I slept 20 hours last night.


Question Posted Tuesday September 11 2012, 1:52 pm

I sleep at least 10 hours every time I sleep. Sometimes my days are longer, I stay awake more than 24 hours some days to get my sleeping schedule back to regular hours because I get off course a lot. Will this kill me? I went to bed last night at seven o'clock pm... woke up at like 2 o'clock pm. I feel really bad. My muscles ache and I can barely understand or remember anything after waking up.

During this period have you felt feelings of deep depression, hopelessness and then periods of elation? How about grandiose ideas, visions of that which isn't there, rapid thoughts that don't turn off?

Inability to sleep for days or to be wide awake for 24 hours or more or no concept of what day it is happens when someone is in or headed for an episode of mania and bipolar disorder. While it won't kill you a person has to crash and be back to normal.

You should go to an ER immediately and tell them that you're wide awake for more than 24 hours, can't sleep, can't function like normal people do as this is a big deal and have them medically help you with this.

If you can't think, focus or know what happened from one moment to the next you're in dire trouble. I say that as this is what happened during my first bout with mania. Best to get this checked out pronto before it becomes a crisis. It's the only way to return to normal.

This will not kill you. But it could be a sign of depression, or even lead to depression. Too much sleep is not good for the body, that's why you are aching. Try an alarm clock, and talk to your doctor. If you start taking melatonin, it can help get your natural sleep schedule back in order. You can find this at any convenience store.

I hope I helped :)
