View Full Version : Wrong planet?

Has anyone else felt like maybe we were born on the wrong planet? Since I was young, I've always thought a 30 - 36 hour day cycle would fit me perfect. Pre-20, I always pulled the "don't sleep for a day or two - and then crash" routine to keep sane. I saw someone else mention that behavior too. I also always worked PT night shifts to accomodate my sleep patterns.

When I finally got a 9-5, I would have never made it without my wife and kids to wake me up. This brings me to another point (maybe belongs in the relationships area)... I cannot sleep in bed with my wife. I know this upsets my wife a bit, but she knows me well enough to not take it personally. If I try to sleep in bed with her, I just toss and turn and make her life miserable before I get back up and return to the couch.

If I know I am going to have a tough night sleeping, my wife is keen enough to notice and will brew me up a cup or two of coffee (not too much). Seems to keep my brain from "spinning" and usually helps me get to sleep a little earlier.

BTW - never been on any ADD meds... just got diagnosed recently.

Wouldn't a longer day cycle be heaven?!? (and maybe two moons :D)
