It’s absolutely true that a lot of modern-day problems with being tired come from bad sleep habits. What I’m talking about is a real phenomenon that isn’t being in front of a screen too close to bedtime. If anyone wants to know more, here’s a 3-minute video from AsapSCIENCE about what research shows.

    My natural cycle appears to be wake up in the afternoon, fall asleep just as or after the sun comes up. Varies with seasonality.

    I also sunburn extremely easily, prefer to be a recluse 99% of the time, and lately im dressing in black pants, a black jacket and whatever undershirt.

    Having been injured multiple times and having tasted my own blood… I don’t seek it out through self harm or anything like that, but I do find the taste… interesting, and unique.

    Doctor Scientist Person, is Vampirism a genetic disposition, or a phenotypical expression based on environmental factors and epigenetics?

        No, I like garlic in reasonable amounts, and I love running water.

        See it actually gets worse. I am originally from the PNW, love exploring waterfalls and streams…

        But also I have at various times in my life had friends tell me that I appear to be sparkling, I go check in a mirror and yep, somehow, some little reflective … piece of sand sized object or objects are on my face.

        Never once have I had glitter in my home I somehow could have gotten stuck to my face, never been able to figure out where the stuff comes from or what it is.

        It often happens when I am in a very good mood. And it isn’t sweat. Its always tiny specks I can flick off.

        Also, it took me forever to figure this out until I was determined to be Autistic so at least thats a reasonable explanation: I legitimately do have a heightened hearing sense compared to basically everyone I have ever met.

        Even worse, I at one point met a person who said that they had escaped from an apparent actual Vampire kind of abusive harem sex cult type thing…

        Yeah. I have never even read Twilight but uh …

        Yeah awkward autistic pnw flavored minor vampire twink guy here, apparently.
