As someone with ADHD I find it’s a common experience for many that we stay up all night. I’ve fought that in the past but now I kinda feel like I should just accept it. Go to bed late, get up late. However that’s not very conducive to a normal business routine.

How do you all handle your mornings and nights? Is it worth it even to try to change?

I have recently learned that this is called Delayed sleep phase syndrome (DSPS) and is very common in many people 'on the spectrum'. I think it's nonsense to call it a syndrome but that's modern society for you.

Anyway, I usually don't sleep before 4am, often even later. It's rough 😬

How do you deal with it?

I kinda.. don't lol. But I work just 4 days a week and on 3 of those I start relatively late (10:30), so that helps a bit.
