I for one am a VERY deep sleeper. My wife can do just about anything and I won’t even startle her…

Its nearly always been like that too, my grandparents used to have to pour cold water on me to “wake me up”.

Then again, I’ve never been a morning person either… meh.

You might have Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome like I do. It's a sleep disorder where your entire circadian rhythm is locked several hours out of synch with the typical diurnal rhythm.

Symptoms include:

• Extreme difficulty in waking in the mornings
  • Even to the point of requiring multiple alarms and even outside assistance
• Extreme difficulty in falling asleep until the early-morning hours.
  • This is regardless of sleep aids - they may work the first time or two, but afterwards they're pretty ineffective.
• Grogginess that lasts into the early afternoon, and then suddenly you finally "wake up".
• Caffeine and energy drinks help very little
  • Doubly so if you're ADHD
    • In this case, you drink the shit like it's water with no real ill effects
• The strange ability to skip an entire night's worth of sleep with no ill effects, provided you are already well-rested, and compensate by getting four extra hours of sleep the next night.
  • You have an initial "sleepy" phase in the early morning, but once you push through it you're suddenly back to "normal"
  • The compensation is typically done by going to sleep a few hours earlier than normal, and sleeping a few hours later.
• You rarely get sick
  • This is a "buff" from the previous bullet point - your immune system is stronger than normal so you can tank that one night without sleep.
• Attempts to stick with a normal diurnal cycle require an inordinate amount of effort
  • As in sticking with a routine with a fervor that can be called "religious" in nature
  • This routine is easily thwarted by just one or two "late night(s)".

This disorder also applies where your circadian rhythm is longer than what is considered normal - your time of sleepiness incrementally moves forward each day, steadily cycling around the clock.

In some people, the disorder is so severe that it has prompted some medical professionals to call for this disorder to be classified as an invisible disability.

It often goes undiagnosed because many people attribute this condition to poor sleep-hygiene.

Talk to your doctor about it to see about getting referred to a sleep specialist. This can be useful because you can use the official diagnosis to set a stringent demand of a specific work shift with your employer (and make sure to get it in writing). If they disregard this and subsequently terminate your employment for missing work, then you can claim wrongful termination.

Thanks for the chapter

If someone calls this rape, I'm not going to argue. I'm mostly poking fun at how absurd I find it that he is still asleep after all of this. I get that there are heavy sleepers out there, but unless you're drugged, have a medical condition, or are exhausted to the point of collapse, being kissed and manhandled should be enough to jolt one out of sleep. I would fully understand and believe if she thought that he was awake and consenting by now. That being said, I know what type of series this is, so I'm not going to be analyzing this any deeper.

Well... I once slept so deep that I slept for 24 hours. My parents were worried that might be dead. So... Sleeping through all that makes sense to me.

I appreciate the heads up. and while MOST of that sounds like me, I’ve not drunk coffee since I was like 14, energy drinks maybe (Powerade but weened off that) I’m more of a pepsi person if I’m not freezing Half filled bottles of water to top up so I can have cold water thru the day…

yes, I often feel the waking hour creep. Once I was up for 4pm and stayed awake til 11am, full day of work, and then slept until like 8pm… lol. And yes, it take a lot of effort to reset.

I work from home now anyways so it’s a smaller issue, just a matter have having a family member handle the phones and clients during the normal business hours… lol. Hey, it works for me.

I doubt our Wakou has this issue however, or it might have been a larger issue in the past.…
