🛌
it’s my end of semester so to cope with finals i‘ve found myself sleeping 2-5 hours at a time with work breaks in between as though i were an infant unable to sleep through the night … surely unsustainable in the long term but rn i’ve learnt productivity is not impossible at 3am

i persistently burn the midnight oil doing work instead of sleeping and then get like 4 to 5 hours of rest (at most). my brain has gotten used to being productive post-10pm until the am hours and my schedule is out of wack. it is NOT fun!! the only perk i can see is that i can interact with the pi.fyi community from the UK and any country whose time zone is like 5+ hours ahead of eastern time since i’m still up by then.

or just straight up not sleeping. i get so much done. its a totally differnet city grocery shopping at 3 am. have u read after dark by haruki murakami? freshman year i was completely nocturnal and did all my homework by the light of my laptop and my roommates led strip lights and then i would sleep for a few hours at a time in between zoom classes.

My sleep routines are complete chaos. in the couple years after being diagnosed with CFS I managed to get a routine that was: bath, meditate, read, journal, sleep. No phone for an hour before bed, I’d literally leave it downstairs. Audiobook to sleep. I think back to this with bemused fondness. During this time I was incredibly isolated so didnt really have anyone to message or things to look at on my phone anyway. As soon as I had friends, a group chat, a boyfriend, a life etc that all goes out the window. I am all or nothing. life is simply too stimulating for my brain, having passions and relationships is exciting and when I have them (which thank god I do though) I am thinking about and interacting with them always. My bedtime routine is sometimes good and I’ll read and journal and sleep well. At others I’m up scrolling til 2am, I sometimes watch ASMR to sleep, if I’m really feeling bad I’ll watch Howl’s Moving Castle. Some days I just put on an audiobook and sleep immediately, others I’m fighting for my life until the wee hours. i am a fully grown adult who once had to go on sleeping pills because I couldn’t stop compulsively knitting until 7am during a particularly stressful and exciting essay deadline week. Depending on my pain/exhaustion/adrenaline levels my bedtime can be anywhere from 10pm to 3am. I have never fully written this out, and despite all this I have never really considered myself someone who struggles with sleep lmao.
