does anyone know what it means if i can't sleep at night but can during the day? i normally can't go to sleep until 3-5 am - or having 24 hours or more with no sleep, but when i do, i sleep about 8-10 hours. i jusy can't sleep at night. i've tried sleeping pills but just develop a tolerance. i've been looking on wikipedia, but there are so many different answers and they all seem more like guesses. i have depression too but can't tell if it's related. any ideas? i have always been more of a night owl, but was much happier and balanced when i slept from 2 am -10 am. any ideas? i've tried meds, relaxation techniques, turn off computer and tv and keep the lights low 30-an hour before i want to sleep, ah, got new mattresses, new pillows, warm shower before bed. lately i have been playing solitare until i just can't keep my eyes open, but it still lands me in bed around 4 am. the only thing that seems to help is,and well, pot. one reason i know this is i haven't done that in a while and haven't slept worth shit since then. if i smoke in the evening i can get to my ideal times. what is wrong? i've looked up and DSPS (delayed sleep phase syndrome) seems to fit me the best. i haven't slept since well, maybe 5 am yesterday adn slept until 2 pm . there are def nights where i can't sleep at all and go the 24 hour route hoping to just wear myself out. but it doesn't seem to matter what i do. this has been going on for about a year i guess, but sliding later and later...prescriptions make me feel tired but not sleepy. and i feel nervous, it's too easy to forget did i take one or two, they just make me nervous. i'm 32 so i don't feel it's a melatonin issue. any opinions? it makes it almost impossible to look for a job and i just feel off. i know my circadian rhythm is off, but what do i do? i don't mind being a night owl, but this is ridiculous. i'm going for a 24 hour day today, but i know i will be half delirious by the end of the day... help? thanks to all!! |
