Bro. This shit drives me up the wall. Everyone harps about how you just need to go to sleep earlier and it will fix the schedule.
So I suffer a few nights where I'm waiting several hours to fall asleep, acquire a night's worth of sleep debt, and THEN my body is so sleep deprived it can finally fall asleep earlier.
Of course they don't give a fuck about me being perpetually tired, unfocused and a danger to everyone on the road. They're just happy to see me finally sleeping "properly". Idiots.
Yeah that's annoying as fuck.
I drove a taxi and I've never managed the "normal" sleep schedule, even when I was in the army (got myself a flexible position so I could sleep in on mornings).
I tried doing a regular shift for a month, a bit more. I went bonkers.
I did not want to drive tired. Especially when taking kids to school. Nope. I can maybe risk my own life, but not that of others.
Even sought help to the issue desperately. Nothing. I've been trying to get sleep studies ever since. Well, much before then, but very actively since 2016.
The sleep studies clinic essentially just blocks the referral from my doctors and say "no just give him Seroquel" despite me having said for many years I refuse to take it anymore due to the side effects it gives.
People just flat out refuse to believe it's anything else than laziness. Even the literal "experts".
IMO, the fix isn't a pill or treatment. The fix is for society to learn to be okay with people who need to live on a different schedule. I am hopeful that the work-from-home evolution will bring about different attitudes. In job interviews, I offer to work a west-coast schedule, which would match my needs quite nicely. Too bad schools feel the need to start at zero dark thirty, or I'd be on my way to somnial bliss.
Well, duh.
So fking annoying :FF
