Enneagram Type 5 Board Archive You're not the only onePosted by Abi on July 21, 2000 at 21:52:38: In Reply to: A 5 confession - has anyone else ever experienced the same thing? posted by Margaret on July 19, 2000 at 20:57:05:
: I slept during the day and was wide awake at night. : I used to like the night better because I felt more comfortable and less invaded and intruded. : (I was also the only woman who was a night owl wherever I went.)
: No one could see me : The night always felt safer : I sought safety from people's emotional negativity at night when they were sleeping. : It works at times when I need it. : My question is - has anyone else ever experience a sleep, tired, awake time change directly porportionate to as well as a direct instant reaction to the amount of stress that goes on in one's life? : Or am I the only one here? Forgive me for editing your post, it was the easiest way to highlight the points I have felt myself. Most of my life, I have done my best think/work at night. Several years back, at a time in my life when I didn't have to work in the outside world, I, too would sleep during the day and do my research at night. I lived in a very small seaside town where it was perfectly safe to walk around the village at all hours. I loved it! To answer your question, I do experience a change directly proportionate to the amount of stress in my life. I also have a tendency for lucid dreaming and find that when asleep I can usually solve the problems causing stress. The benefit of problem solving with lucid dreams is that you're not limited to solutions that could only work in the "real" world.
