I'm sleepng far too much

Post by **DiscoDave** » Sat Feb 25, 2006 2:34 pm

So my typical sleeping pattern is something like to go bed at about 1am/2am and then wake up at 10/11 for lectures and stuff like that. But if i dont have my alarm set i'll easially sleep past mid day. Ie today i've just got up and its 2:30pm and i went to bed at about 1.

My sleeping pattern hasn't changed a lot in the past year but this is getting rather weird

I even feel tired, when having about 11/12 hours sleep lol

Is it something i should be concerned about?

you should eventually set a goal of a 7:00am wake-up. you'll feel better and get yourself set for when yer done school and have to work.

it'll probly be tough but you "will" get used to it.

7:00am is far too early for me lol. I can manage 8am ok. I suppose i really should start as im trying to loose a few pounds by going to the gym and I really should start having breakfast

hehe i just threw out the 7am to see what you would say. 8am is good. why anyone wants to sleep half the day away is beyond me.

8am wake-up with plenty of activity during the day wil def help getting to sleep at a half decent hour, which brings you around to the easy early am wake-up.

if you can keep it up eventually you'll wake up at the same time everyday alarm clock free.

You'll be really fucked for losing weight if you're not having breakfast. And if you're thinking about having fruit juice then don't have a lot, it's sugary simple carbs hence not great for losing weight, if good for you.

Alrite then, i'll try getting up at 8am (possibly 9am....) every day and see if that helps. Thanks everyone

Post by **shadd_** » Sat Feb 25, 2006 3:47 pm

sure. just try getting to sleep a bit earlier. yeah, you need to party and whatnot thats expected but just try to keep it down to a night or two a week.

Post by **DiscoDave** » Sat Feb 25, 2006 3:49 pm

Well I only go out once a week really on a proper night out, due to money woes

Post by **Scourge** » Sat Feb 25, 2006 4:15 pm

I go to bed around 1 am and get up around 6 am. Been doing it for years and never had a problem with it. However, when I used to sleep like you do I would always be tired.

nothing unusual if you're a teenager

get into a physical activity , work out etc. it builds up energy in the long run, it should help fix your sleeping habbits

maybe just drive your body like its the ultimate vehicke, take pride in it,maintian and respect it to last. and yea take it out for a good torqueing o corce, but theres a times and a places.

I have the same problem DiscoDave. I can easily sleep from 1am to 2pm and there have been times that I was so fucking tired I just couldn't get up for work. I think mine may be tied to depression but from what I hear anti-depressants make you gain weight so I'll just deal with it.

I also have a lot of trouble getting to sleep. I have try very hard to make my brain calm down. Sometimes I'll be thinking about shit so much that I will go from being tired to completely awake. When this happens I usually don't get to bed until 3 or 4.

Because more interesting stuff happens from 9pm to 1am than 7am-11am. And at our age you're usually going out on the weekends making it impossible to get yourself into a pattern.

I'm sometimes like that, I can go to bed pretty knackered but something will just pop into my head and i'll just be thinking about that for a few hours and won't be able to get to sleep =\. It's right though, when i've slept for something like 11 hours I always wake up really tired. What annoys me the most at night is when my mind is just active enough to keep me awake, but not active enough to watch some tv, play a game or anything like that =\

Sounds kind of weak but have you tried some of these sleeping aids? Nytol is one of them over here. I think my Dad tried some, but cant remember how effective it was.
