Hi :) I have always loved sleep, I used to take a lot of bad drugs so put it down to that, when my life was really depressing I thought I was addicted to the dreaming, I dream every night guaranteed, and I love my dreams! Even the creepy ones! These days I'm a mum so have to be up early, knowing I'm one of those ppl that need a lot of sleep, I'm constantly trying to get an early night, last night I did, and I've woke up with this fuzzy head that I can't shift. I used to get this when I slept all the time before, what is it??? I still really struggle to get up in the mornings, I'd probly sell my soul at the time for more sleep!! Am I destined to be tortured by not being able to have enough sleep??

    I like sleep as well. I prefer dreams to real life and remember them very well and often keep a journal of them.
    Even the worst nightmares are interesting to me.

    While I sleep a lot, I sometimes wish I did less because it keeps me from getting things done in this world.
    I need more sleep than most people or I function like somebody who is severely sleep deprived. I wish I didn't have a sleep disorder because I would be more functional but at the same time I like sleeping more than most things.

      Do you ever get reminded of a dream you had long after you had it? Like you might say or do something that triggers a colour, feeling or flash image or what ever that you can place in your dream? Almost as though dreams are you telling yourself the future but in no language you could never understand? That's enough mind opium for today..

        yeah, I get that. I keep a dream journal much of the time which I think has let me remember them more and I sometimes think about long ago dreams. Sometimes I can go back to the same dream places too.

      I wouldn't go as far as saying it's a sleep disorder for me, just a annoying. Today is the first time I've had a decent amount of sleep, but I've had a fuzzy head and now it's the afternoon I can't stop yawning! Before I had my daughter I used to be up all night and sleep most of the day, now I've got to be a normal mum lol, I'm struggling to get out of the night owl part, can't get to sleep until about 5am and I'm up at 7. I really don't know how I'm coping as sleep is my fav thing ever! I prefer my dreams to reality! I love the cozy dozy feeling of waking up and going back to sleep!!

      How does that work? I think I've seen this before, the guy on my local news program has the same issue I think

    Sleeping is a nice escape from things, so it's really normal. I used to sleep the majority of the day when depression hit me pretty hard.

    If I were you, i'd nap when I can (which you probably already do). I heard 3 hours is a sleep cycle, so waking up before or after that can make you a bit groggier than normal. To make waking up easier, i'd try and set up something that makes it much more welcoming to wake up, preferably something close by so the reward is pretty instant. That's pretty much all I have, though.

      Yes I do already try and nap when i can, but recently I've not been able to get to sleep until around 5 in the morning, just can't switch off. My doctor told me not to nap haha, I've been trying everything as you can imagine. The main thing for me is to get passed the groggy head, and as you say getting up initially, thanks for your input :)
