So in a perfect world, how could a job be structured so that fellas with sleep disorders could work (consensually) but not have it suck ass?

    I used to have a work schedule where I had a number of hours I had to work in a year, but was otherwise almost free to arrange them however I wanted. This is obviously not applicable to every job, but where it is, I could see it being a huge help to people with sleep disorders.

      You could even have 3 different jobs you're trained to do; maybe one at a factory, one driving a bus, one as a glass blower I don't know. Then just open up your phone when you're ready to go to work and see which job needs hands at the moment.

      There would probably be at home work opportunities that anyone at all could do as well.

    I'd probably be fine if I worked a regular 9-5 shift (or maybe 10-6), but that doesn't exist in my field of work

    Years ago when I had a drinking problem (it really messes with your sleep) I worked 11pm to 7am and I liked it quite a bit. I blocked out my windows and like 95% of my friends and family and it was all good

    I worked a remote job with flexible hours.

    Sometimes I would sleep during the afternoon, since I knew if I passed up the chance to sleep, I wouldn't get another any time soon. Then I'd work overnight after waking up.

    The problem for me was never the schedule, but the fact I never had any energy to work, no matter at what time or how much sleep I had gotten.

    I feel like if I worked 4 hour days I'd be much more productive and less anxious about my performance. I no longer suffer from sleeping disorders after years of treatment.
