Hi! I am a 23 yo female that is having a very difficult time w/ my sleeping patterns! You see, I can fall asleep in evening hours (between 8:30 and midnight) and during the day but find it immpossible to fall asleep in "normal" sleeping hours. If I fall asleep at 11ish I am back up at 1ish and stay up till about 5ish sometimes later! But i can fall asleep and stay asleep for HOURS during the day! I also CAN NOT get up in the mornings! I feel like I just went to bed (and sometimes I had). But no matter how much sleep I have during the day I still feel tired! This is effecting my day to day life! I don't know what to do! I think when I sleep that I am sleeping deeply because no outside noise will wake me! Not the alarm clock, the door, the phone! I have even once slept through a firm alarm in my apt. building! I dont remember any dreams I have and dont seem to snore! I wish I could just change my sleeping habits but as hard as I try I cant! I will make myself stay awake during the day and then at 10 or 11 at night I feel like I am about to fall asleep standing up so I lay down and sure enough I am out like a light! But right back up at 12 or 1. I dont have any insurance and cant afford the high cost of Drs. I really would like someone to offer some advise as to if they think this is a problem or just my habits and I have gotten myself in a patteren before I go spend the $ at the Drs! Thanks so very much for any help you can offer!!
