fossilesqueADHD Brains Show Strange Sleep-Like Activity During Everyday Tasks
🌞 Alexander Daychilde 🌞I wonder if this is related to my anecdata regarding neurospicy folks like me and problems with consistent bedtimes. I know I so easily get my circadian rhythm completely fucked up if I allow myself a nap when I get sleepy - no matter how long or short the nap. It just ruins me for days and days.
I’m glad they’re finding some stuff they can actively track, though. For the longest time it seemed diagnosis was solely based on subjective testing. I’d really like to see some objective things - just to shut up the deniers, if nothing else.
LePoissonInteresting I have a similar problem except it’s that I feel like I need to nap on the daily or it messes up everything for me.
Doesn’t matter if I nap or not though, I can’t go to bed early enough ever because I suck (and I like videogames too much and staying up late is how I can get alone time to play them).
I’ve heard of that phenomenon but I don’t remember what it’s called. But basically late night feels like the only “me” time we get so we delay going to bed because bed means jumping fast-forward to the next work day.
I view sleep as the finish to the day instead of the start of the next day like my partner told me he does. I thought about it for a minute after he said that bc it was so foreign to me, then I was like “then how do you ever feel rested?”
It seemed relevant when I started typing, but idk, I’m tired 😂
Makes sense to me :)
