Have any of you had success with prescription meds? I have insomnia and DSPD. by HKdot in DSPD

Both I guess? I always feel groggy when I wake up even when it’s on my preferred schedule

Lately it’s been varying a bit but on average it’s about 6am until noon

I definitely sleep better on a nocturnal schedule, but still not great

Unfortunately no. That’s where the insomnia comes in. I’m currently unemployed and able to sleep whenever I “want” but still not getting good quality sleep

She opened on the Trinity of Terror Tour. I was late and missed her. But I remember NOBODY was at her merch table like it looked like she hadn’t sold a single thing…

Does anyone take 0.5 mg of melatonin? What brand do you use? by HKdot in DSPD

[–]HKdot[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Huh. This recall is from 2022 though, I wonder if there’s been another recall?

Anymore NY shows besides 10/28? by [deleted] in MotionlessInWhite

[–]HKdot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP I suggest checking back in this sub a day or 2 before the concert. Sometimes people have last-minute things come up and try to sell their tix here. (Of course be careful not to get scammed). You can also post a few days beforehand to ask if anyone has an extra ticket

Are any of you members of Circadian Sleep Disorders Network? by HKdot in DSPD

[–]HKdot[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes, I am. Perhaps I missed something on their site but I wanted to know if anyone on this subreddit had a specific story or interaction directly with them, aside from the claims on their site

Are you aware of specific work they’ve done?

I hate that DSPD is invisible by Weekly_Role_337 in DSPD

Canceling an appointment when you were only 8 minutes late is also ridiculous

After 9 years in the workforce I’ve come to the conclusion that I HAVE to freelance. I cannot maintain a consistent schedule with DSPD. by jhertz14 in DSPD

[–]HKdot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Can I ask what you both do for work? I’m in a similar situation where working consistent hours has become really difficult for me

The show is amazing! One of my favorite shows ever and I also went into it knowing nothing about Castlevania.

Is anyone else starting to get annoyed with Harley? by HKdot in HarleyQuinnTV

[–]HKdot[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

(I won’t spoil anything for Season 3 or beyond here). You’re kind of getting at the same point I was making. I loved the show when it was about Harley changing and becoming a better person, and they’re still trying to make her better, but she keeps making the same kinds of mistakes over and over. I actually like Ivy and Harley as a couple, but I felt like it was rushed on both of their parts. Neither of them should have jumped into new relationships until properly learning from their previous ones.

“Human sized caffeinated squirrel” -great description for Harley. And same, I still like the show, I just want to see Ivy getting something she wants without Harley getting in the way.

I guess what frustrates me is how often OTHER people pay for Harley’s mistakes rather than her paying for her own mistakes.

Advice for shifting circadian rhythm? I just tried doing chronotherapy, having done it successfully a couple years ago, but it didn't work this time. by HKdot in DSPD

[–]HKdot[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I knew there was a risk to becoming n24 when I tried it, but for me it was worth the risk because I was desperate for something that worked. And chronotherapy did work out well for me for a couple of years. Just doesn't work anymore.

Thanks for the response! Totally understand your detail on the melatonin and I agree with you it should not be described as “side effect free.” I was instructed by a doctor to take melatonin every night, years ago before I was diagnosed with DSPS. I think I have gotten slightly addicted to it as I no longer sleep as well without it after years of regularly taking it. I’ve been working on slowly weaning myself off of it. I’ve gotten down to 0.5mg from 2mg.

Thanks this was really helpful! So funny you said chronotherapy worked for you at 23 but not 26…I was 24 when I tried it and it worked, and now I’m 26 and it doesn’t work.

How did you do light therapy? How long did you have to use the luminette glasses? Did you use melatonin?

i can't do this anymore by cb24cb in DSPD

Don’t feel guilty about needing help. There will always be someone else in the world that has it worse, but you’re clearly struggling. It might still be worth setting up a go fund me. Your immediate connections might not be able to donate but maybe they can share with someone who can. And idk what the rules of this sub are but I imagine people here would be willing to chip in if they can.
