sleep

[marinebabe02]

I can never sleep at night,i can only sleep early in the morning or during the day, whats wrong with me?

[kevo2k7]

i have same problems and the only way i sort it out is by stayin awake for the full 24hours then ya should be knackered quite early the next night,so go asleep an ya should wake up early the next morning after that and the pattern should be ok then until you next mess it up and have 2 go through the whole 24hr procedure again lol works for me tho so give it a try.

[kevo2k7]

oh yeah and drink plenty of coffee the day after 2 keep ya awake until the night if ya findin it hard 2 keep ya eyes open.

I know someone who has the same problem. He can't get to sleep till around 7am or even after.

why should this be a problem? maybe its natural for you. just because the rest of society like to operate at ridiculous early hours, doesnt mean tthat your body will just accept it! Who said we needed to be awake at day time? Why shouldnt we be more active at night time?

i know the feeling - i cant sleep at night, im too active, its natural for me! thats why i prefer night shifts. when i wake up early in the morning, i get sleepy by 1500, have a snooze till about 2000, and stay up all night if im not working. If im not working but still end up getting early for some reason, ill be awake all day but tierd, lathargic, sleepy and not really all there, when darkness comes, i feel wide awake!

Wierd huh? but remember - its your life. Why should you be made to feel you have a problem just because society says so?

I had alot of trouble sleeping, still have issues, and dont have a full nights sleep,was on nights but came off them,as tiara said was feeling really bad,sick,headaches crabbit,i take valerian sometimes iot helps,they say take 3 but i have taken 5 at a time,as they are herbal,tried bananas and lettuce before bed, not together lol, will just have to accept that i will always have issues, my head still thinks that it is on nights, and when i feel really sleepy it fights to wake up again,and also didnt help that have a crappy neighbour who makes loads of noise and has two yappy little beasts, so much better on days!!!!

When you feel like you are ready for a sleep during the day do you let yourself sleep? If so you are less likely to sleep at night.

Try keeping yourself awake when you feel sleepy,until about 10pm, then go to bed. Get up at 7am whether you are ready to or not. A few days of this should recondition you to sleeping at usual times. And no afternoon naps!

I have a lot of trouble sleeping. I don`t nap in the day time however tired I am. I dont work or have young children, so the fact that I`m not sleeping doesnt affect that. However, it does affect my life. I`ve no energy for anything.

Are you an owl by any chance?

[puddicat]

chazza tried that doesnt work for me, i can go to bed say at eleven at night most nights and then get up at 6.30am everyday,and still wake 2 or 3 times in the night!!!
