Y'all..... Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome is actually hell to live with, and its debilitating to experience. It's not my natural cycle, because if I had a natural cycle, I would not be ocillating between getting up at 8 am and having a normal schedule and getting up at 12 am, 3 am, 5 pm, 8 pm, 11 am, 12 pm, whatever fucking time of day my brain decides to sleep and wake up at.

Maybe y'all didn't experience this, but every summer between school years, my sleep schedule would become fucked up. I would also kick and scream whenever I was waking up for school, and I never could figure out how to get to sleep, even now, I haven't been able to go to sleep when I want to, even if I am crying my eyes out tired.

Its only when I was on ADHD medication for a period of time, I was able to sleep properly.

So yes, it's a disorder, no it's not natural.

disability isn't a "social construct". my disabilities are real and will always exist even in some perfect world.

So you might have noticed a suspicious lack of radio shows recently. This is because I am undertaking "Sleep Therapy".

Over the years, I have always been a late sleeper, having delayed sleep phase syndrome because of my mental health issues. But over the last few years things have gradually derailed, and I kept going to bed at ever later hours.

The last few months, after working on "Together at Hanukkah", I started going to bed at around 8 or 9 am which has started making work and anything else impossible.

In the last few days, I have begun working on my issues, which is quite scary and disorientating when suffering with anxiety issues and OCD. I am hoping that this works out as the situation up to now was intolerable.

The main confusing thing is that now I am trying to keep more usual hours is that I barely seem to have time for anything?? Please wish me luck and keep your fingers crossed for me!!

The time I'm able to go to sleep each night is always different and I never know ahead of time when it will be. If I try to go to bed too early I'll just lay there staring at the back of my eyelids, if I try too late I miss the window and have to wait until the next night to try again.

But how do I know when the window is?

If you haven't already guessed I have ADHD and the important thing to know about ADHD for this post is that brain never shuts up. No matter how tired you are, brain never shuts up and being bored is painful.

But!!! For me at least my capacity to manage all the trains of thought slows down at a specific point of most nights which means that if I time things just right I can occupy that remaining train of thought with some sleepy music or an audiodrama I've already listened to a dozen times, and while it's distracted by that I can sneakily fall asleep!

If I don't distract it then it tries to tell me stories and that attracts the attention of all the other trains that wandered off and then I need to go be creative and there goes my chance to sleep.

So the distraction is very important. And the other trains need to have gone away first because if there's more than one I need to be doing something with my hands and something else with my brain at the same time.

Falling asleep, for most people, is a science. For Me? It's all art and desperate prayers.

One of the worst elements of living with Delayed Sleep Phase Disorder and trying to live normally is the lost time trying to fall asleep COMBINED with the lost time from exhaustion during the day. No traction.

I wish that places were open at night. Like not just 24 hour fast food places and cinemas that are open late, actual restaurants, shops, schools and unis and mechanics and like ice cream shops and libraries and just everything. Everything is better at night like i want to be nocturnal and we should round up all the people who also love the night time and hate the day time and make a city of nocturnal people. Like wow that would be fun.

I have never seen a clearer example of the social model of disability in action than this “disorder” I just found on the Stanford healthcare website:

Disability is a social construct

[Image is a screenshot of an article that says:

The effects of DSPS

People with delayed sleep phase syndrome generally have difficulty:

Falling asleep, unless they go to bed very late (usually some hours after midnight) because their internal clock is sending alerting signals until late into the night

Waking up at a "normal" time in the morning, because their internal clock is not yet producing strong alerting signals

Unless you have other sleep disorders, such a sleep apnea or insomnia, you may actually sleep well with DSPS, in terms of duration and quality of sleep. The problem is that the delay makes it difficult to wake up in time for a typical school or work day.]

Ramadan Challenge 2024, Day 3

Day 3: What is your favorite act of worship? Has it always been your favorite?

Fasting tatawu' and sadaqa, hands down.

I love the personal quality of volunteering to fast extra days. Fasting Ramadan is already plenty blessed, but from a young age I especially liked the various hadiths about fasting additional days, be it Mondays & Thursdays or the three white days. Fast three days a month and you've fasted the whole year? Yes please!?

A lot of worship is symbolic and not really about what you're doing, but about everything else around it, and to me, volunteering to fast is like that. It's not going through the motions, it's the intention, which is really what counts anyway. Alhamdulillah I'm grateful I got to fast a lot when I was younger, because things have gotten a lot harder post-covid. I'm hopeful we'll swing back around and I'll get to do it again.

As for sadaqa… again this is personal to me, I grew up very aware that people are in different socioeconomic classes. Some of my cousins were kids of actual millionaires, with diamond-encrusted watches as teenagers, while others were living six people in a backyard trailer, and everything in between. I grew up as something I came to call "fake poor"-- we weren't really poor, but my foundational years were during a rough few years, for a bunch of legitimate reasons, so I lived "poor" for the main part of my childhood. Our situation got better when I was in high school, but when you grow up poor (or thinking you're poor because you don’t know any better), that gets ingrained in you.

These two ayas are the reason I started giving sadaqa as soon as I had my own salary. Because I was very aware of what it was like to have or not have the money you need to do things for yourself, and I'd seen a range of examples in my family. Whatever I saved was precious to me, which is exactly why it's meaningful for me to give from that.

We have a local saying that goes "money is the filth of dunya" and that's even more reason to take out that trash!

Similarly since covid, things have become quite tight financially, so now that's how we've been living. I'm used to tightening the belt, but the difference between now and my childhood is now I'm the one making the financial decisions. And when things are this hard, you find out who you can really trust. People who I thought I could rely on turned out to be, well, allahuma inni saima. Others surprised me with their kindness and generosity.

When I was giving sadaqa when I was younger, I didn't have in mind some kind of karmic quid pro quo. But being on the receiving end now, I believe even more that the system works. Every little bit really does help.

Even clicks.

Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 4

wait something is just now clicking. if my delayed sleep disorder makes me naturally wake up around 11:30 (being generous here) and i am scheduled to work at 8:30, and the average US adult wakes up at 7:30, that is the equivalent of asking a normal-sleeping adult to come in at 4:30am. which is BATSHIT! no fucking wonder i feel like garbage !!!

#anyway having a normal one #—> guy trying to convince himself to not feel bad about his awful insomnia #or whatever’s wrong idk #text #delayed sleep phase disorder #sleep disorder #at least i think that’s what i have who knows it could be a cocktail #local man who gets 2 really bad sleep nights contemplates destroying his life #like please this isn’t your heart. you just need a nap girl

So asinine to me that neighborhood noise ordinances only apply to night time

There are endless reasons a person might need to sleep during the day, on any given day or regularly. Sleep disorders and chronic fatigue are not uncommon and are a byproduct of countless other conditions, also people work nights.

There are endless reasons other than sleep that a person might need a reasonably quiet environment. People work from home. People have different neurotypes. People have sensory and auditory issues. People have migraines and endless other noise-sensitive conditions. People have children and pets with these issues.

People deserve to not hear ridiculous volumes from inside their homes against their will, regardless of their schedule, health conditions, or anything else.

Emergency responders definitely work nights and definitely definitely should be so so well rested please if I need emergency surgery or a house fire put out at 2am in the future I would love if the people I call about that were on top of their game idk

I don’t think a man’s right to vroom-vroom his old car in his yard for hours at a time and blast bass-heavy music from his driveway and light off firecrackers all day is more important that any of that but okay

My man knows especially this time of year I tend make what he calls my nest in bed. I surround myself with pillows (I have a system but the most important are the two on either side of me, one under my head and one between my legs) and then burrow under a heated blanket and down duvet. But my heated blanket died and so this morning as I was getting ready for bed he tossed a brand new ultra fuzzy faux fur one on the bed for me 😭 it's so lux I don't wana sleep I just wana be warm and pet it

#We have reversed schedules this time of year so I'm usually heading to bed when he wakes up #DSPD kicks in hard for me in the winter #delayed sleep phase disorder
