    Oh god tell me about it.

    I’ve run basic tests on myself. Even if I’m severely sleep deprived and desperately need rest … if I can get to 10pm, there’s always a “second wind” and the psychological readiness to “finally start the day”.

      This is definitely me. Really infuriating when people tell you just to just sleep or it’s all self discipline.

        The difference in risk for delayed sleep schedules between those with ADHD and the general population is so substantial and the link strong enough, that it has been considered as part of the diagnostic criteria for ADHD.

    But do you actually get any work done?

    Or do you feel energized because you know the day is over so you’re free to do anything else besides what you were supposed to do?

    I find if I work out hard enough during the day it can help… Usually.

    Unfortunately due to the weather lately it’s made it pretty hard to do much exercise so my sleep schedule is getting wacky again

      Get something to exercise indoor or do calisthenics.

      I’ve got a Proform H7, it doesn’t take much space and woops my ass

        I usually do calisthenics a apart of my morning routine to help wake me up

        It’s the hard cardio that helps me with sleep

        I’ve been thinking about getting something so I can set my bike up as an exercise bike due to space constraints but that’s something that I’ve been floating for awhile but seemingly can’t find a way to commit to

          If you want something that doesn’t need setup get rollers, they’re harder to get used to but you won’t need a separate wheel with a spinning tire!

    The desire to be productive after 10pm is the hardest part about living in an apartment for me.

      I don’t understand. What is the significance of living in an apartment in this case?

    Good news! Night jobs exist and most of them pay better than day jobs! I was making 65k/year working nights in a job that requires a high-school diploma!

      I tried that but they are very isolating. Also when I get off work I like to have a beer but good luck finding a place that will sell beer at 5am.

    I sleep about 8 hours according to the clock.
    But according to my pixel watch I only sleep 5:30-6:30 hours.

    Maybe the same for you?

    And I also have the same issue.
    A bit tired at the eyes and ready for a small nap but as soon as the clock is 10pm and weekend I will probably stay up until 2am. Easily.

        You should think about investing in a sleep tracker. The good ones can tell you how much of each stage of sleep you’re getting.

    I’ve had a hell of a benefit from Huberman lab podcast, especially the sleep toolkit one. It’s changed the game for me on sleep. There’s a recent one with Peter attia where they delve into the details on light questions. It’s a game changer for me. Then becomes one of the 'positive Domino’s for my day
