Q: I'v heard it's unhealthy to sleep too little and too much. However, that's all I do... I go to bed really late on weekdays and wake up really early. I've become so use to it that I cant help it even if I try to go to bed early. On the weekends, I can sleep for about 12 to 14 hrs.. If i wake up, I close my eyes and just sleep longer and longer and I can do this all day. How can I start going to bed early, when Ive tried so hard already and I just CANT fall asleep... I literally just stay lying in bed, eyes closed, for hours...Until the usual time I go to bed which is like 1 or 2 am. I'm not going to take any sleeping pills or anything like that. First, is it true that it's bad to sleep TOO much? And, how can I make it a routine of sleeping more on weekdays?

-Sleep plays a significant role in brain development. Sleep helps maintaining normal levels of cognitive skills such as speech, memory, innovative and flexible thinking.
-Lack of sleep has serious effects on our brain's ability to function. If you've ever pulled an all-nighter, you'll be familiar with the following after-effects: grumpiness, grogginess, irritability and forgetfulness. After just one night without sleep, concentration becomes more difficult and attention span shortens considerable.
-With continued lack of sufficient sleep, the part of the brain that controls language, memory, planning and sense of time is severely affected, practically shutting down!!
So, how do we sleep better?
* Exercise regularly. However, try to avoid exercising just before bedtime because that
may actually make it harder to go to sleep.
* Finish big meals at least three hours before going to bed
* Don't use your bedroom for other activities such as studying, working, or watching T.V.
* Avoid alcohol, caffeine, and nicotine in the late afternoon and evening.
* Create a bedroom environment that is comfortable for sleeping and keep it cool, dark, and free of noise.
* Read a relaxing book or listen to soothing music before getting into bed.
* If stressful thoughts or problems are weighing on your mind, write them down so you can put them aside for the night.
* Take a warm bath.

Q: It's passed 3 AM, I'm really stressed out over my classes and can't fall asleep. I've been up all nightworking on this stupid assignment (I'm a senior in college)-- I'm too burned out to keep working on it, but I'm too awake to just go to sleep and work on it tomorrow (the actual deadline, holy crap...but I'm going to turn it in a day late). I procrastinated a bit much, and am now paying the price. Excuse the rambling, I'm burned out and can hardly think straight... BUT-
what do you do in similar situations where you're way too burned out from studying, but still can't go to bed? Any tips on relaxing and just going to sleep? Oh, i know the whole Time Management thing, and getting things done on time before they stress you out too much. But besides that (since it's too late now)..any other ideas?

i was on celexa for a few months [i have borderline personality disorder]; it made me gain twenty pounds pretty quickly. and it made me really really tired so they changed the dosage to night time. but just remember that not all side effects happen to everyone in the same way.
