There are all sorts of people in the world. No one can be expected to understand every one else, but a little acknowledgement and respect for people who are different goes a long way.

I do know I'm weird, though I'm not alone in being that way. I guarantee you that in many places and situations, you are the weird one.

All in all I'd rather just not have to sleep. That would give me 6-8 hours of my day back each day...that would be REALLY helpful.

Years of having to live in an "A" schedule world has left me too tired to make good use of my energetic periods, and getting up early in the mornings has only gotten worse, not better, as my sinuses, stomach and bowels rebel when I get up as I must to keep my job. Fortunately, we are getting some recognition, but there's no telling how long it will be before we're taken seriously.

One day soon I'll be free of the shackles of employment and free to set my own sleeping schedules. Then I'll happy sleep eight to ten hours a day, and I'll be able to pack my waking hours with productivity like I used to.

@Kyussai: Wow! You just described my sleep rythm . I used to be a Wal-Mart cart-pusher weekdays from 2p-11p, go to bed at 3p and get up at 10a. And even though I've moved and now seek employment , I still follow that sleeping pattern to this day.

Well if I ended up with more time no matter which way I seriously would spend it watching more anime, that's the main thing I've been slacking on and feel bad about lately. =D

Don't remind me of those situations. But on the whole i still don't want more time.

Oh my gosh thank you! For all these years I've been telling people that sleeping during the day is normal for me and they all treat me like I have some kind of disease! My normal schedule is - go to bed at crack of dawn, sleep till pm, energy kicks in by evening, good till about 1-2 am then I start getting tired and wind down for the night.

I cannot go to sleep "early" and get up in the am, when I do I feel sick, tired, and by noon I'm so exhausted that if I don't want to do anything but go to sleep. I've fought with employers, friends, and family members over this and finally resorted to taking only evening jobs and not doing anything during the weekdays unless it's business or at night. But people still think because I sleep during the day I'm a good for nothing. It's frustrating.

But at least I know I'm not alone.

I wish for more time, not more copies of me running around. The former allows me to do more things that I wanted; the latter will be disastrous to the world at large.

[Hotaru Suzume]

I do not wish to be omnipresent. Although I have things to do also... Just going along at my own pace.

[psycho bolt]

I wish I had more time, I could get a lot of things done. And some how I seem to be rushing these days, more time could help me slow my pace. I tend to procrastinate before tests or deadlines. I want more time to procrastinate! LoLz. Excuse me erm to procrastinate and work at the same time! I dunno anymorez

[Papaya]

I honestly think I spend more time mulling over what I should have done with my time than actually doing something with it.

I just need impetus, I guess. I'm sure a lot of people feel the same way. I need to spend a lot more time studying, for example. Every time after an exam, I tell myself--this time, you're going to study a week ahead. Nope, I still end up cramming the night before, and after I get my grade back, I think "wow... if I just had one more day."

Does anyone else feel this way.

Ok.. I know this is a little off topic but I think you just described the new Lifetime movie Starring Molly Shannon called “More of Me” where Molly is torn between being a mother, a loving wife, and an environmental activist. She is doing her best to just to get through her chaotic life… But anyway… my suggestion to you is to try and get a day off to just relax… You’re going to go crazy if you just keep doing too many things.

I do a lot, I constantly say that there just aren't enough hours in the day... gosh it's been forever since I've been on here...

Hahaha it's funny you mention that movie I actually saw a commercial for it today. It's going to be on Lifetime this Saturday. I'm so there....do you think she will have any gestures of Mary Katherine Gallagher? It would be awesome if she did!!!

I'm the same way, as well. Whenever I get time off from work and school I revert to my normal schedule (sleep during the LATE night and early morning and awake from midday to late night). When I'm forced into the standards of getting up at 6:30 AM, I tend to be less productive, more depressed, less sociable, and just all-around more tired. Not that I'm a horrible person without sleep lol, but my point is I'd be enjoying life all the more were I to get the proper sleep I need (rather than trying to go to bed at 9-10 PM and staring at the ceiling or just saying screw it and staying up).
