I'm retired and I still do this.

Yeah, checks out

TIL I'm neurodivergent

Even on a day at home.

Its the light, the noises outside and the possibility that others may ring your doorbell/call you.

I do enjoy a sunny day but the only time i can rest is in darkness.

Me too

Revenge Bedtime Procrastination

Am I supposed to be in this post?

This is all humans

This is part of why I like winter, it's dark all the time so I get to go outside in a chill environment and when I come home it's dark and chill again so I can relax.

edit: I do find city noises very calming though, as long as it's not construction noises or a lawnmower

post your raads-r score I'm compiling a scoreboard

A variant of this phrase seems to comes up in every neurodivergent community thread.

All humans piss, but only those with untreated diabetes piss every half an hour.

It's not just about the action, but the frequency or context of the action as well.

All humans get anxious, but some people are anxious all of the time. At that point it's deemed divergent from what is typical.

All humans get distracted, but some people get distracted considerably easier and more regularly than others.

All humans can focus, but some people will focus for 12h straight without moving to eat or go to the toilet.

Frequency and context matter.

Boutta go do this rn lol

It's not just about the action, but the frequency or context of the action as well.

I'd add the intensity of the action as well.

I think I'm neurotypical and I stayed awake for 24 hours the other day... idk why but I was just binge watching stuff lol

Double this if you have young children in your home.
