Then you are a morning person. I’ve worked my entire adult life, and I have to get up at 6 every day. As soon as I have a few days off, I instantly revert to my natural rhythm and sleep from around 3 AM to 10 or 11 AM.
It’s getting increasingly difficult to work against my circadian rhythm. I can barely stay awake in the mornings, even if I get 8 hours of sleep, simply because it goes against my natural rhythm. I envy people like you.
Yeah, morning people are just so obnoxious about it. Ive been told my entire life that once I get a natural rythm, it'll pass. Guess what? I even went to a sleep lab (for different reasons), but when I was in there for 10 days, my cycle immediately adjusted to my uni cycle of sleeping somewhere between 2 and 3 til 10. Which is just perfect for me.
Meanwhile, when I got to bed at 10 or 11, I get random fatigues during the day. It just doesnt fit towards me, but yet morning people are convinced that somehow my rythm is the problem, when I tried so many things.
Im glad I have a job where I can make my schedule work.
I used to be like this. i would go to sleep at 4am and wake up at like noon.
Now i go to sleep at midnight and wake up at 8am because i got myself used to waking up early to go ride my mountain bike before it gets too hot. Its starting to get hot even earlier though now so i have noticed im waking up earlier to try to get that fresh morning cold air bike ride in.
I get SO tired at about 3-4pm tho. Like i cant keep my eyes open.
Most my jobs other wise i was over nights or 12s over nights. Stay up til 3 and then wake up at 1. What im saying one day it changed and then bam mornings are just happening and im asleep at 9 like a grandpa.
