Has anyone ever had delayed-phase sleep disorder?

It does suck. Sorry.

There are a whole lot of reasons why that kind of thing happens, and I have yet to fully figure them out, or I'd be sleeping better myself.

BUT, you have to break the cycle, and in a week or two it gets easier. (Though it seems to be much easier to fall off the wagon).

Find an over the counter sleep aid (or similar thing) that knocks you the f*** out. Nyquil works for me. Take it at 10pm, 11pm, whenever. Take a dose and a half if you have to or have a beer with it. Then go to sleep when the tiredness hits. Do that for a week and it will get a lot easier.

abusing drugs doesn't seem the correct answer

In all seriousness, smoke some weed before you need to go to sleep. Cannabis makes your brain produce a whole mess of melatonin which is the hormone that helps you go to sleep. It's the only sleep aid I've found that puts me to sleep, but doesn't have me feeling "hungover" the next day like antihistamines or prescription sleep aids.

wait, you are saying you sleep for 20 hours straight??

I typically fall asleep at around 6AM and wake up at 2AM.

Wow. You are a lazy bastard.

Sounds like you need to move to a different time zone.

You must be exhausted from being up for a whole 4 hours! Why not drink caffeine like the rest of us?

Before I start my rant, one assumption: you sleep 6am to 2PM, that must be a type-o! nobdy sleep 20 hours a day.

Now here I go:

Dude, it's not a bloody disorder, it is call LAZINESS. Get your act together and force yourself to get up for lectures. It is simply a wrong rhythm you got there, man.

Damnit I am sick and tired of people blaming their own insufficiencies on some sort of disorder. Fatties are clinically obese, parents who can't handle their active kids, claim it has ADHD and drug it up. every other person im my high school had some form of dyslexia just because they sucked at spelling. Or they had ADD because all they did was yack away when they were supposed tom be quiet.

GET A GRIP PEOPLE, NOT A PERSCRIPTION!

PS: IF you actually DO sleep 20 hrs a day disregard what I just said.

Perhaps you should try sleeping more? It might improve your spelling.

Yes, I meant 2 PM.

They call this "Delayed Phase Sleep Syndrome". Regardless of whether you consider it a "disorder," it's definitely not laziness. Sleep is physiological, not something you have conscious control over.

I call BS!

How can there then be people who work 2 weeks nightshift, 2 weeks morning shift and 2 late shift and adjust their sleeping times accordingly?

Howcome you can then get over a 8-12hour time diffference within a mattter auf days or may a week or two? IF a persons sleeping rhythm was predefined genetically otr whatever, the modern world would not function.

I was working in such a system myself for quite some time and I went to bed at 3 or 4, got up at 11, went to work at 4, then the same thing again. after about 6 months of working like that, it took me like 2 weeks to get into a rhythm again. sure it wasn't exactly comfortable to change my schedule, but damnit, you are in college, you're young! GET A GRIP!

Oh, also I just realised: you might be trolling. If so: 9.5/10 You really hit a sore spot here.
