I tend to take naps of an hour or more once to twice a day. Since I’m not working at the moment, I tend to stay up really late, usually getting to sleep between 5 & 6am. So I awake between 12 & 2pm, except on days when I have to go out early. I’ve wondered if sleeping three times a day in this manner is healthy, if eventually it wouldn’t be harmful somehow. What do the readers think?

He is taking his morning nap around 10am and will sleep either 1-2hours. Sometimes if he sleeps for one hour he will sleep again around 2pm. If he sleeps 11/2-2hours he will fight the second nap. He usually is in bed by 8 and sleeps till 6:30 or 7:00. How do you make the transition from one nap to two? Would like the one nap to be right after lunch.

When did your baby go from taking 2 naps a day to only 1?? And was it a morning nap or afternoon nap that you kept? I just can’t see how they can stay up from like 7am till 2pm or from after a morning nap until bedtime.

My little girl just turned 5 months and we’re trying to figure out if she should be on a two-nap or three-nap schedule. Right now her schedule is bedtime at 8pm (wakes once around 2am for a bottle), awake for the day at 6am, nap from 8:30-10am, nap again from 1-2pm, and then we try to give her another nap at 5pm, but lately she’s been fighting it and we have to put her to bed early at 7pm so that she doesn’t get overtired, but then that throws off her night sleep and she wakes at 5am instead of 6am. How do we transition to two naps or should we still try to keep the third nap for awhile?

Every day after lunch I get extremely sleepy at work, I doze at my desk and struggle to keep my eyes open. It hits me between 1pm-2pm. Does anyone have any suggestions or tips on how I can stop this occurence?
Details for Citron:
Thanks for your answers and suggestions!

More details: I am a vegetarian so my lunch usually consists of steamed vegetables and rice, or soup and grilled cheese, salad and fries, sometimes a veggie burger or a slice of pizza. I only drink water all day long.

How do I form this new habit? I read that you can start by sleeping one hour earlier than usual for a few weeks untill you can get used to sleeping at 11pm. Does it work? My mind seems to be programmed to go to bed at 2pm only. Any other ways to kick this 10-year long bad habit?

Most days I’ll feel a little tired as the day goes on like most people. My eyes get tired and I can feel my brain slowly reacting slower. However as soon as I get in bed, I’m fully awake. I’ll toss and turn, try and lay still, do little workouts in bed to try and make myself feel tired, but I just cannot. It normally takes about one to two hours to get me to go to sleep.

On the flip side, if I lay down to take a nap during the day, I have no trouble whatsoever falling asleep. I’ll lay down and fall asleep within five minutes. The only difference between the settings in both times is the lighting outside, but I’ve tried turning on a night light at night to see if it helped me fall asleep but it just made me stay awake longer.

Recently over the past month things have gotten worse. I normally fall asleep around 2am and wake up around 10/11am feeling fully awake. But since I got out of school in december I’ve started sleeping later. I normally go to bed around 3am and wake up around 1/2pm, but instead of waking up well-rested, I wake up dead tired and sometimes sick. I’ve tried setting my alarm so I only get 7-8 hours of sleep, but I still wake up extremely tired.

Another problem I’m having while I try falling asleep at night is that my eyes open while I’m trying to fall asleep. It started happening around the same time my over sleeping problem started. While I try and fall asleep I’ll notice that my eyes slowly feel like they’re opening, yet I don’t visually notice the difference. When I put my hand up to my eyes, I can feel them half open. I now have to focus on putting pressure on my eyes to keep them closed rather than just having them close on their own.

What could be the cause of all of these problems?

I have sleeping issues and I have sleeping medications but I absolutely HATE them, because I pass out and literally am a zombie and can barely wake up the next day. Most nights I cannot fall asleep till 4-5am and wake up at like 1-2pm. What can I do to adjust my sleeping schedule so I go to sleep by at least 12-1 ?

I work nights 5pm to 1am
i go to bed around 3am
set the alarm for 2pm
I sleep through it every time
I eventualy downloaded an alarm clock that you can adjust to be more effective, i set it to 1060 hz which was ear piercing to me.
set the 3 alarm clocks i have and the computer to 2 pm and i slept until 6pm the 3 clocks im assuming shut off long before i woke up but the computer was still going. and was still ear piercing when i finaly woke up

Why can i not hear ANYTHING when im sleeping, its been like this for as long as i can remember and ive lost a few jobs because of it, im coming close to losing a 4th job

Any suggestions? is this a sleep disorder?
also
if completely undisturbed i can sleep up to two full days non stop.
