"Solitude" displays the other side of DSPD (delayed sleep phase disorder). Though "Nocturnal (DSPD I) suggested that the solitude of night can be a welcomed thing, this piece acknowledges that we do need connection in our lives and a consistent night-life strips that; the once welcomed solitude becomes overwhelming. This is particularly a challenge in a society that stigmatizes night wakefulness (deeming those who partake as degenerates) and normalizes a very particular daytime schedule i.e. the 9-5 work day.
