Delayed Sleep Phase Disorder problems. Raising awareness of a very unfunny disorder, one tweet at a time.

“I’m so tired. Today’s the day I’ll finally be able to fall asleep before midnight.” - Me, every day, for the first 10 years of my sleep disorder. #DelayedSleepPhaseDisorder #DSPS #DSPD #CircadianRhythmDisorder #DSPDproblems #Sleep #IfYoureTiredEnoughYoullBeAbleToSleepEarly #Not


How to play an endless loop of phone tag: Call office in the late afternoon. Get answering machine and leave message. Get call back in the morning while asleep. Repeat ad infinitum. #DSPD #DSPS #sleepdisorder #DSPDproblems #IHateItHere #DelayedSleepPhaseDisorder #CircadianRhythm


100% accurate.

When you say “I work nights” because working at night is socially acceptable but having a sleep disorder is not. #DSPD #DSPS #DelayedSleepPhaseDisorder #CircadianRhythmDisorder #DSPDproblems


Me: Gets blood drawn at 5pm. Phlebotomist: “You know this has to be a fasting blood draw, right?” Me: “I know. I haven’t had breakfast yet.” Phlebotomist: “?” #DSPD #DSPS #sleep #sleepdisorder #circadianrhythmdisorder #delayedsleepphasedisorder #ThingsOnlyPeopleWithDSPDUnderstand

To the normal sleepers complaining about how tired they'll be this week: "Why don't you just go to bed earlier?" :) #DSPD #DelayedSleepPhase


So when daywalkers fly east and have trouble going to sleep and getting up on time in their new time zone, it must mean they developed poor sleep hygiene, right doctors? #ugh #sleep #DSPS #DSPD #sleepdisorder #DelayedSleepPhaseDisorder #circadianrhythm


When I travel multiple time zones to the west, I can easily go to sleep and wake up at “normal” times. I guess planes have magical powers that bestow me with good sleep hygiene and take away my “laziness.” *MASSIVE EYE ROLL* #DSPD #sleep #DSPS #DelayedSleepPhaseDisorder

When it’s a month away and you’re already excited for the extra sleep you’ll get during the switch to standard time. #standardtime #daylightsavings #sleep #DSPD #DSPS #delayedsleepphasesyndrome #sleepdisorder


When you almost sleep through a 2pm phone appointment with scientist who is studying your sleep disorder. #DSPD #DSPS #DSPDproblems #delayedsleepphasedisorder #sleep


When you think you’ve won a small victory because there are extended phone hours, but then you realize you’re talking to a call center and not the actual business and your soul is crushed. #DSPS #DSPD #DSPDproblems #sleep #circadianrhythmdisorder


Things only people with #DelayedSleepPhaseDisorder know: websites have “business hours” too. #DSPD #DSPS #circadianrhythm #socialsecurity #sleep

Me: Well, I have something called Delayed Sleep Phase Disorder. Doctor: Exercise usually helps with sleep. Me: Exercise?!? Why didn’t I think of that in 25 years of having this disorder? I’m cured!! Praise the Lord it’s a miracle!!! *Gospel Music*🎶🎶 #DSPDproblems #DSPD #DSPS


For the sleep centers that only conduct sleep studies between 10pm and 6am, I have a phrase that starts with “F” for you. And it’s not “Fantastic job understanding sleep disorders!” #irony #dspd #dsps #sleepdisorder #circadianrhtyhmdisorder #deslayedsleepphase


When they think you’re wearing pajamas because you just woke up, but you know you’re wearing pajamas because you’re about to go to sleep. #morningdeliveries #DSPD #DSPS #circadianrhythmdisorder #delayedsleepphasedisorder


6am: The hour when people with #DSPD return home and cross paths with morning joggers...and both parties are confused. #delayedsleepphasedisorder #sleep #circadianrhythmdisorder


Daywalker at night: “You’re whispering and tiptoeing too loudly.” Daywalker at in the morning: “How am I supposed to get anything done if I can’t yell at my jackhammer and bang my pots with a leaf blower!? I need to live my life!”
