Anonymous Coward User ID: 75395839 United States 01/11/2023 07:53 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Waking up at this specific time, has been going on for months now....... Wide awake in the dead of night. I look at the clock and it says 3:40, EVERY DAMN TIME!!! Quoting: Os76* Why? WHY!!! I this just something that happens to some people? As a kid, my parents use to call me a hoot owl, because I was most active during the midnight hour, staying up with the adults when most normal kids were sleeping. I have tried over the years to become a morning person. To be normal, but it doesn't matter how much I try, I can't get the change locked in. For the better part of my life, I wake up at all hours of the night, if I go to sleep before 9pm, I wake up two hours later. Then every two hours after that, if I do fall back asleep. The best and most restful sleep I do get is during the day when everyone else is awake. At night though, my energy levels are just too much, off the chart. I also do deal with a lot of pain, which is probably a factor. Lately though, the wake up time has been specifically at 3:4Oam, whereas before it used to fluctuate between midnight and 2am. Clearly, I am not normal. At least I get to see things other people miss while they are asleep......I am often the first to know. When other people bring things up, it's like watching sitcom reruns. Other than that.....it's is annoying. I just want to be normal. That's when the Grey's drop you back off |

Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 85047251 United States 01/11/2023 08:06 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Mine use to be 2am. but lately it's specifically 3:40. That is right about the time I should be in my deepest sleep cycle. Most of the people I know and interact with are not awake till 6 or 7am or later. That leave me with several hours where I have to quietly twittle my thumbs so as not to be a nuisance to them. So I can't even really be productive or I risk upsetting others with my activity. |

I listen to them groan and bitch sometimes, because my sleep cycle disturbs their own. They just can't talk to me about it, but they do let me know in their own manner. |
Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 85047251 United States 01/11/2023 08:21 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I am used to it..... I just don't like it. It inhibits my productivity, because I have to take into account normal people and limit my activity so I am not a nuisance to them. If I didn't care, I would get more done while awake, but I do. So I stifle my activity for their sake. |

Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 85047251 United States 01/11/2023 08:37 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I just brine'd and smoked a batch of trout, about 20 in all. Had to monitor it for about 12 hours on very low heat so as to not cook it or ruin it. Smoking fish requires ongoing attention, so one doesn't destroy the final product. Every time I smoke fish, it's a marathon. Maybe that has something to do with my current sleep dysfunction. |

You could try praying at that time or reading the bible. You are being awakened to connect. It is a calling of Christ. If you followed me on here, you would see that I am actively promoting scripture, reading it and studying it during this time. It's about the only thing I can do that doesn't interfere with other people's sleep schedule, who live in the same general locale as me. I agree this is a worthwhile endeavor. Maybe those who are awake at the witching hour are watchmen. |
