The one thing about my neurotype that bothers me sometimes is my night owlness.
If I have no mandated early morning thing I will not go to sleep. Despite my best intentions to do that. Just today I had a free day, but had a morning appointment and by noon I was amazed at *all the day I have left *because I got up sooner.
I love nights. I love the darkness and the solitude, I love how silent it is and how safe and like myself I feel when everyone else is sleeping. And I’ve always been like this. As a kid I read books in bed until morning, as I grew up I watched whatever was on on tv until the wee hours. There were the gaming years as well and now I browse the internet.
There is no real point to this rant. I suppose it would just be nice to have more time in my freedays, but I also don’t want to give up my nights of solitude or patholozise what I have always been like.
Agree with the true-thing. I too have been like this from a wee kid. My parents had a hard time getting me up from toddler whereas my sibling is a morning person. My dad is like me and my mom like my sibling. It caused inredible conflits in our family as my mom is not a nice person and she’d harass me awake out of spite on weekends.
I too wish I could just work nights, I used to, but my current job is very much office hours.
