Littlelady 2 Posted March 22, 2016 Hello After doing some research, I have come to find that I am more than likely suffering from behavioural induced insufficient sleep disorder (choosing not to go to sleep which I thought was insomnia but it isn't) I was just wondering if anyone has this disorder? And any reasons why I'm doing this? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
David88 0 Posted July 17, 2016 Prefer the night ? I know I do and know it's not exactly normal but so much more relaxing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

David88 0 Posted July 23, 2016 I guess I do but am forced to be normal as everything else runs through the day... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Littlelady 2 Posted July 27, 2016 Yeah i completely understand Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chimcha123! 1 Posted July 28, 2016 Yeah, even I can understand your situation. I used to stay awake at night for so many years. This had created a lot of problems in my life. Since everything runs in the day-time, I struggled a lot and got help from an expert psychologist nearby my place. Insomnia and this condition have a lot of difference. Insomnia is the condition of the inability to fall asleep while in the case of people who love to stay awake at night are not unable to sleep. I think, practising therapies like yoga or meditation may give temporary relief, but if you really want to get out of this problem, then it's better to seek an expert advice. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Littlelady 2 Posted August 5, 2016 hi. Thank you for you reply. I will definitely seek professional help as I have tried many things and they don't seem to work. Its been going on far too long and its affecting my ability to function as I cant get to sleep, therefore sleep deprived, then have nightmares when I do get to sleep due to the sleep deprivation. Its no good. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Seraphim 0 Posted August 11, 2016 You like the night more than the day. My days are difficult. More and more i am becoming that way. I have to change because i have to get up at five to go to work at six once again. Its not easy. Especially when you are young. I remember people having a troubled time with this. I understand. I am given a sedative but i can easily overcome it.... like tonight. I feel for your dilemma. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tiredofitall 0 Posted November 15, 2016 If anyone can help. My husbands sleep disorder seems to be ruining our marriage. He doesn't sleep sufficiently at night and by around 4 pm (on the weekends in particular), his speech becomes slurred and his behavior becomes similar to a beligerant drunk person. He is very aggitated and aggressive towards me and the kids. He cannot recognize true from false. It is scary for us. He feels terrible the next day and promises to be sure he is in bed by 11 each night. I try to regulate this and force him to bed at 11, but I can't do that every night. It is exhausting for me because I need to be up at 5 pm. When I slide, so does he and he just won't regulate himself. He also falls asleep when he is alone with the 4 year old. Last weekend, I came home from work on his day off and the front door was unloced and he was asleep in a chair while she was just left to do whatever. I can't take the behavior but if he could get it under controll, things would be better. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Valkyrie 15 Posted November 16, 2016 Perhaps he should consult his doctor about his options, medications or therapies that would help. It sounds like it is affecting his, your, and your kids' lives, so you should explore all your options to find something that works Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
