My body is very much driven by the sun, which means in the winter I don’t really want to wake up until nearly 9. In the summer I’ll get up at 5-6 AM.
I hate that work is rigidly scheduled around arbitrary times.
This is why I sleep with something over my eyes many nights. Working rotating shifts, I have to be able to disregard daylight and darkness patterns.
That was a game changer to me
I guess I’m lucky because my body came with builtin eye covers.
Mine are too thin to be useful in that regard.
subsurface scattering is a bich
I have the same issue and smart bulbs that turn on in the morning helped me a ton
Blackout curtains and an eyemask. Problem solved.
Had to get surgery on October to fix a severely broken ankle. My sleep schedule was absolute dog shit for months because I would stay up all night watching weird vids to distract from the pain I was in. It was the worst.
Man I remember for like a month after my motorcycle accident I didn’t so much as sleep as randomly pass out sitting up throughout the day. That was a nightmare of a sleep schedule. Especially waking up and having to get upright to go pee.
I feel into so many microsleeps. It was the worst. Getting up to piss was also bad because I had a gigantic cast on.
Pee bottle FTW
Prepare for getting up early by staying up all night a couple of times in a row. Sleeping early will be easier and waking up early will seem natural.
I work crazy shifts in all hours and it’s impossible to go backwards. Go forward.
This sorta worked for me in my teens and early twenties, but not anymore. Now I get so out of whack from just one night up that I’m unable to concentrate on anything at all and just sit and scroll random websites the whole day without actually taking anything in, then I fall asleep at 9pm and sleep till 2pm the next day and feel like absolute shit the next couple of days.
Yeah when you’re that tired you have to utilize alarms to keep yourself from oversleeping into the wrong time. If I was up all night and I know I’m going to fall asleep at some point I set an alarm for every 2 or 3 hours so I can still be awake after and be ready to go to sleep at the next appropriate “bedtime”.
If your body clock leans towards staying up at night I have some very bad news - you’re going to spend a lot of your life tired and drained!
Main reason that I work nights. If only society adopted my schedule, I’d have it made
the good thing for me is that I am self-employed so I can do my work whenever, the issue is stuff like the doctos, like getting up at 6 am so you can have your blood drawn at 7 am and stuff like that is just fucked.
Hey, that’s me.
Fun fact: Camping is a great way to reset your circadian rhythm.
Doesn’t work in the winter if you’re in the northern part of the world, since the sun doesn’t come up until 9 am.
Or in even norther part of the world in summer where that bright bastard starts blasting at 4 in the morning.
Or the Sun decides never to set or never raise at all.
That’s the part many who don’t live here forget. Sure it’s dark and gloomy, during winter. During summer it’s light out almost constantly
Though it takes a couple days to comfortably sleep the night so gotta factor that in.
Duende

“Gnome” is definitely a mistranslation. We could call that a “gnomo”. “Duende” has no directly translation but it would be more accurate to compare them to goblins or forest sprites than to gnomes.
Wowwwww! Its reeeeearly heeem!
Well, the “Independent Fact Checkers” claim that South American gnomes don’t exist… I think they’re trying to cover something up. Anyone want to book tickets with me so that we can see for ourselves?
According to Google news, if you leave gnomes in your garden you are probably signaling others that you are a swinger. So I went to my sister in laws Christmas party and they had gnomes. My wife said no. I mean she’s hot. But my wife said no.
First no plastic flamingos, then no pineapples, now no gnomes!
What’s the world coming to?
I just want kitschy stuff in my yard without people trying to bang me!
I did not know about the plastic flamingo one. Looks like I’m tossing that out…
I made this mistake with that Australian guy did that two hour video where he went to South America to do a documentary about hidden land mine fields set up by drug cartels… All the land mines were built in the USA, it was fucked up. He went hard, like how come these drug cartels have US military land mines?
If I had to hazard a guess, I would say they were probably provided to a friendly military dictatorship and/or right wing paramilitary during the era of peak CIA fuckery in Latin America, and from there either were transferred to the cartels via good old fashioned corruption, or got lifted from military stores during the inevitable unrest that happened when said dictatorship collapsed.
GNOME has forever ruined how I want to pronounce “gnome.”
What?! They are said differently?
I want to say it as “Ñome”
I feel this in my sleepy eyelids
Why must life be so cruel, if we all had a super power to choose from, Id choose narcolepsy
I hate to break it to you but if you want to not have sleepy eyelids, you definitely don’t want narcolepsy. It makes you tired all the time, plus insomnia is a pretty common symptom with it.
Oof definitly chose the wrong term indeed
But every now and then your sleep schedule becomes so messed up you come full circle and wake up at your normal time (definitely not me right now).
Gnomes, you say? There goes my night.
Be wary friend, I went down a massive YouTube vortex on these gnomes.
You can’t post this and not link to some of the best south American gnome sighting videos.
Thanks for posting this! I thought I was alone in this struggle.
