Hi, really late sleeper here. I naturally fall asleep between 3 am and 4 am. If I go to bed earlier, I’ll just be staring into the ceiling until that time; and if I go to bed later, I’ll typically fall asleep within minutes. Then, if I’m left undisturbed, I wake up at 11 am to 12 pm. However, if I have to wake up earlier to go to work or something, I greatly resent it 😅
I can force myself to go sleep earlier, but it’s a constant effort that I need to do everyday, and as soon as I stop making that effort, it’s immediately back to falling asleep at 3 am. It’s also something that I’d rather avoid doing because the time when I’m the most active/productive and get the most things done is around midnight, and the days I go to bed earlier usually become wasted days.
Some people say that it’s unhealthy to stay awake that far into the night, or lazy to get up that late. But honestly? My sleep schedule is really stable and consistent when left alone. On non-work days I rarely ever sleep more or less than 8 hours. If anything, what’s unhealthy is that I keep being expected to get up really fucking early at a time when I can’t get anything done anyway.
