Sleeping.

[Andys]

Hi, recently I've been sleeping on average around 12 hours a day during the holidays - 1 day I even slept for 15 hours! I don't really feel tired when I go to bed but I don't wake up till early afternoon. Also there have been a few days where I have tried to get to sleep but couldn't and ended up laying awake all night. I haven't really been using much energy recently so that could be why, but I'm not really sure.

Any suggestion why this could be happening?

Your diet and exercise could be a major factor.

I usually sleep till 12-1 pm, but then I don't to sleep till 2-3 am But, I only sleep properly for 7-8 hours, because I get really hot. As has been said, diet could be a factor or maybe the heat could be causing you to sleep longer.

Don't they say "the more you sleep, the more you will sleep", or something like that.

I sometimes sleep for ages, sometimes I don't, but I'm not really bothered because I don't have to go to school or anything. You said you don't feel tired, so try setting an alarm to get up earlier.

"the more you sleep, the more you will sleep"

What the hell? Are you mentally ******ed?

Anyway back to the topic, the main reason could be, as you suggested, not using all of your energy.

I suggest go running or do something active !

No, I'm not. I heard it on GMTV or the news ages ago.

Erm... I have very weird sleeping patterns... let me give you an example from recently:

Before i went on holiday:
Sleep: 6-8am
Awaken: 12-1pm

On Holiday:
Sleep: 12-1am
Awaken: 8-9am

After Holiday:
Sleep: 10-11pm
Awaken: 1-2pm

Now:
Sleep: 3-4am
Awaken: 9-10am

Right... basically my sleeping pattern changes to some really weird times and i've figured out it's to do with my mental state...

If i'm stressed out: i sleep later and wake up later.
If i'm with people and happy: I sleep later and wake up earlier
If i'm with people and not so happy: I hardly sleep atall - maybe 2hours a night
If i'm happy: I usually sleep around 2-3am and wake up late morning

Now i've been all of these states for over 2weeks... and for each one... I don't feel any tiered the the last... even when I'm on my 14th day of sleeping 1-2hours a night I still feel really awake.

Have you had any change in mental-stability recently?

If you try setting an alarm for a certain time every day, and going to bed at a certain time every night. Your body will get used to the routine and start doing it automatically

That's normal summer holidays behaviour
