Q: Unable to wake up in morning
asked by: Imaginos7 on May 12th, 2009

I'm 27 and since my teenage years I've found it almost impossible to get up in the morning and oversleep constantly.
Its beginning to really mess up my life as I often oversleep when I have important things to do, such as I've slept through job interviews and once missed my flight when I was going on holiday.
When I wake up in the morning I feel totally exhausted and it takes a tremendous effort to get out of bed and do anything. Even when I do get up I end up falling to sleep in the bath or in a chair when I have got dressed.
I have 4 different alarm clocks but it makes no difference as I either sleep through them completely or turn them off and fall back to sleep.
I can honestly say I find it easier to just stay up all night if I have something to do in the morning than go to sleep when it is a huge task to get up for it, and have actually started doing that occasionally in the last year so I can't oversleep.
Its common for me to go to bed at 12 or 1am, intend to get up about 9am, then just oversleep through til about 2pm or 3pm in the afternoon.
I hate being like this and its pretty much wrecking my life, as I basically can't hold down a job amongst other things.
Has anyone else had a similar problem and got any suggestions for dealing with it.
I stress this has nothing to do with me being depressed.

It does seem as if you have some type of sleep disorder. I think you should talk to your doctor about having a sleep study done to figure out why you are unable to have a restful sleep.
