Why do i always wait until so late to fall asleep?
in texas it's 4:15-ish right now. and i'm kind of tired now. but it's thundering very loud. and i have to wake up at 9 in the morning. hmmm i've been sleeping 3-sometimes 4 hours a night lately so i guess this may be good. whooooo! an hour extra! XD i've been smoking too much. i think i'm going to go pass out now. but before i go...pick your poison. what's your favorite alochol drinks?
Answers:
Unfortunately you will probably find that you, like me, are custom built for night time. You likely don't release enough melatonin (sleep hormone) when it gets dark like other people do. The fact that you are going to sleep at dawn suggests that your body wants to sleep at first sunlight. This kind of sleep behaviour has always existed and has been important for various reasons throughout human history (most obvious reason is 'night watch duty'). However there are certain triggers that will wake you that you should be aware of. For one, computer screens and lights stop you from producing sleep hormones, which are light sensitive, Also smoking pot will cause you to be tolerant to sleep hormone, as smoking pot actually causes your system to be flushed with the sleep hormone, so you are used to it. Alchohol is murder on sleep patterns too. Eating wakes up dormant parts in your system as does being stimulated by say, a computer game or an exciting book. I've had the same problem as you all my life and have found it extremely hard to manage, but you may not be identical to me so keep these trggers in mind and i wish you all the best!
