I have super bad insomnia. But I've always been a night owl so that doesn't help.

My dad thinks that a night job would be the best type of job for me ... He also told me that night time was when he was at his most creative ...

I think more clearly at night time.

Me too, I've just accepted it but when someone tries to arrange a day out on a certain day, I'm usually worried will i have slept the night before? will i be really tired and in a bad mood on that day, so i usually reply, "ill let you know nearer the time", then i worry they think I'm not intrested in meeting when i am. Whenever I've had a job interview or am travelling by plane somewhere, you can gaurentee i won't get any sleep the night before, leaving me frazzled and stressed the next day, I like to save the precious few sleeping meds i get to take in case i have something important to do the next day.

This has been a big cause of disruption for me, I've learned to accept it and just sleep whenever I'm tired but other people have a problem with it but they just don't understand.

Can't get to sleep, trouble waking up a lot of the time. Initial insomnia was the Drs name for it, over-thinking about things really, since childhood
