Sleep All The Time
| Sun, 01-10-2010 - 2:55pm |
Does anyone else feel like they would sleep all the time if they could? Any chance I get to lay down (I have children, so not much) I want to just curl up in my bed and sleep. Is this normal? I know it is part of depression because I lay there and think of all the things I could be doing while the kids are in bed (read a book) but I would rather just sleep. Sometimes it feels like I look forward to my dreams. Am I normal? Anyone else feel this way or have this problem?

HI Heidi:
Hi Heidi,
I tend to wanna sleep all the time when I'm down or bored or stressed, so yes, I think it's quite normal. I did this much more when my kids were little - they were EXHAUSTING!

When you do something for someone else, you create meaning in your own life as well as theirs. What you give you get to keep. What you fail to give you lose forever.
Heidi,
I wish I never had to get out of bed. If given the opportunity, I would sleep all day. Sometimes, it's all I can think about. As soon as I wake up, I wish I could back to sleep. As I'm taking my shower, I think about how nice it would be to be in bed. All day while I'm at work I want to sleep. The thing is, I usually get 8 to 10 hours of sleep every night, so I feel like I should be getting enough sleep, but my body says otherwise.

Yes, I want to sleep all the time!
Due to my living conditions, I sleep a lot more than I need to, also. I am living with my mom and brother in a one-bedroom apartment. I have no "room" to go to and shut the door. I have no privacy. I sleep on an air mattress in the living room, with my brother sleeping on the couch in the same room. When my mom is home, she's sitting in the living room. It's unbearable at times. Sleep, or leaving the house is the only way I can "escape" and "be alone." When I'm awake at the same time as them, I have to sit and be social, sometimes when I REALLY don't feel like it.
Sleep is also how I have coped in the past with "escaping" my depression. If I'm in a bad funk and can't shake it, I just sleep.
I am thinking more and more of going back on meds. I'm afraid my depression is going to ruin my relationship if I don't get it more under control. (I'm about to make a separate post about that issue).
I have the same issue, and concur with the rest of you.
My problem? I actually DO have the ability to sleep all day, all week and do so. (Sigh.)
I work from home (this is laughable at this point- like I can really work...) and feel like crap all the time. I've been trying so hard to get on a normal sleep schedule- unsuccessfully- for MONTHS. I can't sleep when I should, and I can't stop sleeping when I shouldn't. It affects everything. And I'm so exhausted. Going to the gym for an hour wipes me out for the rest of the day.
I got up and went to a kickboxing class at 930am this morning. I was home by 11am, and fell asleep shortly thereafter. Woke up at 5pm... I'm so frustrated.
Hi, antyem4 - do you see anyone for therapy?
