sleeping too much

My sleep schedule is always messed up, but I try to sleep as little as possible. No alarms. I just force myself out of bed and try to get things done. 9-12 sounds like a bit too much. Could be a sleep problem or depression. Also, being tired after waking up is a sign you could be sleeping too much. Maybe you should try some aerobic exercise if you don't already, try to time when you go to sleep so you'll wake up with sunrise (make sure sunlight can come into your bedroom). If you don't want to do that you could get a sleeptracker, or an EEG, or a time automatic light that gradually gets brighter. You shouldn't feel tired when you wake up. Also, can try taking a 15-30 minute nap 12 hours after the middle of your last sleep session. No more than that though or you'll enter 4th stage sleep and will be even worse off. One trick, although I'm not sure how healthy/unhealthy it is, drink a bunch of water before you go to sleep and you'll have to wake up to go to the bathroom eventually.

i don't, i wake up every day on school break anywhere from like noon to 4 pm. its cause i stay up til like 3-6 am every night though.

i do wish i had a normal sleeping schedule but i think its too ingrained into my body, and i do feel really like shit when i wake up in the middle of the day haha.

yeah sometimes i feel like mine is permanently fucked up after all those years of doing it -.-

im the exact same way man, i feel ya lol

I work off a 25 or 26 hour sleeping schedule, so I do the whole wake up at night time in the middle of the month thing, then fix it by sleeping later and later until I do a flip.

wack off more...get the blood flowing to the brain.

+ Show Spoiler +

or wack off less, it may be making u sleepy

lol a lot of the time when you wake up sleepy its because you oversleep. Try getting 7-8 hours a day and waking up and taking a shower. You'll feel more energized.

it's pretty common amongst poker players. I also have a fucked up sleeping schedule. I go to bed at 4-6 A.M. and wake up at 14-17 at noon and often i feel sleepy after waking up but i know that if i sleep just 7-8hrs i would feel like total shit all day unless i get my body used to such cruelty

Your probably feeling groggy because you are oversleeping. It sounds crazy but if you oversleep you'll feel tired for most of the day. Try setting your alarm for 8-10 hours after you go to bed and see if that helps.

Yeah my sleeping schedule is quite fucked. Usually up til like 7/8 am, sleep, then it will change to where i'm up until 11 am wake up at 11 pm and eventually gets back on a normal schedule only to be fucked again days later.

What do tigers dream of when they take a little tiger snooze?

Should try that trick as well, I often have that problem I get sooo tired the next day, but I'm weak, I don't stay tired, I go sleeping again, and then I get those annoying, up middle of the night rhythm after that.

Annoying =[

do they dream of mauling zebras? Or Halle Berry in a cat-women suit?

Naturally i like to stay up until 3-4amish , and i'll wake up around 12pm. My mother said my father had similar sleep patterns, so it could come from his genes

I had this same prob today, I randomly slept for 12 hours and woke up at 2pm when for the past 5 days I've been sleeping for ~6-9 hours and have been waking up before 11am. Wtf.

its 3.15 and now 20minutes after my above post I realized I had won a ticket to a $20 scoop today that started right when I woke up.. so I joined and had 5 bigblinds. sigh.

Sleep apnia?
