I've been home from college on break since Dec. 13 and since then I haven't been to bed before nearly 4 in the morning or later everynight. I sleep late and go to bed late, feels like a cycle that won't break. I've been staying up most of the time to talk to JS as hes in California now and I'm in TX with a two hour time difference, he goes to bed at two typically and me later. Been trying to get to bed earlier but when I do I just lay there waiting for sleep to come.
Part of me is wondering if its being home that is causing my sleep to be off the wall, I don't do alot during the days so maybe the lack of energy is keeping me up.
Slept fine at school, but now its just not happening. Finally when I do sleep I don't get up until 3 in the afternoon since I couldn't fall asleep until nearly 4 or 5.
I really don't want to get on sleeping pills but if this continues once the semester starts up I might have to. My dad suggested aspirin before I go to bed to calm myself down, but it doesn't make me tired.
This has happened several years ago where I went through a period in high school where I couldn't sleep for several weeks at a time.
