I have been having problems with this for a few years. Until recently, it hasnt been a major problem - but over the past year it has been. I have no problem falling asleep at night (usually I pass out as soon as my head hits the pillow) but I CANNOT wake up in the morning. I set 3 different alarms and somehow I turn them off and fall back asleep. I think im doing this in my sleep because I do not feel awake at all when this happens and I often dont even remember doing it. (wake up wondering why my alarm didnt go off?) This has caused me problems in every area of my life as I am constantly late for work and other things and no matter how early I go to bed, nothing helps. The alarms just do not wake me up. PLEASE HELP! I dont understand whats going on. Im sleeping through the night without waking up so I dont see why im so tired. Im often sore (back and neck) and unable to focus and stay awake during the day. I dont nap because my naps are usually 5 + hours long. HELP!
Also - I live in Calgary, AB, Canada and do not know of any sleep clinics in this area.

Thanks!

Sometimes I take a ‘nap’ during the day because I am tired. I fall into a very deep sleep in minutes.

However on an average night it might take me 30 min to a whole hour to fall asleep.

How come I can’t fall asleep at night like I do in the day? Thanks!

OK…I cannot believe this, but I have been wide awake for nearly four hours. I slept during my afternoon at work, but I can’t seem to have my usual 3 hour nap before bed. I tried watching the regional North Dakota news, which usually knocks me out…but tonight..nothing…should I go and see my doctor about this problem??

I have a daughter that is 6wks,& 4days old. She’s been sleeping with me and my husband since she was born, and I want her to start sleeping in her own bed since she is starting to sleep through the night, but I can’t do it. The minute I put her down for a nap she’ll wake up and stay awake until I lay down with her. I’ve tried to have her fall asleep next to me and then quietly get up….but I don’t fool her!!?? Any suggustions??

Sometimes I sleep about 8-9 hours a night but I still wake up tired, go to school, come back have a 2 or 3 hour nap, get sleepy at around 9. I am always sleepy.
Also, I’m actually 13, I’m just using my mom’s account.

You try to wake your partner up during the night or from a nap. They start thrashing, kicking, shoving, and hitting. They yell at you to leave them alone….when you do they are asleep again in seconds. They then naturally wake up hours later- remembering nothing and have no idea why you are upset and sore.

Is this a sleep disorder? Are there other symptoms? How can you treat this?

Help!
Thank you in advance!

This doesn’t happen all the time. Doesn’t matter if I sleep for 8 hours or just nap for one hour, sometimes my hands will fall asleep and tingle. I don’t sleep on my hands, in fact, I sleep on my back, with my hands on my chest or waist area. I don’t do a lot of repetitive work with my hands. I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this, and if so, how did you resolve it?

I take a nap after getting home because I’m just too exhausted to focus on my work. So, I decide to take a nap, and I wake anywhere from around 11PM to 2 or 3AM, and I go back to sleep again from anywhere around 3-5AM and wake at 6AM. I heard that doing this disrupts the REM cycle. If so, how? And is it really that bad? What are the long term side effects?

I need to spend most of the night awake. Is it better for me to take a few power naps (assuming you know what they are, basically a nap that lasts from 10 to 30 minutes, you can google it up for more details) or sleep all through the 2 hours that were given to me?

I’m the kind of person who needs 10 hours of sleep at night - unfortunately, I get closer to 5 or 6 because my boyfriend and I work different schedules. Usually, I just sleep a good 12 hours each night over the weekend & I’m fine during the week. This isn’t the case this week though. Even on the weekend I felt the need to take a nap - it wasn’t just that I felt sleepy, but that I couldn’t keep my eyes open for anything. Yesterday i refused to take a nap, knowing I’d have to come to work today and wanted to get good rest at night. That didn’t happen. As soon as I went to bed, I coudln’t sleep. Mind wasn’t racing or anything like that, I just couldn’t get to sleep - then when I did, I couldn’t stay asleep.
Now I’m starting to feel drowsy again. What can I do to stop this cycle & make it through the day?

She’ll MAYBE take a nap around 3 for about 45min then when it comes time for bed (9:30), she’s wide awake and playing in her room.
We’ve stopped giving her anything to drink at 8 and we’ll give her a bath/ shower by 8:30.
Even if we didn’t have an active day, she’ll be up at midnight wanting to play.

I purely breast feed, and my LO has started getting in a bad habit of needing my breast to fall asleep. How can i get her outta this habit? I know its my fault for letting her start this, I didn’t know it would get this bad. Now anytime I need her to nap, its like she needs the comfort of my breast just to fall asleep.

She will be hungry so i will feed her, she will eat for about 5 min. Then fall asleep.

If i feed her and wake her up when she is done eating, and try to get her to sleep by rocking her or some other way, she gets SOO mad. Then she gets so mad and upset I can’t get her calmed down any way but by putting her back on my breast.

She is 2 1/2 months old.
Well it’s not always going to be convienent for me to just whip out my breast to put her on just so i can get her to take a nap.

It’s exhausting and she needs to be able to fall asleep with some other remedy. I don’t mine getting her to fall asleep sometimes like that at night. But i can’t be doing that ALL day long with her. I would love for her to take a paci and be rocked to fall asleep. Not just have to be on my breast.

I am trying to teach myself to nap in my desk chair for ten minutes every afternoon but I find it difficult to fall asleep in a sitting position.

I got around 4 hours of sleep last night. I then went to work and came home and took a 2 hour nap. I am going to work this morning with no sleep. I have read that getting no sleep can eventually cause permanent brain damage!?? Should I be worried about this?
