I lost my ability to string sentences earlier today from being so sleepy. My partner could see I was getting VERY frustrated of it, were kind to me, and understood my gibberish anyway. That stopped me from crying and collapsing.
It is painful to stay awake, and even harder if you are surrounded by people who don't get it and who womt let you nap.
I'm so glad I don't live like that anymore and can rest instead.
You can also read my comic for FREE in my Ko-fi, download high-res images of it for personal use, and support my disabled butt to survive life as an artist in one KOFI!
Please share, so those who love supporting disabled artists can see this and get their money's worth sneak peeks, art downloads, and good karma. <3
New comic for my disabled folks to experience Brain Fog! I no longer promote my comic in FB so please share, visit, and subscribe to my little Idiopathic Hypersomnia awareness comic for FREE!
A lot of the comic strips are relatable for those who don't have this disabling sleep disorder. <3
You can also read the comic for free in my Ko-fi, leave me a little donation so I can keep going (art is the only job I can do), download the comic in high-res for personal use (like to rub it into ableist family members' faces!), and see my other art. (:
If you want to know what it is like to live a day in my shoes - down some sleeping pills and try not to fall asleep. (: Literally.

Would you like to know what IH is really like?
Here is a mini-movie about it by #HypersomniaFoundation
Please share to spread #IdiopathicHypersomnia awareness! <3
Mu dreams are deceiving - I dreamt that I looked at my watch and it was 7am. It was not really 7am...
This is one of the reasons why getting up in the morning with IH is a nightmare. Reality is malliable and full of dreams that lie.
Please boost. I need to find an answer for what's going on. If anybody has suggestions on what to have investigated with my doctor, I would appreciate hearing them.
I have sleep apnea, but it's treated "successfully" with an APAP. I'm starting to worry this is never going to clear up.
Was going to get some job hunting done today. Instead I have spent the whole day feeling like crap, too tired to move and struggling to keep my eyes open. Why does this happen to me every single day? Even while taking a medication specifically indicated for wakefulness.
Exactly so. The number of times I've had to explain to healthcare professionals that I have a diagnosed sleep disorder and that no, I will not *ever* be able to make an appointment before 13:00 astounds me.
This will be unlikely to change, so simply offering me a different 09:00 appointment will not solve the problem. 
Fun fact for #delayedsleepphase #insomnia #sleepdisorder friends (proof that it’s society that’s wrong, not you)
For millennia humans’ natural sleep defense was community, ie when the whole tribe sleeps at once everyone becomes an incredibly easy target for all kinds of horrible misfortune.
SO if socially unacceptable sleep hours have always felt right to you no matter how hard you try…you’re basically a community hero forced into obsolescence by modernity :)
@poppacalypse oh, short naps are not easy for me either. I mostly had to take naps in public or semi-public places where it was easier to wake up because there was so much stimulation around you.
Getting things done actually hasn't been too hard as long as I'm rested. Doing work as part of a team is hard if it's a long project because of all the meetings, but most of the time I'm a solo dev and nearly all of my clients have been with me a long time. The mutual familiarity helps a lot. They know how I work, most know about my sleep issues, and I know them so well they don't need to explain very much for me to know exactly what they need.
There's only a few days a month when I can't arrange to be awake for at least a couple of normal business hours so as long as people can plan a week ahead to schedule meetings, it's tolerable for me.
Having a life outside of work is where things get dicey because social schedules are more unpredictable and harder to juggle.
@poppacalypse hey that’s great! I’ve always had like 10 alarms to wake me up and it’s just like your story once I’m able to find my natural sleep times. I just wake up naturally 7-8 hours afterwards. Unfortunately it’s hard to figure out when that natural time should be on any given day when it always creeps forward.
Even when I can’t find it, it’s easier for me to just go to bed 2 hours later every day because that’s like establishing a normal bedtime even if it’s not the ideal bedtime.
Trying to get up at the same time every day for me is like trying to get up 2 hours earlier every day. You can’t do it for long without consequences.
