Oversleeping

[StPatty]

Does anyone have sleeping problems... I mean I try to go to bed at 12 and wake up at 8, but I unconsciously turn off my alarm(s). You may say midnight is too late but this summer I went to sleep around 9 and if no one woke me up I would end up waking around 9 too. Everyone wondered how I did it. I know I overdream, probably because of depression, not only that but it's nightmares a lot of the time. But I can't make my life better if I oversleep every day. What can be done...

oversleeping can be bad..once u ar actually up you just want to lie...its not good.

IMO undersleeping is better, you feel really fresh first thing in the morning, but later in the day it catches up on you.

hmm this is a new one, I've seen threads on here about insomnia.

it's to do with the body clock, most often I wake u 5 mins before my alarm...its so strange...like my mind knows how long to sleep for!

erm i guess maybe have multiple alarms, dont force yourself to sleep at a set time.

things like reading a book, having a hot drink, eating cheese (it true!) all help you sleep.

i used to unconsciously turn off my alarms too... the only way i stopped was i put my alarm clock on the other side of the room and it forced me to get up to turn it off.

Its true. I can set two alarms and still not remember them going off. I wish I could wake up in the morning. Some days the only thing that wakes me up is a dream that makes me feel bad, whether it be a nightmare, or something good that's gone in my life, then I wake up... like today
