Wrong Planet.
Either I am posting, replaying to a post, or looking for an article to post when I notice the sun is up and wonder how that happened.

... My screwed up on weekly basis circadian rhythm.

My input sensitivity that messes up my circadian rhythm.
It could be anything; heartburn, some sugar, an exciting movie I binged, funny ideas instead of falling asleep at all, hormones, humidity, gravity...

My already messed up breathing.
In which the causes are just as confusing, only more times frustrating.
It won't matter if I'm genuinely falling asleep; I may sneeze, choke on something watery and cough, unable to breathe through my nose even if there's nothing in there...


The rest makes more sense: special interests, hyperfocus, intense emotions, excitability, desire to finish the unfinished, ill-timed caffeine...
Or nothing because I don't like sleeping. Because of mentioned above.

Given the current weather conditions in Oregon right now,
the ongoing heat that will increase very much beginning this Friday. 8O

The temperature in Portland this Saturday could be at or close to 100 degrees. 8O

It's going to be 100 degrees on Sunday here. I've also been having trouble sleeping, so I'm not looking forward to Sunday night at all.

Even air conditioning at my home hasn't been much of a help. :roll:

My boyfriend's sudden movements, coughs and snoring.

My phone (because the internet is so addictive).

My bladder (as already mentioned).

My hay fever if I haven't taken an antihistamine pill (I have hay fever all year round).

.... A desire to be awake when it's dark.

I get my second wind when the sun goes down. I'd rather sleep during daylight.

What causes me insomnia in general? Sensory problems (textures, sounds, temperature). I've been taking prescription sedatives every night for years now, so I don't have to worry about insomnia.

I was def like this when I lived with my parents. Part of the reason why was so we could avoid each other more. My mom was very stressed out working in in a job that was nice at 1st but had rapidly gone downhill the longer she was there. I'm disabled & I have worked some but the best jobs I could do were minimum wage type stuff & I was very lucky to even get those jobs. I almost never heard back after submitting job apps. My mom resented me for not working cuz she can NOT relate to being disabled & there's a huge generational gap from when she was looking for work after graduating high-school & me looking for work after I graduated high-school. She felt I was lazy & blamed me for her not being able to retire from a job she disliked & hated at times towards the end. I was NOT happy with the situation but my best efforts to try & improve & make progress were NOT working. I was just running in place & did not have any supports & services willing & able to help me with things. It was better for me to be up at night so I could avoid mom more. When she did see me she complained about me being a recluse & blamed my routine sleep & wake schedule for me not having a job which had nothing to do with the reasons I was not working. Yes the job I had the longest involved me working overnight but working overnight was NOT the reason why I took that job. The other two jobs I had involved me working in the day time & that was fine too. Anyways it was better for both me & mom when I avoided her more. I also really liked having time to myself knowing I would not be interrupted by my parents for anything.

Part of why I have this schedule nowadays is cuz I'm living with my girlfriend & she has weird fluctuating sleep & wake schedules. She generally likes having time to herself for a couple hours when she 1st wakes up. She likes spending time with me before she goes to bed in the early morning. She also tends to take a nap after being up a couple hours & that can make things more complicated. It works better if I go to bed a couple hours after she goes to bed in the early morning & when I wake up I just stay up till a couple hours after she goes to bed in the early morning.

I don't have much problems falling asleep & staying asleep nowadays but there were various times in my life when I did. The main cause was emotional stuff like my depression, OCD, & anxiety that were very bad. I was also very lonely & hated being single & sleeping alone. & when I wasn't single, being in a long distance relationship was very difficult as well & i hated being away from them & sleeping alone. I had some sleep disorders that were acting up including Sleep Paralysis & Night Terrors. I'm much better off in a serious romantic relationship that is not long distance. Being on the psych meds I'm on helps my OCD & anxiety a lot & probably my depression as well. Tiredness/drowsiness is also a potential side-effect of my meds.
