I posted a few months ago (before namechanging) and tried everything suggested but I haven’t had any progress unfortunately. Just trying again to see if anyone knows of any other tips or advice 💜
I have a problem with my sleeping. The problem is that I’m a great sleeper and my body seems to love being asleep! Don’t get me wrong it’s brilliant in some ways- if I lie down and shut my eyes I’ll be sleeping in less than 2 minutes. I don’t fall asleeep unintentionally like with narcolepsy, it’s just if I close my eyes I’ll fall asleep straight away. I do have to be careful in the bath etc as if I shut my eyes for 10 seconds I’ll be sleeping immediately.
But The problem is waking up!!! I can never get up with an alarm. Ive tried extremely loud ones, vibrating ones, headphone alarms- NONE of them wake me up. Ive slept through smoke alarms, noise alarms, hoovering, music, tv, you name it i’ve slept through it.
I still live at home with while I’m at uni so my parents just wake me up by shouting and shaking me and they’re fine with it, but obviously long term I need a solution. It’s not like I wake up and switch off my alarm- I don’t wake up at all with it. The alarm just rings and rings and rings and I sleep through it.
I’ve tried to get up myself without the safety of my parents waking me up but I slept through and was late to work. I’ve practiced on days off uni/work and NOTHING wakes me up, honestly when I go to sleep it’s like I go into a coma!!!
Anyone else had this?? Does anyone know of any ways I can make myself wake up??ðŸ˜
