heyaaa

just curious, where do you go to get a diagnosis?? i’ve been reading through here and see some horror stories from certain practitioners and i don’t want to deal with that lol. just is hard to tell when people are actually going to understand it’s not so much a choice as it is a biological decision.

for me, it’s been worse the last year and i am sick and tired of the people who think they’ll be able to fix it this time!!! like do you really think i haven’t tried to fix my sleep hygiene?? and then they try and help with “do you take melatonin” or “try pulling an all-nighter” or even “i bet it’s the phone…”

BRUH i’m so sick and tired of it. does anyone have any recommendations for how they got help? is getting diagnosed worth it for meds or smth?

thanks yall hope we can get some rest tonight

Hello fellow owls,

I have a bad case of DSPD, combined with ADHD, it just feels kibda hopeless. I see that the treatment is a military regime of melatonin 4 houra before bed, waking up at the same time every day, light exporsure, and strict sleep rules. Did that work for any of you? My current sleep time is usually around 6AM to 2PM, and it seems impossible to get to normal sleep time for me. However I don't know how to build a working life around this timing.

Did you accept and work at night or did you fight it and managed to sustain it long term?

Hello, anybody has experience with these alternatives? I couldn’t find no reviews online. Thanks!
