I’ve said this before but I seriously wish there was not a massive social stigma and expectation to be awake during the day because different people have different biological clocks and some people are hardwired to be nocturnal and as one of those people I genuinely feel like I have the worst depression flair ups when I maintain a “normal” schedule.
I legitimately work night shift and my family knows this and still gives me shit for not waking up at ten like??? I get home at 6 am, I do not hate myself enough to only get four hours of sleep. I understand it’s not quite the same thing, but I just wanted to say that no matter the reason, you are 100% not alone in this.
dude you’re all good about it not being the same thing. I once went on a very long tangent about how the social stigma to be awake and productive during the day was freaking terrible for night shift workers so you are included in my bitterness towards societal norms
