heavy sleeper? trouble waking up on time?

Question

I'm 21 and healthy atm but through ages 18-20 I frequently had 5- or 6-hr nights, then catch up on weekends. I'm rarely tired during the day because I move and my nutritional intake is well-balanced. However, I'm gone the minute my head hits the pillow and a few seconds later I find that the clock is 8, 9, or 10 hrs later than when I hit the sack. I rarely get dreams and even when I drank a quart of water before bed it holds till morning. Oh, and I normally wake up still sleepy.

I mostly go to bed at around 12 or 1 AM and wake up at 7 to my alarm clock. However, this past month I haven't been able to wake up on time--my alarm goes full blast in my ear at 6:40 for 1 minute, snoozes automatically for 9 minutes and goes off again over the next hour. Most days I find myself waking up at 9 having heard nothing at all--and my mom in the next room gets cranky because between 6:40 and 8:00 she'd had to wake up every nine minutes.

What's wrong with me? How can I normalise my waking pattern?

Answer 1

You're probably not getting enough sleep. Just because you were able to get by with 6 hours of sleep before doesn't mean you can do that now.

Try going to bed earlier-it sounds like your body wants 9 hours of sleep, so try to go to bed at 10pm instead of 12 or 1am.

Also, don't change your bedtimes on the weekend-this will mess up your sleep cycle even more.

Good luck!
