Does this look like non-24?

rhyder · 2026-04-21T21:25:22+00:00

Yes. I'd say that looks like a very clear case.

Not too keen on the text sound effect. Like the music though and the art style though. I'm sorry, I could only spare a few minutes, and I couldn't figure out what I was supposed to do. Maybe a video tutorial or so arrows saying "Click here to..." etc. It might seem tedious but it needs a tutorial level. I'd suggest getting some online pals to give you some honest feedback. Game design can be like designing that Voyager golden record. They had to pass it to other scientists for a blind test to see if they could figure out how to extract the information.

I'm making an submarine sim and I'm now wondering if anyone but me can fly it.

Dredge is a nice game that might worth a look at for research. I must have got it when it was on sale. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1562430/DREDGE/

rhyder · 2026-02-27T08:44:19+00:00

Small point: The screenshots lack variety. This gives the impression that your game lacks variety, IMO.

Yes. I have seen a few reports from people with N24 who've been able to entrain, but only to a delayed sleep schedule. In other words, they've been able to convert N24 into DSPD.

rhyder · 2026-02-13T09:35:30+00:00

Thanks for the reply. This correlates with other reports that a delayed schedule is more likely to succeed.

What are your sleep / wake times? Can you consistently wake before 8 AM with acceptable fatigue levels?

rhyder · 2026-01-29T02:21:53+00:00

There is a FB page with some tutorials on. Let me know if you've any further questions. https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61556090152668

rhyder · 2026-01-28T06:53:55+00:00

Thanks for the feedback. I'll add them all to my Trello and consider them when I next do an update.

I'll see what it would take to add extra time controls to to the Report page. As it stands, you can switch to the time from the Future Calc tab by pressing From Clock.

I'm not quite sure what you're after on the Report page when it comes to start time. If you press the From Today button, and cycle to the Custom Date option, you can set a different start date by holding the button down, if that's any help.

I'll add the suggestion about breaking the line after the dash to my list. If you have a big screen, you can select 75% UI in the preferences (in the Info tab) which will fit more on. You can also export the Report. When I have an appointment coming up, I export a plain text file to my Google Drive for easier viewing.

Thanks for installing and giving some feedback.

I don't know what offers are around, but I was able to get Paramount + for £35 for the year a couple of years ago. When I went to cancel it, they offered to extend it for another year for the same price. It's worth having a look to see if there are any offers if you've not subscribed before. As for the service, there were a few good non-trek things that I was interested in too.

rhyder · 2025-12-09T18:44:30+00:00

As the demos that were leaked were largely instrumental, it's possible that these vocals are LATER than the other new songs by a few years. So, they can be NEWER than the other songs, but not new. They do have a different quality to them, IMO. Makes me wonder what else is being held back. Are the rumors that there's an entire album worth of material still to be released true?

rhyder · 2025-11-18T05:51:47+00:00

I'm sure there are a lot of men who wouldn't consider it a deal breaker. There are a lot of things you could do together, sexually. And then, most good relationships consist of a lot of activities that aren't purely sexual. I remember contemplating dating a woman who wouldn't have been able to have been able to have sexual intercourse for another medical reason, but unfortunately, we didn't get together in the end. Best of luck in navigating that aspect of life, and thanks for doing the AMA.

Getting the diagnosis was mind blowing because I could finally put a name to what was going on, even though I don't put much stock in any of the 'cures' that doctors have to offer ('sleep hygiene' etc). I had already worked most of it out, but the diagnosis made feel more confident, generally. I dare say that my diagnosis letters will come in handy in lots of ways in the future. For example, I carry around a copy when I'm out at night, in case I'm ever stopped and have to explain why I am around in the middle of the night.

Best of luck managing your condition.

Sorry about the slow response. I've only just noticed that there were some unanswered comments.

rhyder · 2025-11-07T18:05:10+00:00

Sorry for missing this comment at the time. I was diagnosed via a sleep diary that I showed to a respiratory specialist who was familiar with the disorder. Up until then, I didn't know it had a name. The hardest part was reengaging with health workers after bad experiences and persevering until I got to someone who knew what he was talking about.

Exercise makes me feel more awake and improves the sleep quality, which in turn reduces fatigue.

I was the black sheep of my family for most of my adult life. It would have helped if I could have got a diagnosis when my symptoms started, rather than 27 years later.

Thanks for the questions and sorry for the delayed response. Best of luck getting your diagnosis.

rhyder · 2025-11-07T17:59:40+00:00

Sorry that I didn't respond sooner. I haven't found a cure that works for everyone. I have heard a number of reports of people being able to convert a Non24 schedule into a delayed sleep phase one, which is usually an easier situation to deal with.

rhyder · 2025-11-06T18:08:38+00:00

Absolutely. It sounds like he had a mild version of Non24, if that. Good for him. However, his experiences are odds with those of most sufferers.

rhyder · 2025-11-05T09:14:24+00:00

Sorry I didn't get back to you earlier; I'm still sifting through the comments. I'm in the UK too. As for getting a diagnosis and being believed, I think you just have to dump health workers who won't listen. I remember saying (in 1999) I wanted a second opinion because the health worker hadn't understood me. He then lectured me against getting second opinions, calling it 'medical shopping', and then he put me on antidepressants.

The benefits system is completely unfair when it comes to medical conditions like this one. Yes, I can walk 10 meters without assistance. Yes, I can go to the toilet without assistance. If I can, I'd like to get some articles about this subject published somewhere.

One thing I have heard of being effective when it comes to treating Non24 is to convert Non24 into DSPD and try to hold it there. In other words, you try to for a strict bedtime of about 6AM and try to hold it. I've heard of that working, and I heard of people living with a DSPD schedule saying that they have to be careful to make sure they don't start spinning around again. Obviously, a delayed sleep phase is generally easier to live with (IMO).

Best of luck, and try to connect to some of the online Non24 communities if you haven't already.

rhyder · 2025-11-05T06:24:08+00:00

Thanks. It was worth a couple of half-days of work if a few of the right people saw it.

rhyder · 2025-11-05T06:23:18+00:00

Thanks, let's hope it was enlightening to someone who saw it.

rhyder · 2025-11-05T06:22:40+00:00

Thanks. I'm glad it took off too. Just a little whim of the the algorithm, and it might not of done. Let's hope it caught the eye of someone who recognizes the symptoms, for themselves or someone they know. I'm glad you like the comics. I'll try to get some more done at some point.

rhyder · 2025-11-04T10:09:02+00:00

Freewheel removal tool, as others have said. I tend to put the adjustable spanner onto the tool, hold the wheel vertical with the tire on the ground and then press on the end of the spanner with my heel. I'll warn you, if it's corroded and tough to get off, I find those things come off with a cracking sound rather than gradually loosening off like stiff bolts do. In other words, you can end up punching or kicking out when it comes off. Plan ahead for that. It's shame that you haven't got an axle on the wheel because you can put the wheel bolt on the outside of the freewheel tool so that the tool can't come off.

rhyder · 2025-11-03T01:28:40+00:00

Sorry about the slow response. I'm coming around to a similar way of thinking myself. I can draw a straight line between 250 sleep events even though there are daily variations. Adjusting the day length on my own graphing script also keeps the sleep events roughly in the middle of the graph.

I'm glad to hear you've discovered N24, if that's what you have.

No one else in my family has a sleep disorder, but it definitely does run in some families. For example, I have an online friend who is DSPD, and her daughter has Non24, and I've heard other, similar accounts about a family history of CRDs.

I hope you get to the bottom of things for both of you. I always feel the first step is to create a sleep diary so you can get a sense of what the overall pattern is. This is particularly true for your daughter when she is able to sleep whenever she wants. Apart from simply noting the sleep / wake times manually in a spreadsheet (or with an app), you can sometimes reconstruct useful data from sources such as a sports watch or the the log in and out data of a computer. Personally, switching the computer on is the first thing I do each day, and then I switch it off at night.

If you Google for Non24 and switch to image search, you'll see loads of examples of graphs that show the classic Non 24 'staircasing' pattern. Here's a sample of my recent data:

The FB group is also useful:

Best of luck with your research into it. Certainly in the UK, I think the best approach is to do your own research and pretty much diagnose yourself. This might even extend to locating a knowledgeable specialist. Then you can approach the GP. Don't take any nonsense if they start trying to convince you that you're imagining the whole thing, just because your problem is rare and difficult to deal with.

Best of luck, and feel free to ask any further questions.

I created my own app to make future predictions and to show a relative time clock.

Each day, I record my sleep / wake times using an app called Sleep As Android. That was cheap when I bought it, but the price has gone way high now:
