Sleep Experiences

Author: Meow

Here’s all my sleep issues I’ve had:

– One time I slept for 24-30 HOURS
– When I was 9 I couldn’t sleep for 4 days and I remember just staring at the wall because I had nothing to do
– At 9-12 I couldn’t sleep at a sleepover and they still took me to a trampoline park
– For some reason, I still remember my childhood dreams/nightmares
– My N24 (EXTREMELY RARE disorder) only started at 12-13 and got worse with time
– One time I randomly gained no tiredness and didn’t sleep for 2 days but was not tired (so weird)
– I have N24 (it’s EXTREMELY rare in non-blind people)
– Someone I know occasionally says stuff like “Omg haha I can sleep and you can’t” with a smug smirk and it really pisses me off
– My sleep disorder has made me have to take night jobs instead
– Even if I try ti sleep at the right time, I instead will just be closing my eyes for hours as my body won’t let me sleep
– I remember when my cat was a kitten he would sleep in my arms at night
– Pain can help me rest so sometimes I have to trip and then I get tired
– One time I slept in the woods with no tent (willingly)
– I have vivid dreams when I’m emotional
– Someone I know had a dream that predicted something horrific and it actually happened. This has also happened to me a few times

Google says:

“Non-24-hour sleep-wake disorder (N24) is a rare circadian rhythm disorder where a person’s internal biological clock fails to synchronize to a standard 24-hour day, causing their sleep times to constantly drift forward.”

“Non-24-hour sleep-wake disorder (N24) is considered extremely rare in sighted individuals, to the point that it is classified as an orphan (rare) disease. While it affects up to 70% of totally blind individuals, its exact prevalence in the sighted population remains statistically unknown.”
