@lizzard @autistics 1/ I'm not autistic, just an adjacent neurodivergent.
So it was weird reading this and understanding other people do this... and it's disruptive for them.
For me it's normal. I guess not 'normal' normal. 👀
This is how I suppose you could say I 'cope'...
I leaned into the early morning. No one else was awake, so it was peaceful and quiet... so it was seductive.no one expecting anything. Just me time.
It never crossed my mind this was a problem.

@lizzard @autistics 2/ if I wake up 'too early', I don't fight it. I just live the day and plan on early sleep to restore the circadian. Melatonin can help, as can Valerian or soursop tea, but I don't depend on them. The only time this did not work I was having a heart attack and did not know. So I don't know that this will be useful. But your post was useful to me. I learned others have the problem. And so this thread is really cool with how others respond to it. ///
