Do you have a solid sleep schedule? The sheer thrill of pulling an all-nighter and somehow producing a brilliant report is an ADHD superpower...and a terrible habit.

This works when you’re in your 20s and maybe early 30s. Not so much when you have kids that wake up before the sun rises and you’re over 40. To summarize, hell yes I have a sleep schedule. Unless someone is dying, it can wait until tomorrow.

My S/O will (thankfully) not let me do this

Nope. I swear I have the delayed sleep cycle disorder. Always having a meeting a 8am makes this incredible difficult to suffer from. It doesn’t matter how tired I am during the day or the fact I don’t even have things I am working on, I cannot fall asleep before 1am and therefore only get 6 hours of sleep a night at most.

I read this article once about how that is some people's natural rhythm and that the admiration of morning people really has no merit as there is no evidence it is better to have that rhythm.

Rarely.

As a kid I was horrible. This got a bit better in my 20’s/30’s when I had a very rigid and busy schedule from 7 am to 11pm. but after I started running businesses I sleep when I can.

I can’t pull all nighters anymore but I have many nights of 2-3 hours sleep when I’m hyperfocused on a project or on a deadline. I can usually make up for it with taking time off after completing deliverables.

It’s not good for health, especially if you don’t make up sleep soon after.
