Hey for a long time now I've rarely had a decent sleeping pattern... and its now starting to get in the way cause of jobs and stuff

Everyone I know usually gets tired after being awake for 14 hours, I don't get tired until I have been awake for 29 hours, what the hells that about?

I try to go to sleep at 16 hours, no good, I'm so awake I could keep working and studying no problem, but when I go to work the next morning it starts to affect me halfway through the day (being up for over 24 hours)

So my days are around 40 hours long!

Can anyone help me sleep? Haha

Ps: the sleep thing doesn't affect me fatigue wise, I feel fine as if I was sleeping normal, I'm not under stress but I do study.

Pps: I've also been to the docter once about it, he says my body PROBABLY produces far more energy than a normal person, but he couldn't test for sure unless I spend a week in a sleep clinic!

Ppps: 4 months ago I tested myself to see how long it would take until my eyes closed and I fell asleep (like at the wheel of a car) I managed 77 hours! Best sleep I ever had (14 hours) after that haha

Anyway, please help! :)

Hi yumiasa... sleep is very important,our bodies need to rest and relax... regenerate if you like in preparation for what the next day holds, it may not be a problem to you now,regarding energy, stress levels etc... but eventually it could cause medical problems, leading to depression, stress, if you are a diabetic your body needs sleep to absorbe insulin, concentration could become impaired without you even realizing... there are several things that could happen long term, if it.s not sorted out.

What you need to do is re-train yourself into some sort of sleep pattern, OK lots of times you will just lie there but eventually your body will re-learn the pattern of sleeping,I'm sure you will feel much better for it.

Each night decide what time is going to be your bedtime and gradually wined yourself down, whether it be a cup of ovaltine or a glass of wine, soak in the bath,put on your jammies or what ever,listen to something calming that requires no input from yourself, when you hopefully feel yourself drifting off, fall into bed zzzzzzzzzz

That's how it's suppose to work... if not don't lie there thinking get up have a walk around maybe read a book ( not a horror ) and try again, and again etc...

Patience will be required here, but stick with it.
