Is it what I am eating? My sleep patterns?
A few weeks ago I couldn't even get to sleep, now all I want
to do is sleep. Sometimes I am overly hyper active and other
times I am just really really tired and silent.
I think It could be my diet, I don't eat much but sometimes I'll just pig out in a huge splurge. I rarely feel the feeling of HUNGER, I only eat because I think I SHOULD or that I am bored, and sometimes a good bowl of cereal is a great way to pass the time.
Like right now I could sleep for about 3-6 hours, but it's like 6 pm. I woke up at 1pm today. Went to bed at 5am.
But really I am getting the right amount of sleep right?That
is 8 hours of sleep. I heard that if you sleep more then 8 hours you actually become more tired throughout the day.
Anyway I don't know what is wrong with me, I think it could just be a side effect of complete laziness, I don't even feel like doing THINGS. I just want to lie down , but like ALL THE TIME.
Think it could be a blood sugar level thingy? Like I said I eat like a fuck, seriously I could go 2 days with only like a granola bar, then like go the exact opposite direction and
start eating mad. I think it's the way I eat but I am not sure. I thought I'd leave a post here because I have the feeling a lot of you guys and gals have the same problems, I
think it is inherent to the whole COMPUTER MESSAGE BOARD CULTURE thing ... Less sleep more computer.
Tanks!!!!!!!

i disagree. in fact if you use it well it can be extremely healthy. it's inactive television watching that saps life. the interaction of the internet requires at least a low level of alertness.

i sleep for about 12-14 hours a day, i smoke & drink way too much and rarely get to bed before 5am and rarely wake up before 3pm. (lastest i've woke up is 7pm) i constantantly feel drained of energy and lethargic and angry and my diet is a fucking joke. some day i will live of ciggarettes and Tea, and some days i will indulge on junk foood and peanuts and pork scratchings. i drink every day. i think i have a similar problem. lets start a club.

I had the same stuff, and aside from doing more exercise, and eating vitamins; paradox: you need to get less sleep. don't give in to the tiredness in the middle of the day.. reduce your "downtime" to six hours per night, and go to bed at set times... after about a month, you should be able to go back to normal... light-treatment also helps...

"lets start a club." I just quit smoking, though I find smoking keeps me up all night, but daym smoking feels good on a hot summer night when yuor making music and drinking A beer. Not getting drunk, just having a beer or 2 :)
I think I might goto the doctor and get checked out. I'll keep you guys posted.
"perhaps it's depression?" Maybe ... I'd like to say I don't get depressed but I think that would be lieing. At this very moment I am not depressed. I feel like ... blah. Maybe thats depression? I feel lazy.
"how much do you weigh? are you technically pretty "
I am 6 3'' 175 punds. I keep going up and down in weight. About a month ago I was 160. I havn't been over eating , I thnk I just have been doing less. I always try to jog now and then but lately I havn't had time (of that excuse hehehe) but I have been singing in a new band lately and it has been really draining a lot of my energy. It's kind of like Alexis on fire type stuff, so it's lots of running around and screaming.
corrupted-girl: Maca? Is that over the counter? I just went to Shoppers drugmarts website and they don't have it listed there. You are Canadian , where do you get it?

no its extremely subtle. as generally any plant product is i guess.
up to the point where i am not entirely sure it had any real effects.
it was 10 dollars for 90 capsules, and i was taking 3 a day, i only have a few lef,t i dont know if ill buy more.
that is the 5htp i mean. people also take it for other things.
with st johns wart, same sort of thing. i dont know its supposed to be good as an anti-depressant. someitmes i get terrible dreams with it in combination with melatonin, but sometimes melatonin does that on its own.
i guess im not very helpfull

i know that feeling... i have more or less the same "syndroms" in holidays : )
maybe it's screens and late sleeping pattern and lack of exercice. i don't think it has got anything to do with depression, at least not for me, i'm not depressed at all.

Don't wanna rub it in your faces, but my sleeping patterns are pretty good. On average get to sleep about 12am and wake up about 9.30am. Although my diet is a joke, chips and Dr Pepper being around 70% of my total comsumption.

'its ok, you ain't alone. I'm like that, the same as you exactly. I never fall asleep until 2, 3 4 am. Heck when I get home around 10 or eleven in the night, I feel a little sleepy but when I enter my house, BAM! I can't feel the need to go to bed.
But sometimes it's the opposite BAM! I have to go sleep somewhere (like, this fucking moment now I was actually falling asleep with my head doing those movements reading this thread). It's been like that for the past 3 years, at least. I was told my biological clock is set for a 4-10am sleep, so I'm fucked every time I wake up at 5h30am (which is, every day of the week).
I'll often do "40hours", which is a term I say for when I stay awake 2 days straight, then sleep 8 hours. But often it ain't even 8 hours, say I go to bed at 10pm, well at 2 or 3 am I'll have my big eyes wide-open not able to fall asleep.
I guess it's also that Im not able to "zentrify" inside myself when I go to bed. Too much thinking, analysing, philosophying, overstressing, distress, fearing, etc...

Maybe it's part of growing up? Have you found hairs on your twotter? Do you now feel girls could be something "more" than friends? Do you feel awkward when your parents/guardian's see you in the bath? Have you thought about getting a Livejournal to keep THE WORLD up to date with your sleeping patterns? Why not keep a tally of your stool consistency whilst you're at it?

i go to bed at 11pm everyday before a work day, and i get up at 7am, its the only way i can get to work on time. at first it was those hours were a real bitch (after months of unemployment when i would go to bed/get up whenever i felt like it) but i found a secret - i always try to wake up about 10 to 20 minutes before i have to get up. i go to the bathroom, get clothes ready to put on, then go back to bed for 10-20 minutes of rest. then when i have to get up i dont feel so tired, my body has had time to adjust. i dunno if it will work for you, but you could try it.

for most people the bit of getting up out of bed in the first place is the hardest.
it would be "waking suicide" to then go and have a lie down again, in my case at least.

i find it easy to get up when i know i'll be going to be lying down again very soon. but by the time i do, im too awake to actually go back to sleep. maybe you should try it a couple of times, once you get into the habit it wont be so bad.
