Every day I wake up around 12 and then sleep later in the day. I usually go to bed around 1 AM but I feel like I sleep too much and would like to wake up earlier. What kinds of things could wake me up earlier? I drink coffee which makes me wake for awhile, but then I go back to sleep.

Maybe go to bed early. I go to bed about 9pm. I wake up 8am. It’s probably different for you.

I should go to bed early but I kinda enjoy the night. All my thoughts come together at night and I write and paint and watch my favorite shows which are only on at night. Maybe Id go to bed around 11 so I still have time to myself at night

I was like that before I start drinking coffee.
Now I drink 2 strong cups of coffee in the morning and I don’t feel sleepy until 9pm. I sleep from 11pm to 9am. Try sleeping earlier to wake up earlier and drink strong coffee right after you wake up.

True that could work. I used to be an energy drink junky but my mom wont let me drink those so Ill resort to strong coffee. Every afternoon when I wake up I smoke a cig and drink coffee. I think the meds make me really tired as welll

I’m still pretty sedated and need coffee and naps but I moved from sleeing 10 hours to 8 or less simply with more exercise. Helps the mind and body too.

Oh okay. Im kinda heavy and have heart problems so its kinda hard to exercise. I wish I could be motivated to exercise more
It could be anything like a long walk with breaks, no need to run.

No it is just sleep is amazing, I would do it more if I could. There is probably not much you can do about it, meds can mess up your sleep patterns.

Since starting Loxapine, I’ve been sleeping 12 hours a day too. It’s frustrating because I want to be up more. But I’m just too tired.

Yes I hate it. I wake up to put my dog out and then go back to sleep for hours
