But but I would be sad about losing time spent together at dinner too.

North is ...I thought I answered this but maybe not. North is up when they need to be, but we see less of them now that we're sleeping at different time of the day. Family activity night (which started during the pandemic) is a thing of the past and after eating dinner together for most of their life, now we rarely do. I am ambivalent about this, because it is helping them get more sleep, which is a problem for so many teens, but we're losing connection time.<br /><br />This actually started last fall when they read about biphasic sleep in psychology class and decided to try it.StephLovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03888019478250380270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28402894.post-56275758591893751152022-04-27T07:49:55.872-04:002022-04-27T07:49:55.872-04:00It actually started after they learned about bipha...It actually started after they learned about biphasic sleep in psychology class and decided to try it because they had a hard time getting enough sleep on a get-up-at-the-crack-of-dawn schedule.<br /><br />They are up when they need to be and we've talked to their doctor and psychiatrist about it and they both said if it works for them fine. The main drawback is that we see a lot less of them as we are up at different times of the day. Family dinner has basically gone by the wayside.StephLovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03888019478250380270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28402894.post-55262823594911900452022-04-27T06:23:52.205-04:002022-04-27T06:23:52.205-04:00Three hours of sleep!

Sometimes I'll get an hour after dinner (especially if kids are watching TV) when I'll fall asleep. Like this: https://www.pocobrat.net/2013/12/the-kids-are-documenting-my-lapses.html<br /><br />I'm convinced my natural pattern is biphasic and maybe North's too? https://www.sleepfoundation.org/how-sleep-works/biphasic-sleep<br /><br />And I wonder if this article applies to me a bit: https://www.theatlantic.com/family/archive/2022/02/ultra-introverts-nocturnal-lives/622856/ <br /><br />Also, I did a search, and figured out I've been doing this forever. It's too late for me, clearly. <br /><br /><br />https://www.pocobrat.net/2018/12/not-my-finest-moment.html<br /><br />https://www.pocobrat.net/2008/01/whisper-hallelujah.htmlmaya https://www.blogger.com/profile/11164383180083433329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28402894.post-76170432716026282472022-04-26T07:46:52.905-04:002022-04-26T07:46:52.905-04:00When you say fractured sleep, do you mean you slee...When you say fractured sleep, do you mean you sleep at other times of the day besides the 3-6 hours a night? That's what North does. They sleep for hours after school and then stay up late at night.
