Help with Sleep patterns
      #304615 - 11/01/2009 21:26

“Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise” - Ben Franklin.

Well, my problem is getting up in the mornings - I know a lot of people suffer from insomnia (and have my sympathies)but I am the opposite, I could sleep 12 hrs a night or more any night and it gets me down!
I would like to wake and get up early but all of my best efforts don't work, is it that I have no will power? I wake, but drift off again and am always late and annoyed with myself, any advice ladies?

I have resigned myself to being a night owl and can stay up late in the evenings but then have such difficulty getting up in the mornings. I try and make sure that I am organised in the mornings i.e. have clothes all ready etc so I can get going as soon as I can drag myself out of bed.

Sorry I can't help you more.

Margaret

thanks for replying Marg, I know it will sound so lazy to some people but it does get me down! I am going to try really hard next week to get up at 7am!

YYY D,
Have you always been like this? If not do you have any other symptoms.
I've got an under active Thyroid and before it was diagnosed I felt like I was drifting in and out of a coma before I went on medication and now I can't sleep through the night.Cant win.
One suggestion is have you see the alarms that have a light that comes on and seems like the sun coming up?It might be worth a try.

I am definitely a night bird and always have been. Most nights I don't go to bed before 2am and then I sit in bed reading for an hour or so. Couldn't sleep one night last week, so ended up getting up at 3.30am, made a cuppa and decided to make cakes !!!! On other occasions I have got up and washed cushion covers, curtains, bedspreads etc !!!! Please tell me I am not the only one that does crazy things in the middle of the night !!!
