@Arletta @eonity @actuallyautistic Same, I sleep on about a 25.1 hour cycle.

After a decade of considering it an AuDHD quirk I started looking into it more a few days ago and found r/n24 on reddit and this stupidly huge document by a neuro researcher who has the condition and claims personal success with several hours of very bright morning light: circadiaware.github.io/VLiDACM

No guarantee it would help you personally, but at least it's serious research and not "grandma said this helps with sleep".

@squipo @Arletta @eonity @actuallyautistic Wow, I think I might have unintentionally stumbled on this myself! My sleep has been so much better over the last couple of weeks, and one of the things that changed is I now have all the lights on in my office in the morning for better video. Maybe better sleep too?

If that worked for you, you can also get an alarm clock that will slowly turn on a bright light to wake you up. I tried one and found that it just made me roll over, so I wasn't facing the light, and took it a step further - wired all the lights in my bedroom to turn on (No escape! Mwahahaha!) and it's made a huge difference for me.
