I am a college student and latley have
been compensating dealing with anger or
stress with sleeping. At times when for
example I get into a fight with my
girlfriend or get into confrentations with
my teachers were I feel helpless I go to
sleep as my only way to get away from teh
stress of it all and to get it off my
mind. I would normally think people my
age react by doing drugs or drinking but
this is my way around it. Also when I
wake up my problems are still there but
atleast I feel more sedated and it gave me
a little time to breath. Is this a
unhealthy thing to do?

I don't think excessive sleep is
beneficial...Just because I kind of did
the same thing for a while...I'd sleep
from 10pm until 2-3 pm the next day,
mainly stress from being alone all the
time in a new place while my b/f was at
work, so i'd try to sleep to pass the time
til he came home...But anyway, i'd find
that even when I was awake I was always
tired and depressed anyway, and my sleep
patterns got really messed up. I don't
know if it can cause sickness or anything,
but it just really affected my mood more
than anything. It's probably a different
effect on everyone individually, but that
was my experience with it. If it helps
you to cope though, do it...That's better
than drugs and drinking.
