Should I be worried? Has this happened to you?

[Your_boss960]

I only sleep for five to six hours a night. (It keeps getting lower) I used to sleep for seven to eight hours a few months ago. It all started a month and a half ago when I started sleeping at 12 am and set my alarm to five am. I guess my body is used to it and I never go to sleep until ten to eleven pm. Then I wake up at four to five am even without my alarm.

Im not tired right now even though it's just been five hours, I'm just really worried. Why does my body naturally wake me up after so little? Should I go to the doctor? How do I start sleeping longer again?

The only thing that has ever helped me fix my sleeping schedule is exhausting myself. Get very little or no sleep at all one night, and exercise the next day, keep busy etc. You'll be worn out pretty early that night. Keep yourself up until eight hours before you want to get up. Set your alarm for eight hours.

That should reset your bodys clock.

Honestly I sleep 2-4 hours a night and I'm always energized and nothing really happens

Don't be worried

[Your_boss960]

[Your_boss960]

We should be worried...

[glamgamergal]

I notice you worry way to much so I sometimes avoid your questions

But honestly you don't need to be worried at allive been this way for over a year now so just get over it

[Your_boss960]

You can get over it if you want to, but I don't. it's not healthy and there are a lot of facts to prove it. Just admit it; you're sleep deprived.

Even if you don't want to admit it to yourself, I'm sorry but you are.

Given your age, you really need 8 hrs and without sleeping pills.

What /who wakes you up at 4-5 am? The sunlight ( Summer solstice is approaching) ?
Animals or other persons getting up?
Did you try ear plugs?

[OrdinaryGentleman]

Go and stay up for 24 hours plus then attempt sleep it immediately re-calibrates your system. I do it all the time and yes it is unhealthy to not get good sleep, this helps even vets with PTSD.

[Your_boss960]

So I'll sleep longer if I stay awake for 24 hours?

[OrdinaryGentleman]

Yes exactly, you are depriving your body of sleep and in order to gain the sleep back you body over compensates with more sleep. Repeat until normal sleep pattern resumes. Of course go through the motions block natural light, stop all electronic light 1 hour before bed, read something, remember to think mellow thoughts, then fall asleep.
