I know what exactly what you mean... my brain apparantly only uses it's "shutdown" button 4 days a month! I'm on day 3 now, and will probably pass out tonight again, but soon I'll go back to my 4hr nights... and i canot grasp time AT ALL... minutes and hours are the same, and taht goes for days and weeks too, makes for a very hard time trying to recall something for the benefit of somebody else.... It was 2 days ago, no wait 3 weeks ago that I, blah blah blah.... very frustrating and not easily comprehensible for others when I explain I'm time retardent
For me it's annoying because I get bored and have no company all hours of the night, and boredom irritates me...
I know it's not the same, bcoz for you it's not the norm, but like you said, the switch has flipped, so now you just gotta wait it out until it reverts back...
I'll keep you company if you like
