I think i have a sleep disorder..?

I think i have a sleeping disorder, but i dont know what.

It's weird, some days, i will stay up really really late (like to four or five am)

and sleep in until 2 in the afternoon, because it is like I can't sleep at night,

or i will go to bed early (like 8 or 9) and wake up between 11pm- 3 am...and this happens ALL THE TIME.

everynight- but I can fall asleep early when I stay up at a friends house sometimes. I usually get by on about 4of less hours of sleep for school, and the other day, i was up for 24 hours straight, was not tired at all, and I detasseled for 7 1/2 hours. (any one who has detasseled knows that is is tiring lol)

Lol, is this normal?

    It sounds to me like you have a bit of insomnia. It comes in waves, then goes away and you sleep really well. a routine is what you need, go to bed at a set time every single night, lay there with your eyes closed don't open them. Switch all of your electrical appliances off at the wall, because often electrical appliances create white noise which interferes with sleeping patters.

    If you're still having trouble, see a dr who can help you out with other ways of sleeping that don't include sleeping pills and some ways that may.

    good luck

    I have the same issue,,, well sort of. See i go to sleep at 5AM or lately even 6AM because im not tired at all. I just cant sleep because im not tired, and i just lay in bed from like 5am to 6am waiting for the tiredness to kick in. Then eventually i fall asleep. Well yeah and then i wake up at 2 in the afternoon and even once 5! Can u believe it? Well no, i dont think we have sleeping disorders, were just taking advantage of summer break! =] and when i have school, i just go to sleep at 11, and when its a weekend i stay up till like 3am and then on a sunday when the next day its supposed to be school, i cant friggin fall asleep because the night before i went at 3am and now im forcing myself to go at 11pm! So at school i just regulate my sleeping times. And dont worry have fun staying up late! its just were not sleeping right. Anyways email me so we could talk ;)

    Hey I have been diagnosed with insomnia.

    I don't sleep for days on end when i went to my doc's she gave me a load of pills that didn't work. so I went to a herbalist and she told me to use Kalm's Night pills. They are working better then the pills that my doc gave me. You can by Kalm's over the counter and at any supermarket.

    I hope that i have helped you !!

    Good luck sleeping !!
