Regarding the hour

[prog]

A weblog from someone with similar sleep patterns as me, but putting some actual research into it, including consulting physicians. One gave the person an actual diagnosis I have not heard of before: Delayed Sleep-Phase Syndrome.

That certainly gives me pause for thought. I was also struck by the writer's description of spending hours lying awake after being sent to bed, as a child. By gar, my own bedtimes were just so, night after night. I haven't thought about it in a long time, but I absolutely remember the truth of it. Have I been shifted forward like this my whole life?

And now that I have a new straw to grasp at, should I try again to do something about it?

Yeah. My own shifted schedule works well for me as a grad student. When I get an actual job, of course...well, we'll see.

My friend silkblade also has DSPS. Unfortunately, when I went to MIT Medical a few years ago about it, the doctor there was so condescending and dismissive that it soured me on trying to do anything about it.
