Any night owls around these days?

Sleep hygiene is a tough bet when your mind doesn't wanna shut down when you go to bed. My GP had me using this app that was supposed to improve my sleep hygiene, but all it really cared about was how long I was spending in bed and awake. One time I had insomnia real bad. Flopped into bed for that good good 40 minutes of sleep. Rolled right out of bed and recorded my findings. I was met with confetti and celebration for making such huge progress, purely because I passed out quick and got up quick.

Sleep problems are pretty common with NeuroDivergents. I myself was awake until 6am this morning. Part of the issue is our over-active minds. Apparently when NeuroTypical people go to bed, their minds shut down pretty quickly and they nod off straight to sleep. Even when I'm at my most exhausted, I'm lucky if I fall asleep within 30 minutes.

Props for the friendliness, by the way.

why do you have poor sleep I am the same way and I only stay up till midnight and not at 1am and maybe we be friends and I like to get know you

I'm a female, Because of my female body I have estrogen and proestrogen problems now. I'm reading and writing.. Also I'm happy tomorrow i will see my favourite one.. I haven't seen her since 3 months and 12 days.. 

I''ll often stay up to the early hours of the morning. I've never had particularly good sleep hygiene. To quote my late father- '

I find night too silent .... sometimes sr night I feel like something noisy will happen like once I had a feeling someone was going to run past screaming lol not sure why o guess silence is too much sometimes  I mean I like silence just not silence and darkness all at once 

Yes I have a poor sleep pattern 

Hey both of you

I am around, it’s one of those unfortunate nights for me I’m afraid. I have my sons assessment buzzing around in my head which seems to be quite consuming atm. As you said Oran the ambiance at night is great, so peaceful and quiet. Usually if I wake early I would go straight for a cuppa but at this hour my family would not appreciate that! 

I guess if you’re going out to do some shopping that’s a great time to go…. Before all the stampeding buffalo come crashing through the doors. 

I like the night ambiance, myself. Heck, if my sleep is bad enough, I can be still awake the next morning and take a walk around stores right as they open, long before any place becomes busy.

I prefer not be a night owl but working assorted hours it's a necessity sometimes
