoying than anything else.

The monsters with hot feet standing on me are long gone. I even breathe just fine. There’s no pressure on my chest. I just can’t move.

In the rare times it happens, my only concern is being able to get back to sleep quickly.

It turns out that medicine only works if you actually swallow it instead of absent-mindedly leaving it on the bedside table. Who knew? And now my already wildly erratic sleep has been delayed another 5 hours, because rebound is a thing. #insomnia #justchatting #chronicillness #non24
