          My best case is having about 20-24 hour long waking part of the day and then 7-10 hours of sleep. We need to slow this planet tf down, why rotate so fast!?

      Because most places run on morning person hours. If you don’t get up early enough you can’t get everything done because a lot of places close by mid afternoon. I think the compromise at this point is just divide society into day people and night people and just run everything 24/7. There should be enough of both for that at this point.

    I want to punch whoever thinks being a shifted sleeper (4am-noon or 6am-2pm in my case) is a bad thing. I had a job that loved me for taking all the late shifts that my age cohort didn’t want so they could have a social life. I just didn’t want to have to wake before noon. :D

    If I try (and fail) to keep social hours, aka business hours, I have to contend with severe insomnia (in bed by midnight, awake til sunup), or I just don’t sleep. Either is bad for me, my health, and the sanity for those around me.

    Where I live, most things are finished by noon, and stores close at 4 on the weekend. Late night shopping means open til maybe 7pm on a Friday. (I miss my home city/country. Weekend hours til 6pm, late night (open til 9pm) three nights a week. Moving here was like going back in time forty years.)

    Grr Argh and stuff.

      Regarding the snoring:

      I snore like a freight train… a real “rattle the walls” type thing. It doesn’t bother me cause I don’t notice lol. Unfortunately, my wife is apperently “unable” to ignore it (I mean that sarcastically about her; my snoring can be/often is impressively loud)

      I tried taping my mouth for snoring, but ended up choking on my own saliva. Works for some, not for me

      But I went and got a sleep study done (that you can do at home, with equipment they loan you) because I didn’t want to do that to my wife (and I guess there’s health benefits too). Surprisingly, I was diagnosed as having only “mild” sleep apnea. As loud as my snoring (allegedly) can be; I thought it would be worse. So I was prescribed a CPAP and got my machine… mainly because I didn’t want to force my wife into another room 3x a week, due to my obnoxious snoring

      And holy shit… I hadn’t slept so well, in so long, that it made me feel a little sad/stupid that I hadn’t gotten a CPAP sooner. You have to find a set-up that works for your sleeping habits… but my god! I hate going without it now. Sometimes I forget to put it on, and sometimes I rip it off at night… but I can always feel how unrested I am now when I don’t wear it

      TL;DR - CPAP’s are awesome and worth any mild inconvenience they may cause. And they also stop the snoring, regardless of cause. It’s an inflammation/soft palate thing; sometimes you need a little extra pressure. The sleep you get is priceless though

        Thanks for letting me know. I’m still not convinced a CPAP will help, but I don’t think she’s ever had a sleep study done either. If she did, it was long enough ago that it might be worth another.

          CPAP machines stop snoring by creating continuous positive air pressure that keeps your muscles from collapsing. It’s not really a matter of convincing – it’s a fact.

            It’s probably not apnea, it’s probably allergies, because it’s a lot worse right now and there’s very little in the winter. She’s tried breathe-right strips, but she says they’re too uncomfortable.

            I also have a feeling that it would take me weeks to be able to easily fall and stay asleep with the sound of a CPAP machine, but maybe one day it will be necessary. I hope not.

              I got the latest airsense cpap machine and it’s extremely quiet for whatever that’s worth. If I took a video of it running with my phone it wouldn’t pick up any noise. I hate the thing and haven’t been able to get use out of it but I was shocked how quiet it is.

              I didn’t realize it was you I’m talking to. I’d trust that you and your partner have plenty of medical advice.

              Get some sleep, one way or another.

              Air purifier like the other said is a good idea though. Allergies are killer right now, at least around here. My car hasn’t moved since Friday. It was silver then and it’s green now.

                  A big one like the Honeywell HEPA ones is also great. Filtering only, don’t get the ionized ones. You can just replace the prefilters once a year or so (can vacuum them off to reuse once or twice) and the actual HEPA filter lasts a really long time.

                  Claritin or whatever works and aerobic exercise daily also does major wonders.

      Mouth tape. Explained how much snoring affected me and the missus started using it. Cheap, simple, and the snoring stopped inside a week.

      As for the dogs, stop rewarding then when they bark. Don’t feed em, let em out, whatever it is they’re wanting that they bark for that you keep doing. Sounds like they’ve trained you.
