I actually had this happen once. My mental health actually improved, but it was untenable for my job and social life unfortunately. It was kinda nice for a couple months though.
Afaik, the effect depends on if you have unusual circadian rhythm or not
Yeah, I noticed my rythem in absence of anything teathering it to the socially acceptable world is about 28 hours. Weird that I am not alone in this apparently.
There's dozens of us. Dozens!
Slightly more than two dozen, actually.
i'm pretty confident it's an evolutionary adaption to ensure there are people in the tribe that are wide awake when others are sleeping, to keep an eye on things.
same thing with neurodivergence, sexualities, and left-handedness; it's all stuff that's been boosting our survival as a species when a portion of the population has those differences.
The next phase of human evolution is here, and it’s gay, autistic, left handed, and sleeping at odd hours. The rest of humanity has yet to realize the end of their epoch is nigh.
People used to wake up in the middle of the night for a couple of hours then go back to sleep:

Sometimes I really hate the modern world. Especially working remotely doing what could be asynchronous work with colleagues, why the hell can't we just sleep whenever we want, as long as the work gets done.
