To be fair, Daytime Me is no saint, either

If you can, find a neurologist who specializes in sleep disorders. I know someone who described something similar after self-referring to a sleep doc and the doctor's first words were, essentially, "you're on an adjusted sleep cycle naturally, but we're going to start tackling things in order of importance based on your symptoms and needs." Was fantastic for them to get a doc who took it seriously, was sympathetic, but also realistic that biology might not mesh with what the world required of that person.

yes but let us not forget what motivates us in the first place: that it is also possible to dedicate an entire night to terraria and win

I‘m 30 and still like this. Granted, COVID changed a lot on how I see things. Sadly COVID made me quit partying.

[some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org]

Yeah, I agree overall in that I do far less work than I used to because I've got older and realized I only have to do as much as is required to keep my job. On the other hand, there's the lazy where I don't take care of a thing that is actually for me, like picking up a prescription when the weather sucks.

The proper term is slingshat.

oh man thats what i do now. but i work until midnight so i kind of have an excuse

[whiskytangofoxtrot@lemmy.world]

If I go to bed when I'm not tired then I'll end up getting even less sleep than if I'd stayed up.

At least nighttime you just wants to play video games. When I was a young man, nighttime me wanted to go out dancing, get shit faced, get into fistfights, and paint the town red. That's a lot harder to recover from at work the next day than a late night video game session.

[victorz@lemmy.world]

No sympathy from me lol, sounds like something awful to do to yourself (and others).

[anticorp@lemmy.world]

Well, nighttime me was an asshole of the highest rank. Daytime me just wanted to build a better life for myself.

[victorz@lemmy.world]

I'm guessing alcohol was the catalyst for nighttime you to appear, eh? Anyway, I hope you managed to make a better life, regardless of the cause.

[halykthered@lemmy.ml]

This is no joke, I'm a better person overall when my work day starts at 4pm and goes to midnight. Sure I miss out on stuff, but I exercise, eat better, get better sleep, focus on hobbies. It's much nicer, when I can do it.

[elucubra@sopuli.xyz]

When in my 20s-30s I considered that if I didn't see dawn, it was a lost day. In my 50's I owned a restaurant-bar. A few times I did an all nighter. It literally took me a week to recover. It's called aging.

My husband and I just rediscovered Civ after not playing any of them for a decade.

Even now, a decade later, we have been sitting there for the past 2 weeks being like "Just one more turn" @ 2 am.

Fair warning, TV Tropes link.

There's a name for that:

[agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works]

I used to do an all nighter at least once a month in my 20s with no ill effects unless I tried to do more than one a week. Tried it in my 30s, the recovery was rough.

[jackbydev@programming.dev]

This is going to sound weird. I had this epiphany about self love recently. I pictured myself as two different people and imagined what I would do for the other to show them I love them. It's sort of changed my perspective on things, at least a little.
