I physically can't wake up!

At first, I thought you may have some sort of Clinomania (an over-whelming desire to stay in bed), but it seems that you actually WANT to get up at the right time, but fall into a very deep sleep. Out of interest, do you find yourself falling asleep during the day? If so, you may have slight Kleine-Levin Syndrome, although that isn't super likely. The best bet is that you have hypersomnia. A definition from 'http://www.psychnet-uk.com': "Hypersomnia is excessive sleepiness. It is an excessively deep or prolonged major sleep period. It may be associated with difficulty in awakening. It is believed to be caused by the central nervous system and can be associated with a normal or prolonged major sleep episode. "Characteristics: -Long sleep periods. -Excessive sleepiness or excessively deep sleep. -The onset is insidious (gradually, so you are not aware of it at first). -Typically appears before age 25. -Has been present for at least 6 months."Does this sound like something you might have? If so, follow the website link above to find out more. If not...please reply to my response so I can help a little more! It's always frustrating when doctors dismiss something you know isn't normal as trivial. When you start sleeping through fire alarms, that is a danger to your health, and should be researched. I hope I helped in some way!=^_^=

HI, i think Learn2earn's point of view is right.Desire is the start for most of the things we accomplish,try your best to get up earlier.even you don't do anythingt.if you have the habit to get up in the morning,at last you will be used to do so.no matter what happens,keep on beginning.each time you fail,start is again.until you finish what you start out to do.

I also thought from the title that you were just too lazy to wake up in the morning but as you describe your situation I think there is really something wrong with you medically. Well I think there is someone from above that explains quite well what you are undergoing and he might be right. This is the first time i heard about your situation as many of the cases I hear is difficulty of sleeping but your is the complete opposite of them.

I think we have the same problem my friend. I also experienced it that's why I usually came to the office late i the morning because I cant easily get out of bed and until now I still have a problem like that. I am just thankful that my office is just a minute away from my house. I don't know what should I do but I guess consulting a professional is a big help.

I used to have the similar situation with you about 3 years ago. In my eyes, you can wake up on time through some measures and efforts. It is obvious that your experience is not a normal situation, so, even if it is a fact that there are some people who are just not morning people, I think it is more like a problem of biological clock. If you want to to get up on time, the first thing you should do is to change a normal biological clock. According to what I know, doing some exercises per day is a necessity to build your body and keep healthy. Wish you success. I hope my tips will be helpful to you.

sorry to hear that..Have you tried using this running alarm clock? it might help you if you need dto be out of town and no one's there to wake you up. The alarm clock runs around the room and wilol only stop once you press stop or snooze. hope this helps :)

I am sorry you are having this problem. It has to be hard when you work and you have to get up to be at work on time. If I were you I would go to the doctor and tell them exactly what you have told us here. That it's not that you don't want to get out of the bed...it is that you physically can't get yourself up and out of the bed. My mom's ex-boyfriend had an alarm clock called a screaming meanie..maybe you need one of those. It is extremely loud when it goes off...it made my ears hurt but he was a truck driver and he used it in the truck to make him wake up on time when he had to deliver something at a certain time. I hope this problem gets better for you and that you stop having such a hard time getting up.

Well... I am not sure this will help you with anything but... you are not alone :) And I know many people with the same characteristic ( why call it a problem?) :) Anyway, fighting with it will fight you back. I accepted it and gave it a go. And I am just happy about it!

hi~ my friend , i think the problem you've just met would come to most of us , i got this problem before , especially in the winter time , you know that i weather is getting colder and colder , and it's indeed feels good to stay in the bed , hahaha , but as you said , we got work or study to do .so we got to overcoming this problem . i think you could make youself busy ,and then go to bed earlier , it comes to the occasion that we could not have a qualify sleep time even we go to bed very early , and if we are very tired ,and we can easily go to sleep very fast ~! good luck to you , and happy mylotting !

I can't help you, but I have a similar problem. I have no scheduled sleeping arrangement since I quit my job, so I sleep randomly throughout the day. When I finally do fall asleep though, nothing seems to wake me up except for physical contact. It's like my senses completely shut off. Sounds have no effect, neither does smell. I suppose that's what if means to be a deep sleeper, and you may be the same way.

Try sleeping in 90min increments instead of 8 hrs of sleep do 7.5 or instead of 7 hrs try 6 make sure you allow a 20min grace period or however long it takes you to go to sleep do meditation or yoga and focus on waking up and after a month you will have created a good habit and wont be so tired.
