Im seriously contemplating taking some prescription sleep meds because my schedule is crazy. First, I thought it was due to cutting off caffeine and soda, but I dont think thats it because thats the reason I thought my sleeping patterns were bizarre.
For instance, the last few weeks I have been falling asleep on the couch around 10:30-11:30pm for between 30 to 90 minutes. I wake up, then Im feel like Ive had a full nights sleep and that lasts until about 4am then I crash and then struggle to fall asleep waking up every few minutes.
What I tried to do was go to bed around 11pm/12am, but then I just wake up at 2am and cant fall back asleep. Worst part is I finally am able to get to sleep around 4 to 5am, then its a struggle to get up in the morning... honestly, I do everything to avoid it and will hit the snooze button for an hour, and have to setup a backup alarm because of it.
My gf bitches at me and says I'm lazy, but its not that I don't want to get up in the morning, I physically just can't. This morning for instance, I tried to get up a little earlier to go to the gym and ended up hitting the snooze for an hour, then my backup alarm went off for 30 minutes later until I finally managed to get up because someone was calling me.
Honestly, it sucks and I'm tired all day because of it. Waking up has never been an easy thing for me since high school. I would always be running late and trying to squeeze in an extra few minutes of sleep. Argh, dont know what to do....
