Im a 20 year old university student in the UK and sleeping in has been ruining my life. Im addicted to it (and the dreams that come with it).
Basically i get to sleep at a normal time, but i cant for the love of god actually get out of bed at a normal time. I think this started when i got severely depressed about 2 years ago, and then i spent a lot of time asleep so i didnt have to think about or do things. Now however im pretty happy, but i stil sleep in like a madman!
I think i get about 12+ hours of sleep a day. Thats 4 more than is reccomended nationally. Thats an entire morning of my day wasted to sleep and dreams that i cant remember that should be spent doing something productive.
If i have the “sleep” alarm on, i will just sleep in normally and con myself into thinking that its working – when in fact ive just pressed +20 mins like 8 times. If i set lots of alarms then i have to resist the HUGE urge to bo back to bed.
I have to stop doing this and actually get a normal regular sleep pattern! Its even making my diet bad cos i skip breakky and go straight to lunch!
