Thanks guys. I do set two alarms and they are across the room. If I over sleep once a precedent has been set and it is extremely hard to wake up on time after that. In my sleepy state it is easy to justify 10 more min., 30 more min. and so on. Especially knowing I won't get in trouble. But it is really embarrassing walking into work so late, but I kind of use the depression as an excuse not to care. I am a manager of my own department so you could say I have a little leeway but it just gets out of hand and snowballs. Other department heads get there on time consistently.

I am on meds. I take them in the morning because one of them energizes me. I drink sleepytime tea and read something non-stimulating about an hour before I go to bed. Which is helping fall asleep.

Two days in with the new boss and so far so good. I get up when the alarm goes off and don't reset it. I'm off tomorrow. So now the thing is can I get up when I have nowhere to go; so then I'm sleepy at bedtime. Sleeping all day is my way of avoiding the bleakness of a life alone. I am doing better emotionally now and I've conquered some of my other hang ups. But this one is rough. I think the best way to solve it would be to intellectually change how I view what I'm doing.... I just don't know what that would be. I already feel bad, like a loser because of it, I don't know how to just wake up with a lust for life. I guess I don't know what to do with myself, my time, my life. So I just sleep it away.
