So, psylent1 and 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

That's worth a shot. My SAD light makes a huge difference for me if I'm getting enough sleep. If I sleep less than 6 hours a night, I don't need it. My mood's stable, but grumpy, and I gain weight.

I've also found that sleeping from 10pm-6am is much better for me in every way than sleeping from 2am-10am, and I've read that the same is true for "many" people. So, maybe SOME adjustment to your sleep schedule is worth experimenting with, to find your ideal range.

I've been looking into one. During spring and summer I get enough daylight/sunshine that I don't worry too much. In winter it may help just to nudge the brain some.

I usually can't move my sleep schedule, unless I am sick, very drunk/high, or completely exhausted. My circadian clock marches with jackboots.
