In general, I sleep around 3-5 hours naturally. My body does not allow me to sleep any more than that. However, for the last few weeks that number has been closer to 10. I figured that has to do with the insane amount of allergies I have, so I wasn't really worried. Day-before yesterday I was up all night, and didn't get to bed till 10 AM yesterday. I woke up at 6. At around 9:30 I took some Adderall so I could study. By 11:15 I was tired again. On Adderall. I was asleep by 12:30. On Adderall. The fact that all this happened on Adderall and about 4 cups of Coke is what made me thing that perhaps it's not the allergies. I woke up at 5 AM today, went back to bed at 9:30, then woke up at 2PM. I've been up an hour, and I'm sleepy as hell again. Should I get myself checked out, or am I just being paranoid?
Also remember that an hour of sleep before midnight has the same effect as two hours of sleep after midnight.
Don't know why, but that's what's said, apparently.
Try and get back to your normal sleeping patterns, and see how things work out.
Oh, and I envy you. I can live on 5 hours of sleep, but barely. I need at least 10 hours (over 12, ideally), and that's impossible during weekdays. You're a lucky bugger and no mistake!
I would attribute this to general mental and physical stress caused by college. Believe me, my girlfriend's sleep cycle is even more fucked up than yours. It's not even a cycle, it's more like a serrated edge.
I would say find a night when you can just settle down, take some sleeping pills at 8 pm, (you can get generic sleeping pills anywhere, but I think you have to be 18 to buy them) and pass out at 9. Sleep until whenever you need to get up, and you should be able to fall into your regular schedule again the next night.
You might try burning energy when your awake. I only sleep for 4 hours unless I mentally fatigue and physically fatigue myself then I can get 8 hours. Also you should always ask doctors before taking any medicine. Not those stupid clinic bastards, but private doctors. Reason being clinic doctors need money so they will most likely figure out how to milk it and fuck you up for their long term goal. Private doctors have all the money they need so they will do whatever it takes to get you the hell out so they can continue masturbating to the pictures of hot chicks they stash in their medicine box.
Happens to me too. Do you constantly have thoughts rushing through your head or what? Some nights I just can't stop thinking long enough to sleep.
This has always been the biggest problem to my sleeping, I can't really have a sleep "pattern", I have to mentally exhaust myself to have a chance of sleep.
Try exercising in the morning, then keep yourself busy enough to avoid sleep (DON'T NAP!) until a reasonable time like 10 or 11pm. Then hit the hay and wake up at 8 or 9 at the latest. This should help condition you for a regular cycle if you keep it up for a couple of days. I suggest starting this weekend since it may be harder on school days.
