Yes. I have odd hours, and nothing helps me stay on a schedule. For two days within the last week I was awake for 30 hours and then again for 28 hours. I am in a depressive episode at the moment, but because my severe anxiety disorders, sleeping becomes almost impossible. My attachment to the internet seems ridiculous to some, but it my way to cope with reality. Distraction, distraction, distraction. For hours on end.
