“I’m so tired. Today’s the day I’ll finally be able to fall asleep before midnight.” - Me, every day, for the first 10 years of my sleep disorder. #DelayedSleepPhaseDisorder #DSPS #DSPD #CircadianRhythmDisorder #DSPDproblems #Sleep #IfYoureTiredEnoughYoullBeAbleToSleepEarly #Not

How to play an endless loop of phone tag: Call office in the late afternoon. Get answering machine and leave message. Get call back in the morning while asleep. Repeat ad infinitum. #DSPD #DSPS #sleepdisorder #DSPDproblems #IHateItHere #DelayedSleepPhaseDisorder #CircadianRhythm

100% accurate.

When you say “I work nights” because working at night is socially acceptable but having a sleep disorder is not. #DSPD #DSPS #DelayedSleepPhaseDisorder #CircadianRhythmDisorder #DSPDproblems

Me: Gets blood drawn at 5pm.
Phlebotomist: “You know this has to be a fasting blood draw, right?”
Me: “I know. I haven’t had breakfast yet.”
Phlebotomist: “?”

@chrislhayes It's obvious from recent accounts by doctors and symptomatic patients on Twitter that doctors are still unable to test many suspected coronavirus cases. @SecAzar is either out of touch or lying: doctors do NOT have the ability to test every patient with suspected coronavirus.

To the normal sleepers complaining about how tired they'll be this week: "Why don't you just go to bed earlier?" :) #DSPD #DelayedSleepPhase

Oh, piss off.

@simonmaginn I just found another person who took Mirapex and basically “cured” their DSPD. They posted in the Facebook group...I tagged you under the post.

So when daywalkers fly east and have trouble going to sleep and getting up on time in their new time zone, it must mean they developed poor sleep hygiene, right doctors? #ugh #sleep #DSPS #DSPD #sleepdisorder #DelayedSleepPhaseDisorder #circadianrhythm

[DSPD Problems @DSPD_Problems]

When I travel multiple time zones to the west, I can easily go to sleep and wake up at “normal” times. I guess planes have magical powers that bestow me with good sleep hygiene and take away my “laziness.” *MASSIVE EYE ROLL* #DSPD #sleep #DSPS #DelayedSleepPhaseDisorder

When you almost sleep through a 2pm phone appointment with scientist who is studying your sleep disorder. #DSPD #DSPS #DSPDproblems #delayedsleepphasedisorder #sleep

When you think you’ve won a small victory because there are extended phone hours, but then you realize you’re talking to a call center and not the actual business and your soul is crushed. #DSPS #DSPD #DSPDproblems #sleep #circadianrhythmdisorder

Me: Well, I have something called Delayed Sleep Phase Disorder.
Doctor: Exercise usually helps with sleep.
Me: Exercise?!? Why didn’t I think of that in 25 years of having this disorder? I’m cured!! Praise the Lord it’s a miracle!!! *Gospel Music*🎶🎶 #DSPDproblems #DSPD #DSPS
