I've had trouble getting out of bed for as long as I can remember. The last ten years have been particularly crippling as now I am an adult and can't carry out my basic responsibilities. I'm a slave to my sleep cycle. I have trouble transitioning from dreamtime to waking life. The weight of my instinctual resistance to waking leaves me feeling like I don't have a choice. I see a therapist and I've tried a slew of medications with no lasting change to the oversleeping. The self-hatred I feel for not getting up on time starts a self-fullfilling cycle that makes it even harder for me to find the motivation to wake up at all. Sleeping twelve hours at a time is normal for me now. This is the most challenging aspect of BP for me. I hope you can work with a therapist right away to address your morning dudldrums before they become a longterm behavior pattern for you. Good luck. Let me know if you find a med that fixes your sleep problem.
