Does anyone here deal with this?
I remember, in my younger years, getting great rest when I slept during typical night hours (11PM-6AM).
Somewhere along the way, my internal clock broke and now my "ideal" sleep hours are probably 8AM-Noon. If I can stay up all night and go to bed around 6AM, I feel freaking fabulous once I wake up. When I sleep during "night hours", I wake up just worn out and exhausted.
The sleep doctors here are all just CPAP peddlers now, so I haven't been able to get a confirmation that I have this DSPD.
I understand this is a common problem for anyone who did shift work.
