My family has mocked me my whole life for being lazy because of my sleep schedule. “The day is wasting,” “I’ve already done xyz before you’ve had your breakfast,” “Gee AlternatePersonMan, it’s 11am nice of you to join us.” They snicker and shake their heads.
I have kids now and only finally got diagnosed when my daughter struggled with sleep the same way I do. Huge eye opener. I had no idea this was ADHD related until a few months ago. It’s crazy how many issues there are that aren’t ‘focus’ specific.
Oh, those boasts of being productive in the morning.
On the flip side, I’m usually far more productive after everyone leaves me alone by going to bed.
All that stuff they got done between 8AM and noon, I get done between midnight and 4AM.
But when they wake up to see all that you’ve done, there’s almost never any recognition. It’s just business as usual. They never stop and say that you got a lot done last night or anything, they just keep tormenting you about how lazy you are that they’re achieving so much more stuff than you in the day when they have a 5 hour head start.
This has been my experience, too. They judge me for it but they don’t realize I’m awake for the same amount of time they are, just not at the same time.
Frankly, I don’t miss the human interaction that I’m not getting by staying up so late.

Oh, there will be more issues that you discover as well. Have fun ;) or don’t, I’m not your boss.
