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

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

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

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 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

For the sleep centers that only conduct sleep studies between 10pm and 6am, I have a phrase that starts with “F” for you. And it’s not “Fantastic job understanding sleep disorders!” #irony #dspd #dsps #sleepdisorder #circadianrhtyhmdisorder #deslayedsleepphase

Daywalker at night: “You’re whispering and tiptoeing too loudly.” Daywalker at in the morning: “How am I supposed to get anything done if I can’t yell at my jackhammer and bang my pots with a leaf blower!? I need to live my life!”
