So, [personal profile] psylent1 and [profile] salembroomrider - do we have a gym plan tonight?
I really want to go out for Tex-Mex, but need to base that on what time I need to not be a cheese-induced sloth.  (Anyone in the mood for Tex-Mex?)



A brief update to the continuing series Adventures in Modern Psychiatric Medicine:

Dr. S:  I think you should sleep at night, and wake up in the morning.  That is how nature made us (insert unnecessary explanation of melatonin and light frequencies and circadian rhythms).

Blissfish:  I've tried it.  I'm really a night person, I always have been.  My own rhythm doesn't move much.  I'm getting enough sleep.

Dr. S:  I think it would be better if you changed your sleep schedule.

Blissfish:  Something more or less diplomatic that translates to "Bite me!".

Dr. S:  You artists are all a little...different.  (yes, he really said that).

:P

If they'd just do a case study on my and my dad's family, they'ed realize it's some sort of familial genetic thingy.

I'm currently fighting with it right now - I'm doing pretty well, but totally losing the battle today.

I've read a lot about that. I've never discussed it with a doctor or anything (because I don't really regard it as a problem at this time), but it sounds a lot like what I go through when I have to move my schedule. And one day off and I'm right back where I started.
