Yes I do take vitamin D capsules but from what I heard it’s not the same as being outside in the sun. Whenever I get blood tests I constantly show up as deficient in vitamin D. My sleep time is 7 am - 4 pm.

So I always wake up right after the window where the sun is strongest and the UV rays interact with skin to create vitamin D. Add in the time it takes to get ready and eat “breakfast” and all that and I’m usually only out by 5-6 pm by when it’s too weak. Then the sun sets so early and I never have enough time to be out and see the things I want to see. I literally live in the darkness and I hate it.

I’ve tried so many alarms and I just keep hitting snooze because I’m exhausted. I’ve tried putting them across the room and the same thing. The worst curse aside having DSPD is that I also need like 10-11 hours of sleep to be able to function, even at 8 I’m exhausted. I’ve also tried going to sleep earlier and it just never works because I’m not tired earlier and because I wake up so late by the time I finish everything I need to do for the day it’s always around 6 am.

It’s been grey and rainy all winter and now that it’s finally sunny I’m stuck inside sleeping all day. How can I fix this? Does anyone else struggle with this side of things?

Hi everyone, dealing with some serious apartment neighbours from hell. I’m unfortunate enough to live in a flat, my dream is to be able to afford a house in the woods because it’s the only place I won’t be surrounded by noisy people all the time and can have some peace finally, but I’m broke I fear and can’t even get a job when I’m so anxious all day that I literally can’t even think aside my other health issues. I’m in a constant state of anxiety over all these noisy neighbours and I really can’t take it anymore, I can’t even sleep. Guy below me has zero life, no job, no hobbies aside from making people miserable - blasts music and bass everyday from 9 am - 9 pm. Every. Single. Day. This is legit hell on earth, I can’t relax or get peace in my own house so I’ve resorted to staying awake at night for some peace which comes with it’s own problems.

Now some “lovely” new neighbours moved in downstairs. Ever since they’ve arrived whenever they’re awake they are CONSTANTLY, I mean constantly slamming and banging shit. I don’t even understand if they’re doing construction or DIY or something because it’s just nonstop, been going on from 7 am this morning on a Sunday too when people want to sleep in. Not only that but they’re yapping constantly so loud that I can hear it from two floors above them. I stomp my foot when they get rowdy to make a point but either they don’t get it or don’t care and they keep doing it?

Does anyone know any tips of how to deal with this? Asking politely has not worked, I have confronted the bass thumping one who’s lived here for 5 years. Council doesn’t care, police doesn’t care, so I just need something to make it liveable until I move out. Has anyone had any success with NFH like this with noise cancelling? Like specifically for thumping bass or door slamming. Hopefully something that is affordable because I’m broke.
