Chronic Health Conditions Discussion and Support

in the evening, everything from the Fed to retail. Eventually, I went into nursing, working evenings and nights in comfortable shoes. Best of all worlds.

When I was a kid, I'd drag myself through school, come home and go unconscious for a few hours, wake up for supper and do my homework. I stayed awake until at least 3 AM listening to late night AM radio with my ear against the speaker so my folks couldn't hear. I could get stations all over the country and it was fascinating. Some stations would play gutbuster blues, others would do old radio shows, and a few carried Garner Ted Armstrong, which I thought was satire.

Imagine my shock when I found out old Garner Ted was serious.

My mother said I had my days and nights mixed up even in infancy, so this is a lifelong thing for me.

Delayed sleep phase disorder is likely underreported, sufferers trying to work day jobs by medicating themselves into unconsciousness at night. Medication really doesn't work, nor does retraining. I think day jobs are likely as hard on our body systems as night jobs are on normal people.
