Sleeping at Wrong Hours!

Eye mask and ear plugs to block out all light and all sound. Like a miracle if you have Fibromyalgia. Annie

i had the same problem when i wasnt working. i know waking up late in the afternoon sucks but i just went to sleep that little bit later that morning and woke up later in the day or early evening untill the normal pattern was there i hope this helps. or you could try a sport or just something you dont do and would wear you out a bit.

I wish I could find an answer to that question.My problem is I fall asleep but can only sleep an hour or two at a time.My counselor says I am controlling my sleep so I don't dream.I do have awful nightmares,or have had at times.However I don't know how one can force themselves to wake up but that is what she says I am doing.I sleep an hour wake up for a couple hours then sleep for two,and I am up for three.If I have an appointment or something it is awe full because I can't wait to get home and get back to sleep because I am always tired.

The world is a less irritating place when everyone else is in bed. So our bodies are choosing that. Instead, get the good sleep you need, and you'll want to be awake with the rest of the world. annie

LadyT1208 OMG so I,M not the only one.I,ve been going through this since like 1997.Of course mine is due to meds and pain.So because of it .I am always looking for remedies myself.Make sure your room is a relaxing place to be in.No mess.Keep all destracting things out.Let that be your sanctuary.Colors you like scents you like.Lavender,Vanilla whatever you like.Read a bit.It may tire your eyes and help.Focus on your breathing.Be very aware of each breathe,just concentrate on that.And visualize one thing you find relaxing.For me it has always been.Thinking of when I was in a beach in Puerto Rico just floating in the water face up,looking at the sky.There were only four people in the beach.It helps if its something you've done.You don't want it to be such a stretch. Also it helps to be as active as you can.Not to just be awake.And really take a look at what you are eating.Sometimes we only pay attention to caffeine.But there is also sugar,salt acidic foods,potential unknown allergies.Your overall health is a big factor.Hormones and cortisol levels.If you really can't attribute your sleeping patterns to anything in particular.I would see if you can get a sleep study done.It isn't good for your health.It affects your eating habits,I'm sure your snacking more and will gain weight due to poor sleeping.It also can lead to depression left untreated. Hope this helps,Wishing you Sweet Dreams,Roni707

Haha very good question. Since losing my job a few months back, I"ve become a complete night owl, staying up until the wee hours of morning! I've been known to stay up until 3, 4, or 5 in the morning and sleep past 1 or 2 in the afternoon while my husband is at work. It's annoying to say the least. I hate waking up feeling like all I've done is waste the day!

My sleep time has been changed since I graduated high school back in 2004. Now I sleep during the day and wake up after 3pm. It really sucks. I've tried to change, but I end up tossing and turning at night. At the same time I get a lot done at night, writing wise. A lot of my projects I've worked on has been because of my weird hours.
