I can’t help but wonder if I have somewhat messed up circadian rhythms.
I will be… exhausted and tired all day. I have trouble waking up before 10am (sometimes before 1pm or later). I can be working and it’ll be say 8pm (we close at 9) and I’ll be just dead on my feet tired.
And then for some reason, when it turns dark I become more calm, yet more alert. Less irritated. I have trouble falling asleep or getting sleepy prior to 4am if I don’t take anything to fall asleep after.
I’m thinking of trying sleeping pills, since amitriptaline will only work for so long before it stops making me tired.
… that being said, a psychology professor once said in “there is no such thing as a night owl.” He went on to “There are people more inclined to staying up late, however sooner or later everyone will show decreased performance and cognitive ability as a result of staying up very late or all night.”
So I can only wonder if it’s just all in my head.
