I fit the description of the dolphin. I am a creative person and that fits too. I wonder how childhood trauma affects my sleep. I never felt safe throughout my childhood. These traumas weren’t as much of an issue during the day but at night, these issues would fill my thoughts.

1000% never feeling safe is a recipe for insomnia

I'm a total dolphin and wake up anxious. 😂😂😂😂

I used to threaten my family not to even speak to me while I wake up in the mornings, and that makes sound now😂

So interesting! I was definitely a Dolphin like Megan until my mid 60s. Now I am a lion. 😊

I wake up abruptly because of my sleep apnea, but breathwork helps my heart rate and fall back asleep.

Being a Dolphin (according to the quiz)and having ADHD😓 I've noticed if I can just wrestle myself up around 6:30,to 7:00 am,I feel my best. The issue is to get myself to sleep on time,and having some routines in place to calm my mind & body before I go to bed. The problem is I keep procrastinating. Like,I know what I should do,but I just don't(common issue with ADHD) Any advice?

Sounds like Pathological Demand Avoidance with ADHD.

As a Dolphin, it's reassuring to know that it's genetically programmed...and not something I'm doing wrong. Structure works some days better than others. I was also diagnosed with REM sleep disorder/restless leg syndrome. Is this correlated with being a dolphin?🐬

@TheSleepDoctor 3 месяца назад

It could be, you should be working with a sleep specialist.

I'm a dolphin. It started in 2013 due to a traumatic experience. Since then, my sleep pattern has changed to what it is now. I have to try meditation and other forms of exercise aside from walking and strength training which aren't enough to lower my anxiety. I will be joining a Tai chi class next week for the first time. The instructor is very helpful by giving me tips and meditation videos. I am looking forward to joining his class soon.

@@bella4644 Tai Chi sounds amazing! I took, used to rely heavily on yoga/ Pilates and walks to calm myself and relieve stress! It works wonders! I hope to have more time soon to return to those things

Is it possible to be a hybrid of a wolf & dolphin? Because I tend to fall within both categories. My natural sleep cycle is waking up around 6-7:30 but I don't go to sleep til about 12-1am but I wake up constantly every few hours and have diagnosed insomnia. I am more of a night owl but I also have bursts of energy through the day. Also does this affect those who work late shifts/graveyard shifts and split shifts? what is the best way to combat those who work overnights?
