Any night owls around these days?

Hey, I really struggle with my sleep schedule so I'll be sleeping on and off all day and be awake for a good portion of the night. Usually spend this glorious alone time gaming.

Loud electric kettle noises? Or does your family have a super strong sense of smell? Being up all night I get hungry at irregular hours, and have found out just how strong my family's sense of smell is from two floors away (my parents sleep in the loft).

Yeah shopping first thing in the morning definitely feels best. You also get the staff right as they're starting their shift, so the energy is often more relaxed. I could browse around, pick up a book, stop at a Greggs for what I guess would be dinner, and throw some pastry to the birds.

That certainly is another stone on the pile, I can see that. Were you able to meet with that person you were looking to reconnect with?

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- '

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.
