Not waking up until 2 pm

I believe that I'm undergoing a shutdown.

I don't wake up until, at least, 2 pm most days; and I miss out on so much.

Traditionally, I'm more productive at nighttime. As a young boy, I had no issues getting up in the morning; it was after graduation that I lost out on so much.

My expectations didn't help matters either. I was expected to have a job, wife and kids after growing up. Now, I feel like a mess.

We are the only animal on the planet that wakes up in the morning because, we are awoken by an alarm clock. Every other animal sleeps as much as it needs to, or when the sun comes up. Some are obviously nocturnal, I often don’t sleep, anxiety and brain processing everything is often too much. I use audiobooks though the night. This happens for days and then I shutdown into sleep mode, I then have to work and want to sleep.

I’m lucky to be self employed, I struggle to make any money, autism landed on me 16 months ago. I still struggle, but to know why I never fitted in for 50+ years has finally given me a life. I am still struggling, not knowing was much worse. I tend to have sleep tea and a Nytol 50mg. They are available as 25mg. Obviously I’m not advocating them, they just help me.
