Do you have your own "time zone"?

Post Reply New Topic

If I have nothing planned for the day, I usually end up sleeping 7am - 3pm. Im pretty sure I have sleep onset insomnia which would definately explain that.

I work so I have to be diligent about my sleep schedule. However, when I needn't be up at any particular time I go to bed between midnight and 2am and get up whenever.

I just got back from a trip for work where I stayed in a hotel. I had a hell of a time getting to bed at any reasonable hour, often an hour or so after midnight and up by 6:30-7am. I think that's because I can't segregate all the rooms like I normally do, with the tv in the living room, the computer in the den and the bed in the bedroom. It all bombards me and screws up my sleep.

I have two different time zones.

One is my internal clock -I stay up till three and sleep until 2:00pm.

The other is that I have a poor concept of the passage of time. I personally age very slowly, it's like I'm stuck at age twelve. Not only that but when I hear about events in history class it's like they happened thousands of years ago, not just a few decades.

I read that this happens to Autistics sometimes. Something about us only being able to live presently not really recognising the past or future events. I'm not sure how true that really is in that I can think of past events as long as I personally lived them or they happened within the year or month.

No, not a time zone legally enforceable within the time zone I am currently in, but if you are talking about bedtimes vs. rousing times, I could definitely give my answer.

I go to bed around 2-4 AM and wake up at 10-12 (closer to twelve) but my dad doesn't like the fact that I do that, he wants me to be around for a greater part of the day. I think my circadian rhythm is later because I tend to stay up later for anime on Saturdays (f*****g Adult Swim and the fact that they come on later in rural areas like NW Montana- Bleach starts at 2:00 AM (the first anime show)).

I really need some sort of "reform" to please my dad, but I can't bring myself to sacrifice Code Geass, the storyline is too riveting

No, I do things at set times.
Get up, eat breakfast and shower: Around 9am.
lunch: 12pm
snack: 3pm
dinner: 6pm
bed: 10:30pm.

I go to sleep around 5am. Wake up at 12:30 for work at 2pm. Except on Thursdays and Fridays when I have to get up at 8:30am for work.

Yes I do, I operate on a stretched time zone.

I find that when most people are getting ready for sleep is when i'm most alert. My ideal day would be about 28 hours long. Sadly the sun doesn't work to this schedule.

Left to my own devices my sleeping patterns are all over the place - some nights I don't want to sleep and I am awake all night and don't go to sleep until as late as 11am the next day, then sleep in the afternoon...I do that for a group of days then suddenly 'snap' out of it and have some nights going to bed at around midnight for some days then slip back into the other way again. I don't really like it but have trouble with it. Sometimes I don't want to sleep for a couple of days then want to sleep all day and night!

Even on a set routine I will go to bed when I have to but still wont sleep alot of the time and will just be tired the next day but still not sleep right.

I sleep best if it can just fall asleep without actually making it a decision or feeling I have to but because it just happened. Yet the all over the place time doesn't make me feel very settled and makes me more anxious.

As far as time zones go I should be on GMT + 0 but I fall easily into a time zone of around 6 to 8 hrs back from that. I feel like I live in a different time zone alot - it also isn't helped in that I like to go out better at night to walk my dogs and such like to avoid people who don't like them off lead and I generally prefer the dark hours because of less people and more freedom so I can end up living pretty much nocturnally.

I love night time, it's sort of special. I love the sun, but daylight doesn't necessarily equal sun in Britain, except in the summer.

When I'm on holiday in sunny places, night time is even better cos it's warm.

Yeah, the grey days sort of make the day light hours sort of unnoticeable!

I would love the day time just fine if it meant fewer people as the night time means. But walking when it is a real clear night and a full moon with lots of stars is one of my favourite things and rather than unnecessary things trying to ruin your thoughts your mind has time to just enjoy the outside and think better thoughts
