If I stay up all night and sleep most the day? I’ve been doing this for about a year and I’m struggling so much to fix it will I get stuck this way permanently?
That’s entirely up to you. What are you willing to do to break the cycle?
I’m still trying new things hopefully my pdoc will have something new to try also
My recommendation is to just try one thing. Frustrated because you can’t read? Can’t go for a walk? Pick that. Read 1 minute one day. Then 2 minutes. Then 3. Then 5. Then 15. Keep a journal. Just hammer at that one thing until you’ve got it (could take a while, be patient). When you’re satisfied you’ve made progress and can hold fast there, pick the next thing.
This is one of my main approaches.
I used to stay up until 2:00 am, 3:00 am 4:00 am or later every night in my 50’s. For 5 years I regularly only slept for 3 or 4 hours of sleep a night. It was extremely rare for me to get more than 5 hours of sleep at night. And I got up three days a week at 7:00 am to go to work and drive to work and work six hours then drive home.
I just got so I couldn’t do it anymore. My body simply couldn’t handle the lack of sleep anymore. Now I’m sixty and I average about 6-7 hours of sleep a night. I don’t have a choice, I have to do it. I got two hours of sleep one night about a month ago. I woke up so tired I was almost paralyzed. I couldn’t get up and had to call in sick to work and take the day off.
So yes, I made a change in my sleeping habits. It took drastic circumstances to force me to change but I did it.
