I am a lot like this. My natural state: I'm wide awake at 5am, ready to go. Get tired around 8pm, get to bed by 10pm. Repeat.

I've rarely been allowed to do that now though. I'm surrounded by drunks and noise and of course everyone else stays up all night until 2-4am making as much noise as possible and then stay in bed all morning (sometimes they don't though).

This means I'm forced to stay awake until the early hours and it's so unnatural for me. I can't do anything, I'm absolutely useless after 9pm. And then in the morning I'm exhausted and trying to sleep longer doesn't help at all (in fact most of the time it makes me feel worse. And of course on some days that is not an option because I have to go out early in the morning (between 7.30-9) and I need to get up early to get ready.

It's always made me feel so odd, being so different.
