Yep, sounds like me as well. 3 AM - 11 AM is the best time to sleep!


yep. just a shame that the NT world of business is fixated with the 9-5 cycle.

I hope in aspergia business will be conducted a few hours later.

What a clever find. It fits my sleep problems.

But why is it only linked with ADHD and not AS/autism? We are famous for our insomnia.

Yeap, this is totally me o.o, though lately I been sleeping all sorts of odd hours, but normally I go to bed at like 2-3am and get up at 1-2pm and if I don't sleep at least 9-10 hours I can't function during the day.
