Context: My “hardware” was “made in China” (I was born in China)
Okay sorry stupid joke, but I remember having a conversation about global manufacturing and how everything is “made in China” then my mom was like: “You are also made in China” lmfao
(But seriously tho, it’s just depression, can’t sleep, hence this showerthought)
I still remember when I first got here, I remember the jetlag. It’s almost exactly 12 hours apart, literally just flipping day and night. I remember my brain getting so confused the first couple weeks.
Well… maybe. You’ve accidentally come up with something that actually exists, called Delayed Sleep Phase Disorder. And about half of people with DSPD have depression. 😬 (Also common in ADHDers.)
The circadian rhythms of people with DSPD are offset compared to people without it, so it is a bit like time zones in that respect. And if you try to “fight” it, by getting up early and holding down a 9-5 job, the effects are often compared to jet lag.
I believe that going camping is actually an effective treatment for it. Something about natural day/night cycles helps reset your clock.
