sleeping disorder


Question Posted Sunday March 27 2016, 7:18 am

i don't know what's wrong with my sleep. i am a night owl and a late riser.but sometimes i just skip my office due to oversleeping. it not like that i don't hear alarm buzzing. inspite of keeping it on snoozing i repeatedly dismiss the alarm and convince myself its not important and go for another round of sleep that lasts not less than 3-4 o'clock in the afternoon.its not that i haven't tried but in the morning i am just a changed personality no matter how rigidly i take oath before going to bed, in the morning i end up convincing myself the other way. i don't get time for breakfast and lunch.and after waking up i feel guilt and depressed about myself... i am kind of fade up of my sleep. doctor prescribes me with sleeping pills for better sleep at night but my main problem is my changed circadian rhythm and i am unable to refix it. please help.

If I had this problem and Drs couldnt fix it, then I would seek a night job, during the hours I am more awake. Graveyard shift sounds good. Then you're up for a while after work and then go to sleep. Sorry but I have no ideas how to fix this.
I do believe that using a snooze alarm isn't helping, only making it worse and more frustrating.

Then again, perhaps your conscious mind and awake self, is fighting with your subconscious mind.

Even while awake, our subconscious mind is always there having a plan and idea of what is best. My subconscious at times acts like a little child as far as some ideas, or fears and worries and the reasoning isn't always sound. However since childhood, I have always talked to myself, essentially to my subconscious when I want to accomplish something. Demanding or telling yourself what to do will result in something like a child digging in their heels and refusing to go along with it. On the other hand, if you can befriend your subsconscious, this is like accepting the subconscious self like another totally different persona inside you, then perhaps the two of your persona's and minds can compromise. It might take asking yours, why it doesn't like sleeping at night like most people. Have a conversation with yourself. I have done it by writing a document, just rambling on as to what comes to mind. Often its a lot of questions or guesses like "I wonder if there might be some silly fear deep within that once taken care of, I will no longer fight myself and be able to sleep when I want.
Our minds are more powerful than we give them credit. In energy healing for example, when I picture the healing in my mind, the other person feels it. Since you stated "I end up convincing myself the other way," this is my best guess as to what is going on, that on a mind level, there is two opposing forces fighting, your subconscious with your conscious mind. Its hard for most people to just start on their own having a relationship reaching their sub and treating it as you would your best friend, not running the show but compromising on whatever you both do, encouraging when your sub is scared about something, etc. If you feel thats too much for you, then I know another way to reach ones subconscious is to go to a good hypnotist, one who is also a psychologist and understands the psychology of how both minds work. The hypnotherapy might help to put you in touch with your subconscious and discover why you both are fighting each other on this. Sorry, I don't have any other ideas.
