11-4am is when i feel most like me - unfortunately no-one else is up to see it!
daytime sleepiness is an issue, meds related. If it weren't so antisocial I would be as nocturnal as a bat! There was a good programme on bbc about body clocks. it reckoned that light can be used to get things more normal. circadian rhythms being disturbed is a principal reason that many v elderly people in care facilities are over-medicated. I no longer fight the wakefulness at night but use it instead, no partner means I can make that choice. I normalize some as days get longer and there is more light, but problem returns at height of summer. most recently I have been using quiet night hours for drawing, a return to making art after years of digital excess. often wonder if exposure to computer monitors etc exacerbates sleep issues and dysfunctional rhythms......... another form of stress??
