Just the opposite. I've been wandering around the house while everyone else sleeps since I was a child. I used to just go downstairs and sit in a chair and wait for morning. Now I write and make calls, pray and masturbate, drink and take pills - anything to get to morning.

Hmm...i'm the opposite too i'm afraid, lack of sleep is my problem. Funny enough (not really funny actually) but I was looking on a sleep website today doing some work (supposed to be lol!) and there was a test so I did it for a laugh...it came out that i had FOUR different sleep disorders :lol: Didn't know so many existed! Amazing the amount of things u can get diagnosed with if u let them!

As for sleeping lots, i dunno, i know it can be a sign of depression but then if its been such a big problem for such a long time perhaps insist on seeing someone else to get another opinion.

Hey twilight...what site did you go on about the sleep tests?? That would be cool to take.........and I also wanted to say that for the first time in my life the past couple of weeks i haven't been able to sleep when I want to and then when morning hits I sleep all day......I've always been a night person, but I could usually go to sleep when I wanted to.....this whole not being able to sleep thing is driving me absolutly crazy...i even went to the doctor yesterday and got some sleeping pills......but it's really taken a toll on my life..there are weeks where I havent even seen daylight....not cool

I guess i am lucky you guys...cause im already going crazy just not sleeping the past month.....and im already starting to get back on track with sleeping 12 hours again...i guess we should be careful what we wish for!!! For all of you that cant sleep though...there are several remedies that are supposed to help...and i would say sleeping pills, but that might not be such a good idea for most of us!.....Thanx for all the responses!! :wub:

Man, I'm soooo glad you posted this (except of course, not the aftermath...) I've been a terrible sleeper for ever! My mother says when I was a baby i used to wake in the middle night becuase I was bored, so she started just leaving toys in my coot, and I'd play than go back to sleep. I find I can go for days on very sleep but then days of all sleep. As for waking up still feeling tired- I had this for a long time and it turned out to be anaemia (I had been veggie for 8 years)- could this be a potential for you? I remember not being able to sleep all through secondary school and used to really worry about it, which of course makes it worse! Worrying about not getting enough sleep stops you from going to sleep! I also find that if I go bed at a 'reasonable' time (ie, before midnight) I find it impossible to get up for work the next day. If, on the other hand, I find it hard to sleep and drop off about 4-5 am, I can make it into work by 8am. It's all totally weird. A Dr told me I had very poor sleep hygeine. I think I'm just programmed differently to sleep weird. Do you have strange dreams, panic attacks in your sleep, anything like that? Tell me to F off if I'm being too nosy.

No!! I dont think you are being to nosy at all....thats what this site is for!!lol :P .......yes I've always had very vivid dreams...but its always been a welcome escape.....when I was very young i used to have horrible, terrible, awful VERY real nightmares, so as a result I was always very scared to go to sleep and I would start to get panic attacks when it even got dark out..I used to try and sleep and I'd get up every minute or so to compulsivly check the hallway, and closet and under the bed....it drove me nuts cause it would be like 4 am and id finally drift off to sleep only because sheer exhaustion!!!! Now..I just stay up alllllllll night and sleep during the better half of theday..like I said up above, I was just given sleeping pills, and I've taken them everynight the way I was supposed to, but then I didn't take then tonite...and now its 3:30am and I'm still wide awake...I think I'm like you eirian I think I dont have a normal sleep schedule to even "get back on!!!" ...Sometimes its a good thing for me though....... :blush: ............Audrey..........

Have always thought insomia is BPDers' best/worst mate! Yeah, sleep has always been a problem. For me, its always insufficient deep uninterrupted sleep. I've given up looking for it! Dreams are a norm, frightening ones mostlt DOH! <_<

Anyway, am managing it....what gives? :wacko:
