Becoming nocturnal.

[quacker_boy]

It just sorta happened...

Last night i hit the hay at about 9:30ish and slept like a log till about 12, then couldn't sleep for an hour so fucked off out with my mates...came home at about 4 and still couldn't sleep untill about 6:30.

I've been like this for the past few nights now, i'm considering buying my dad a baseball bat to knock me out at 9 when i want to go to bed...or just sleeping pills.

Any suggestions guys and what the cause might be?

Cheers

Just discipline really. I've had lots of trouble with it over the last few weeks, falling asleep at 7 or 8pm and waking up at 2 or 3am and carrying on. The funny thing is it's taken about 3 weeks to change it. It started out with me going to bed at midnight and getting up at 7am, then 1am and 8am, then 2am and 9am, all the way round the clock and now I'm at about 1am and 8am. The thing is, no matter when I sleep I always sleep for 7 hours, I can't get any more or less.

Night before alst I fell asleep at 9pm and woke at 4am, then I went out last night until 1am. Came home, fell asleep and woke up about 8.30am.

The thing I have to master is disciplining myself to get up at the same time every day, no matter when I went to bed. Because if I don't do that then I don't get to sleep until later that night and get up even later the next day, and it just goes on. In the last few weeks my sleeping pattern has gone an entire 24 hours forward in time.

accept it and use it to your advantage night jobs pay better , kind of why I'm resentful at how morrisons shelf stackers get paid £8/h , while me as an accountant and super agressive tax expert doesn't get anywhere near that.

My usual tactic was to stay up an extra half day.

You do get a nice psychosis by the end of it, especially if you're smoking weed through most of it (an interesting side note is that I'd say I feel worse doing this than staying up after having taking Class A stimulants, suggesting that a lot of the crappy feeling after is just the sleep deprivation.)

whenever i've got any time off work, my sleep pattern gets totally screwed up, funny this came up as its happening right now

night before last went to bed at like 3am, got up at 2.30 in the afternoon, didnt go to bed last night till almost 5am, and woke up about 1330 today, i tend to just bum around when im on holiday dont exert much energy, so naturally am not tired, spend most of the time sat at the pc or watching films and the pattern gets naturally screwed up

way to sort it is to stay up for 24 hours or so, then go to bed normal time, and make sure you set ten alarms for the following morning

If you want to get to sleep at a 'normal' time but aren't at all tired, get yourself a bottle of benylin (cough syrup stuff, marked 'may cause drowsiness') and have a couple of swigs from the bottle. Wait about 20 minutes then go and lie down, you'll fall asleep quite quickly (take more benylin if you don't).

If you overdose on benylin, its nothing to do with me.

[quacker_boy]

I'll leave this page open just so my parents know who point the finger at then

Will any cough syrup do marked 'may cause drowsiness' do or does it HAVE to be benylin?

Anxiety, a condition in which individuals feel increased tension, apprehension, and feelings of helplessness, fear, worry, and uncertainty. This may be due to the effects that other people at work have on us, financial worries, concerns over relationships outside work or numerous other causes.

Stress, or how effectively a person copes with any emotional, physical, social, economic, or other factor that requires a response or change.

Depression, a mood disturbance characterized by feelings of sadness, despair, and discouragement.

Adjustment sleep disorder. This form of sleeplessness is a reaction to change or stress. It may be caused by a traumatic event such as an illness or loss of a loved one, or a minor event such as a change in the weather or an argument with someone.

Overuse of caffeine and alcohol. Caffeine most commonly disrupts sleep. While a drink or two before bed may help a person relax, more than that can lead to fragmented sleep and wakefulness a few hours later.

Insomnia can be a sign of an undiagnosed medical or psychological condition. If insomnia persists for more than a few weeks, it's best to see your doctor for a physical exam.

Was just looking through the old photos on my computer, found ones from july 2005 when me and my mate were both on holiday (at home) and we stayed up all night browsing the net/listening to music and talking on MSN. Anyway found photos of the sunrise at 2.30am and me going out for a cycle at 3am! It was clear as day!

[quacker_boy]

Pfft amateur, me and my mates are roaming the streets till about 6 AM before going home and FINALLY being able to sleep.

Sunrise at 2:30?! F**king hell! It rises here about 6!

For about the past 6 months i'v had trouble sleeping.

I will generally fall asleep at about 1:30am-2am.....put my alarms on for 6:30, sleep in till 7 and get my old man wake me up. Because im tired, im moody as fook, have a bad day at work and come home and go to bed at some ungodly hour.

Thing is, i can't go to sleep without doing somet. I mean while watching TV or listening to my ipod or what ever........it wasn't long back (maybe a couple of month) when i had a week off work that i went to bed at about 11 (trying to get an early night) and i actually laid there ALL night.....not even a hint of tiredness.

Anything out there available over the counter to help me sleep (i just need to get into a pattern for about 2 week and hopefully it will go from there)......................oh, something proper rather than couch syrup
