Hypersomnia Wailing Pole

*Builds a pole*

Man, I definitely won't fall asleep on top of this here pole.

*Climbs the pole*

*Falls asleep*

Umpty-sumthin hours later:

Wh... Dammit. WHAT DAY IS IT?!

*wails* Why did I make this pole so COOOOMFORTABLE!!?!?

*falls back asleep*

 

this is only semi related but i once fell asleep at 2 pm and woke up at 11 pm and came out into the living room and my family tricked me into thinking three days had passed. i believed them, if not a little shocked at the same time, because i do sleep a lot in a row. i was more excited for not having to wait on a steven universe episode for three more days.

 

I would just like to state how much I appreciate the title of this thread.

 

It is 5 PM, and I am AWAKE.

*Triumphant noises!*

... I have work at 1 PM tomorrow.

*Sad trombone sounds*

 

Woke up around 7 in the morning!

... took a nap from 10 to 2. Took another nap from 4-6. Probably going to go to bed at 9. Even though my schedule's better I'm still tired all the time and have to supplement with naps. I'm still sleeping all the time, it's just more spread out.

 

I keep waking up from naps and not knowing what year it is.

 

There have definitely been so many occasions this school year when I've woken up from a nap panicking because it was light outside and i though I had overslept through to the next day. I have a nice consistent wake up time of 8 am, and i tend to go to sleep between sometime between 9 and 11, but there's usually a 3-4 hour nap somewhere in the day and I'm still a zombie.

 

Yeeep it's exactly 9:30 and I'm too tired to go on. I need to heat something to eat because I skipped two meals in favor of naps but after that it's back to back to bed. FML. I'd give both kidneys and a lung to get decent sleep and actually feel rested. One night and one day. That's all I want. T_T

 

Oh to feel rested *wistful sigh*. I've forgotten what it's like to not crawl through life constantly dropping off.

I'm just at a loss for what to do. Sleeping /more/ can't be the answer... And I have no idea how to sleep "better"

 

Just slept through the last meeting of my favorite class. daaaaargh

 

So, I got up this, morning, then went back to bed. Am now considering going back to bed again and givging today up as a bad job.

 

Slept through yesterday. Got woke up for dinner, stayed awake for 3 hours, went back to bed. Hate it when I do that >:/

 

i was going to learn some dinner things from my mom this morning but i have only just awakened and now i feel very guilty for staying up till 4 this morning :/

#not necessarily hypersomnia #but my alarm went off and i just ignored it which doesn't usually happen

 

I woke up at 2pm today. That is all.

 

You aren't alone friend. Why am I so tired?

 

So, going to bed earlier just seems to make me even more tired.
GRRrrrrrzzzzzzzzzzz.....

 

I spent most of the weekend asleep. But then I also spent most of the week before it not sleeping. Really what I would like to do is crawl into a mug of coffee and take a nap.

 

So much sleepy solidarity.

I've developed tolerances to the things I use to fight it, and now I'm just sleepy again all the goddamn time...
