      In our old office we had a stove in the break room. A coworker managed to forget she was boiling eggs and smoke out the building 3 times in 4 months.

      We finally bought her a gimmicky egg cooker that would turn itself off.

          Yeah that’s generally the face folks make when I tell them that story. Highschool was a bitch to me since my wake period is generally from 8 PM to about 12 PM, so I was usually already winding down by the time school started.

            Damn that’s rough having a circadian rhyme like that.

            The closest I’d get to understanding that would be that I recently found out that I have sleep apnea severe enough to eventually kill me that was untreated most of my life. You wouldn’t expect it by looking at me because I look like a twink but there’s apparently a neurological version of the issue that skinny ppl can suffer from.

                  When I said mine sucks I was making a joke about my piss poor sleep pattern. Though given the autism and C-PTSD I may as well have a sleep disorder.

                    Ah. Are you former military or something? Sleep is still kind of a mystery to science.

                    I hope that you continue to understand wtf was causing such an abnormal schedule because based on your messages, it sounds insane.

                    I’ve never been able to stay awake for 48 hours. The 24 hour mark, even at my youngest, is GG.
