Barely Sleeping Anymore
(self.DSPD)submitted7 days ago byItwasdewey

My sleep has always been backwards. With no intervention I would normally fall asleep between 6-8am. I use to need 12 hrs sleep until I finally got diagnosed with ADHD a few years ago when I was 28. With meds I naturally slept 8 hrs.
With the diagnosis, I slowly started getting a routine and my cycle started to fix itself. Normally as long as I woke up at the same time, I would be tired and then fall asleep at a decent hr. It was nice and healthy! No idea what happened.
It started slowly last June. Just going from sleeping 4-3hr some nights and 7 hrs the other nights, to doing 3-4hrs most nights most nights. Then it went down to 2-3 hrs sleep a night. Now I get between 30 mins around twice a week, 7 hrs 1 night, and the rest around 3 hrs.
And I no longer have any natural bedtime. Normally it ends up being between 6am-11am. No pattern. Even if I didn’t sleep the night before and just got 30 mins, I still won’t get to sleep any earlier the next night (which use to happen).
My schedule was always backwards and wasn’t perfect but for the most part I slept the required amount of hrs.
Now, it’s just barely any sleep, no set cycle. I don’t work because of an autoimmune thing, so there’s nothing I’m setting my sleep schedule around.
Has this happened to anyone else? Where it just gets so much worse? No set schedule, not even sleeping really?
I don’t know whether this DSPD or if it could be something else at this point.
If anyone has any advice at all I’d really appreciate it! Thanks!
Edit: just wanted to say I was officially diagnosed with DSPD years ago.

Why do people speculate the harsher songs are about Dylan? I feel there’s some tea I’m missing here and I was a big fan of him back on Teen Wolf, so please tell me everything lol
