Speaking as someone who is actually diagnosed with chronic insomnia and delayed sleep phase disorder, college sucked because my lack of sleep would affect my focus and concentration and that would kill me on exams where a sloppy mistake (circling the wrong answer) or running out of town would drop my grade significantly even if I fully understood the material.
I performed much better on homework assignments where there was less time pressure because I could work on them around my irregular sleep schedule. I'm grateful now for working as a programmer because it affords me the same luxury - with my condition I simply can't exist in a 9-5 society.
(Before people comment, yes I have tried melatonin and no, recreational drugs don't help me sleep either)

- pure_simplicity 5y agoHave you considered some form of light therapy ? (Very bright lights in the morning, no artificial light in the evening) I hope there's something out there to help you. Not for the sake of conformity to society, but just for the benefits of high quality sleep.
