why dont you stay up for over 24 hours, like man through the day when you normally sleep and then you should be tired at night and might be able to sleep?

That's exactly what I do! It works for the most part, and gets rid of my dreams. I don't like dreaming much.why dont you stay up for over 24 hours, like man through the day when you normally sleep and then you should be tired at night and might be able to sleep?

Oh yeah...I can totally relate. I watch the sunrise pretty much every morning. Lucky to get 3 hours sleep if that.

i go to bed at 6-7 am and i have figured out that light is every important if your place is to bright its harder to get in the sleeping mode because usually after a sleepless night when you see the light yoou feel a relief that the day has come finally or you get angry for another night of sleeplessness

Actually, I find the opposite... When the light comes through my red curtains, it cast a glow across my entire room.... For some reason it relaxes me and makes me feel comfortable.... Normally I can get a good hour or two of sleep then... But I'm busy at that time of the day most of the time...

You don't have insomnia, you have a jacked up sleeping schedule (No offense) If you're sleeping "perfectly fine" during the day, then get your mind and body use to going to sleep earlier or later gradually til you get into a rhythm. You will be just like normal (if there is a normal) folks before you know it. Good Luck Hope. BTW I "Hope" I can sleep perfectly fine anytime of day before I am put to rest forever ;)

Probably so.x) I'm assuming it's a psychological thing I have. I definitely don't try to "jack up" my sleeping schedule.D: I really don't know if normal exists or not, but I do wish you the best of luck in getting to sleep. The "you can sleep when you're dead" thing definitely wasn't made up by someone who had trouble sleeping...

Thank You Hope :)
I like your style, Willingness to accept opinions and not get bent like some, and a sense of humor to boot.
Good Luck Again.

I know exactly what you mean, I'm in the same boat. I don't have insomnia or at least I don't think I do, but I do find it impossible to fall asleep before everyone else or before 4am. To me, night time is more invigorating, there's something about the quiet and serenity that I find refreshing, and almost inspiring so I much rather stay awake during the late hours. I know exactly what you mean. For the most part, I'm quite happy with the solitude but every now and then, it gets lonely. To battle the loneliness, I write, read, draw, or anything that helps me feel like I'm communicating to someone else even if it's just a piece of a paper. I suppose it's just a matter of finding a healthy way to either cope with the lifestyle or to change it. I'd never change it in a million years though.

Stan C I agree, I enjoy the quiet and serenity also, because I've had so much CHAOS and significant periods of time where I could not find any alone time, So I guess I'm making up for that by staying awake (Most of the time not by choice) and gathering my thoughts. I have had sleeping issues for most of my life, and it seems to get worse as the years go by. Insomnia is not something you should be gifted with when you attend college, Your mind needs rest so you're able to absorb the professors yapping. As long as I am an average student with a passing grade then I will be satisfied and will not go to any drastic measures to find this rare and seemingly impossible to get a consistent stretch of thing called "sleep" and I TRY to use that time late at night wisely by studying for at least a couple minutes HAHAHAHA! It's a good thing I can remember certain things well (WORD BY WORD) and odd I can't recall what I did two days ago...The brain is fascinating!
