I recently took my first automatic driving lesson with my new instructor and I absolutely loved it, and I was awake at the right time for the lesson, so I felt totally alert and ready. My instructor is disabled herself, has decades of experience teaching neurodivergent people how to drive, and is aware of my irregular sleep-wake times, so things are probably going to work out just fine for me anyway.

Because of my instructor's own disabilities, she can only do lessons with me between 9am and 2pm. My next lesson is going to be on July 3rd at 11:30am, but by then I'll probably be waking up in the late afternoon or maybe even later in the evening. I'm not going to have had much sleep. She told me we'll probably just do less intensive things in the lessons where I'm tired.

I just wanted to know how other people with non-24 found or are finding their lessons and what worked or is working best for them. Ideally, I'd like to know about the experiences of people in the UK, as passing your driving test here is extremely difficult and the market for instructors, lessons and tests is insanely competitive and still backed up because of Covid.
