My sleep cycles are always irregular. I only recognize it as Non-24 when trapped inside my House of the Rising Sun for several months. Non-24 is a Sleep Disorder common among the blind. Bereft of light, the body's circadian rhythm changes. The blind often keep waking and sleeping hours longer or shorter then typical day/night diurnal patterns of non-disabled people.
Non-24 is extremely rare among sighted people. I am not blind. Yet I am totally disconnected from the normal patterns of real relationships and normal working life. My circadian rhythms lengthen as a result. I'm on SSDI for Schizoaffective Disorder, an Anxiety Disorder and PTSD. Runs in the family. As that batshit crazy tends to.
