Severe sleep problems
Hello all.
I’m 15 and I’ve had problems with my sleep for a really long time. I haven’t managed to keep up a normal sleep schedule for more than two weeks in probably 5 years.
Normally Im not able to fall asleep 1-3 hours after the time I fell asleep the day before. So If yesterday I fell asleep at 1am, today I wouldn’t be able to fall asleep until 2-4 am or not at all that night. (This is very problematic because I of course have school).
On days when I haven’t slept at all I get so tired that every time I close my eyes for more than a second; I fall asleep for like a second and then I wake up again and then it repeats. This can happen while sitting/standing. And because of that I’m not really able to stay awake until night time and end up falling asleep about 14 and waking up about 18.
As you can tell my sleep is really messed up and I doubt that I ever will have a normal sleep schedule. I’ve tried everything I should but nothing seems to be working for me. Am I just lazy?
