Winter babies might be more prone to sleep issues
People born in the winter months could be twice as likely to struggle with sleep disorders compared to those born during other seasons, according to Fan Dongsheng, a sleep specialist at a university in Beijing. He noted that about 40% of his 700 patients were born in November, December, or January. Meanwhile, those born in the spring, summer, or fall made up about 20% of his patient group each. Fan suggests that fetuses might be more sensitive to external stimuli during the winter months before birth, and he believes those prenatal experiences could have a negative impact on their long-term sleeping habits.

I’ve always been something of a winter baby—it seems my internal clock is just wired differently—so I find myself gravitating toward long naps during the day, even though I often struggle to actually drift off once night falls here in the States.

Oh, please, don't try to lecture me about my schedule—if I decide to go vacuuming at 11:00 PM, then that's when it happens. It’s quite simple, really; I just happen to have a much higher surge of energy during the late hours. By the time I finally crawl into bed, I find myself just tossing and turning for a while... maybe burn off a little steam, sort of drift along with the quiet, and if I'm lucky, I might actually fall asleep by 1:00 AM—though some nights, it drags on until 3:00 in the morning. It's pitch black by then, of course.

That’s nothing. I guess you’re just one of those morning people. 😁
I hit my stride around 2:00 AM, usually staying wired until 4:00 or 5:00. It’s a massive headache, honestly, because nobody around me seems to get it. I find myself wondering why. 😁

I mean, I usually just count sheep until I hit three, though sometimes I might drift up toward like... maybe three and a half? 😁 😁 😁

I was born on June 19th, so I guess I just have sleep issues 😳
