Lately, I've been going to bed really late and then waking up really late to compensate for it. At night, I don't feel tired. When I finally get to bed, I can't stop thinking about things, usually philosophical questions that I have no hope of solving. It usually takes me at least an hour to get to sleep after I've turned off the light.
But once I get to sleep, I stay asleep. Even when I need to wake up. I slept through my first class the past two days. (and one of these classes was at 1:30!) Once I'm asleep, I don't fully wake up until 10-12 hrs later.
I've tried setting alarms; I just hit "snooze" and go back to bed. The alarm on my phone is really crappy and stops going off after about an hour of "snoozing".
Has anyone ever experienced this? I know that both insomnia and hypersomnia are really common in bipolar disorder, but this isn't quite either of them. I'm not sure what this is.
I just need to make it stop. I need to take control of my life.
Thanks.
