Can you get addicted to sleep?

The meds make you get better and more sleep and then you get dependent on that? What do you think?

You can get addicted but it’s not an official addiction just like sport addiction.

I think so. Anything can be an addiction. Then there is good addiction and bad addiction.

When I have anxiety or feel bad I just want to sleep but I have insomnia.

I fully believe that sleep can be psychologically addictive. The mind starts to enjoy the escape of reality. When one starts to wish for a dreamland over reality, It can negatively effect our lives.

Actually most days I just want to sleep.
Sometimes I’m good mornings with being awake.

I don’t know if I’m anxious, depressed, bored or sick of not being able to be around people because a lot of them want to suppress me to make themselves feel powerful and better than me.I don’t agree.disgusting behaviour.ugly!

Sleep is necessary, but I don’t think it is an addiction. It’s just a natural function.

I informed my doc that my meds put me to sleep… But doc said it won’t :thinking:
Actually I do feel sleepy when I have ariparazole

I like sports. It’s addictive

I am sick and tired (too), when its going p.m time at night its almost impossible to be awake as it feels so hard emotionally, depressed, over stressed without hope, then i fall a sleep, usually i sleep +12 hours sometimes if stressed even if i use strong antipsychotics as cocktail i woke anyway early morning after like 6 hours+ sleep. I can go levomepro 100mg → seroquel prolong 400mg and zyprexa 10 to 20mg and still no sleep enough. I can take 400mg seroquel prolong at morning and dont get tired at all → my brain is going through some ■■■■`d up stress. Im taking now my 400mg of seroquel prolong to relax little bit (thanks to this forum)
