My sleeping schedule

[Greg22]

God damn, it's making me asfghds.
I changed my sleeping habits for my girlfriend, who stays up pretty much all night and does one of two things: Doesn't sleep at all or goes to sleep at 9 ~ 10 AM. Before June 25th, I was the kind of guy who had a normal sleeping schedule. I'd wake up around 9 or 10 AM on days that I didn't have work, after going to bed around 2 AM. I got enough sleep. I work Monday/Wed/Fri, so on those days I'd wake up at 6 AM, come home at 6 PM, and maybe take a short nap.

But f'uck, that's all gone to shit. I no longer have a sleeping schedule. Right now I'm at work (And I'm working hard, srsly gaiz!) and I've had an hour and a half of sleep. When I get home, I'll sleep until 9 PM and stay up until 7 AM, go to sleep until 12 PM. Stay up until 6 PM and nap until 9 PM. Stay up until 3 AM~4 AM and wake up at 6:30 AM. Come home at 6 PM, sleep until midnight, stay up until 5 PM, sleep until 10 PM. F'uck, it's all over the place.

I loved staying up with my girlfriend, because since my parents were always asleep during the times I was most awake, I'd be able to talk to her and relax in the house while my parents and sister are upstairs sleeping. Which is really great, because my family loves to eavesdrop. Now recently, she (or moreso her parents) has decided to change her sleeping habit. Now she goes to sleep around 12 AM~1 AM and wakes up around 9 AM. Her sleeping was getting ridiculous, so I was really glad this was happening. It's good for her, and it'd also mean I can revert back to my normal sleeping patterns. but o wait, wuts dis? i cant, u say? That's right, I LIKE this. I've come to really enjoy having 7 ~ 8 hours of not having ANYONE bug the shit out of me, eavesdrop on me, ask for my help, etc. The fact that I have work every other day is what throws me off a f'uckton. And now my girlfriend says she's getting all lonely because I apparently sleep so much when I seriously only get like.. a goddamn hour of sleep. I'm always f'ucking tired at work, but that doesn't affect me enough to make me want to change my sleeping; I don't need a lot of energy to do my job. I'm gonna have to change this eventually with school starting, but f'uck, I'm sitting here reaaaaalllllyyyyyy tired and I don't know why I continue to do this to myself.

What? tl;dr, you say? F'uck you.
Short summary:
Hay gaiz, my girlfriend has introduced me to the world of no sleep. My sleep is all over the place, and though I find myself ridiculously tired and my girlfriend has reverted back to sleeping normally, I don't want to do the same. I enjoy staying up while everyone else is sleeping. I'm always f'ucking tired and for some reason that doesn't make me want to change it. Iono.

So when I first saw this thread, my first thought was "Well stop talking to Sakura until the wee hours of the morning loserface."

And then I read your summary :f3:

Unusual sleep patterns, too much sleep, too little sleep, stress...all these things can make you feel sick and sleepy even when you're not. They'll make you restless when you try to sleep because your body is fighting the idea that it's tired. Best thing to do is to force yourself back into normal schedule. It's ok to stay up a little later as long as you keep getting back into the normal times. I go to bed most nights at 11, wake up at 7, and I'm ready to go (unless the cat decides to meow and scratch at the door at 4 in the fucking morning and I cant get back to sleep). If you have to, take naps to help reset your schedule. Try to come up with the best time to go to sleep in relations to when you want to wake up. Don't sleep more than 10 hours, and try to sleep atleast 6. Hope this helps.

I agree with you. My sleep schedule sucks. I am noticing more and more the less the sleep I get, the sicker I am when I wake up. I have headaches, stuffy nose, sick to my stomach, just feel like plain shit. I also have a weird work schedule since I work for a hospital "on call" for any shift. Sometimes I just can't find the right amount of hours to sleep because no matter how many I sleep, I still feel like complete shit when I wake up. ( I also have a cat problem with them up my ass, both of them, sleeping on me, next to me, meowing, being annoying)

TS~ Maybe you could just adjust your schedule a bit. Sure it's gonna be hard at first, but if you really want to talk to your girlfriend more a little sleep editing couldn't hurt, right? Plus it might help you not drag and take the weird naps that you do.

Lmao Greg, I've only just started to fix my sleeping schedule since it was all over the place. I've had to start getting back into a British sleeping pattern since my body clock was running on EST. D: But it was making me ill and tired all the time, for your own health and sanity try to get more sleep. It might take a while, it's taken me a couple of weeks to get 'normal' again. But you can do it, Kelly will understand. :f3:

oiiiiii that sucks mine is ruined too!!! Last time I tried to fix my sleeping schedule I went to bed really early (at like 8pm) but ended up waking up at 3am which just ruined me even more. :f4:

F'uck, and I thought I was hectic. Wake up at 10, sleep at 7 AM, repeat.

[ShadowMarck]

I have a messed up sleeping schedule too. I wake up at like 1 A.M., stay up all night, go to sleep at around 11, and it repeats. I miss out on everything that happens during the day, and I usually have to struggle to stay up all day one day, go to sleep at around 8 P.M, and finally wake up at a reasonable hour. I don't like having no one around me, in fact, I feel kind of lonely. Do whatever you wanna do, It's your life. :f2:

No sleep is fun, Greg. Just drink lots of coffee.

Works for most of us.

[Greg22]

ya mang, after having a relaxing four days of regular (if not excess) sleep over my vacation, I've already screwed it up by sleeping at 11 PM and waking up for no real reason at 4 AM. Been awake since then. :(

And I've got that whole "If I drink this cup of coffee, it should at least keep me awake for another hour!" mindset, but I'm always too damn lazy to MAKE the coffee.

Get that Doubleshot shit from Starbucks that's like a coffee energy drink. Comes in a big can.

It works. I've tried it.

EDIT: That or you could be like me and listen to music as you sleep. I tried sleeping for two damn hours, lying in bed unable to sleep. I was bored so I took my iPod and listened to some shit and I fell asleep in like 5 minutes.
