I don't know when it started. but I've
never been a day person. I love the night.
But I used to be a whole lot better about
going to bed...like around 11PM. but now
since college extremities of homework and
stress...I get scared of going to sleep
because I feel like I have so much to do.
The irony is...because of sleepiness..I
don't get much done. But i am so
unconsciously determined to keep myself
up! it's frightening! its daylight at
times when I fall asleep...I have to FORCE
myself to fall asleep!
I know I have had issues with my mother
(not seen her in 3 years) and all her
"scary moments" were at like 3 in the
morning.
and then I fell off the top bunk sleep
walking and had to go to the hospital my
first year in college...and slept walk a
couple times before when I was on some
medication (luckily off of it). So now I
feel I have no control over my body when I
sleep.
the singulary scary part is I just don't
like waking up in the morning. the
feeling of going..."it's another day..."
just makes me go "ugh..."
so what is this? Post traumatic stress? or
am I just wanting to push myself to the
limits? or is this some kind of act of
rebellion?
Oh..I'm also ADD. let's not forget that
part!

Some people are just night owls. But if
you nap in the day, you'll never be able
to get back on schedule.
Have you tried Melatonin? Exercise?
Relaxation?
Stress does play a huge role, that's for
sure.

Same thing happens to me! I would have to
tell people that i'm a sleep-phobic; that
I have a fear of sleeping, because I'm
just always constantly doing whatever I
can to not sleep when night time comes.
I used to think I was manic depressive or
bipolar for acting this way, but now I
just realize it's just the way I am. I
think I naturally need more excitement and
activity and drama during the day to
exhaust me... and if i don't get it, i
just won't sleep until i find it... which
i never do; so i'm exhuasted all day long.
I am sick of being a night owl. It's hard
being nocturnal all the time... and its'
gotten to the point that i would "nap"
while working...

I can dig your post laboh, I just can not
get into sleeping some nights, like
tonight!
Its 5:10 am and i just do not feel in the
mood to go to bed, sure at 6 or 7 ill pass
out and wake up around 2 pm but i do this
a lot. And i should take medication for
this but since I get tutored and dont go
to school and, ive been a little
anti-social from my panic attacks, i dont
care if i sleep all the time

You will feel better though when you get
on a better sleeping schedule
