My problem is not so much insomnia, but the fact that no matter when I go to sleep, no matter how sleep deprived I am, no matter what sleeping pill I might take my body is the most alert about 11PM and wants to sleep at 4-6 AM and wake up in the afternoon around 2PM Its not that I need more than 8 or 9 hours of sleep. It's more like my body is hard-wired to those times. I've tried melatonin, I've tried ambien, I've tried rozerem. While the ambien works, its short term and addictive. Even with the ambien I still find myself wanting to sleep until about 2 PM if I don't have plans the next day. What is wrong with body? Is there something off with my circadian rhythms? Why doesn't my body feel tired at dark and awake when it's light out like everyone else?
