CAnt stay awake when it's darkp

[Halloweensnake]

its the same every year,at this time.as soon as it's dark..now...I'm falling asleep.i can't stay awake..in the morning I can't wake it untill its light...today it was 7 45 before I dragged my sorry ass out of bed...since 6 30 pm I've been desperate to go to sleep....am I the only one like this..or is it normal?

[Toolchest13]

I'm exactly the same. I thought it was just me. I've been trying various vitamins but nothing seems to work!

[Halloweensnake]

I'm on so many I rattle...htp5.omegas369. Multi vit.b12. Valencia,potassium.and the pill...9 I take before bed each night.still falling asleep at 6pm ffs

[Halloweensnake]

It's hell in the morning.we are nearly late for school every day..I can't wake up when it's dark..in the summer I'm up when it's light

[Halloweensnake]

I thought it could be sad..but not sure it actually exsists

[spankhurst]

Me too, in fact, I often sneak off for a nap after dinner for an hour just so I can have an evening of some kind.
Seems perfectly logical to me that when it looks like night, we want to sleep semi hibernate.

[Halloweensnake]

If I slept after dinner I'd be down for the night..nothing would get me out of bed short of a fire

[Halloweensnake]

My diet is quite carb heavy at mo....wondering if that could be causing it..I often felt sleepy after a lunchtime sandwich,so packed them in...I keep having toast for tea..so could be that....but I get this every year 😧

Hello found you!

Well the NHS website seems to think SAD is real. How about one of those natural daylight clocks?

[MrsPear]

clock

[GingerIvy]

SAD is real, to the best of my knowledge. I'd have to agree with MrsPear about the natural daylight clock. Worth a try.

[mogloveseggs]

snake I'm the same. Early nights do seem to help me. In fact I'm off to bed in about ten mins.

[MrsPear]

Here is another clock I am not a morning person and this time of year is most difficult.

[Halloweensnake]

Oh thanks guys...for finding me...it makes for a long winter,feeling like this..I'm slightly better in the sun,but not much of it around at the moment.never heard of this clock.going to click on the link now

[Halloweensnake]

Ok thanks I've looked at the clock...it would need to be very bright to imitate a summers morning....but I'm getting desperate,so will see if funds allow

[wombattoo]

I think the clocks are very successful. I have the opposite problem. I am always awake by 4am - winter and summer.

[Halloweensnake]

Wommbato,do you find that a blessing in that you can get everything done while the whole house sleeps

[wombattoo]

Sorry I disappeared snake. No, I used to ironing and stuff but now I tend to just loll about in bed.

[BusterGonad]

I've had the Lumi clock. It's good. Try it. If that doesn't work then you might have to have a diet over haul.

[cushioncovers]

Same here. In the summer I'm up when it's light sat in the garden drinking tea by 7am washing on the line. In the winter I just want to sleep. I feel like I'm dragging myself through the winter.
