Will I ever have a normal sleeping pattern again?

I stay up all day to try and sleep at night and then always fall asleep at around 5/6 am. This isn鈥檛 fair 馃檮

I work 12 hr graveyard shits and have the most abnormal sleep patterns imaginable. I often sleep for a couple days straight or cant sleep for couple days and then im just exhausted! But it really screws up everything and hopes of having a normal life. ive been doing this almost ten yrs straight and it hasnt gotten any easier on me! So i feel your pain and struggles

@Clovisman I think you meant shifts loool! Yeah, i couldn't imagine sleeping like that, I don't feel as bad about my sleeping pattern now lol

See!!! It has me all screwed up! Haha! Glad i could accidently make u laugh though. But im the same way as you. Ill try and stay up just so that i will be tired and sleep, but then i cant go to sleep and end up at work like a zombie! Its horrible. @Hayleylocks

i have ambien for sleep but not a fan of meds like that. So only take if i just have to. @Hayleylocks

@Clovisman Never had it, but I heard sleeping pills are extremely addictive so I stay away from them. I used to steal my parents when I was younger so I could sleep over the Christmas break and ever since I've been all messed up

You are correct! They can be so i rarely take one and usually break in half if i do! Ive heard crazy stories about ppl getting up and doing things in their sleep after taking those meds and some even driving while still asleep. Guess the mind is off but body is still functioning. But ive never experienced anything like that. Usually just keep me asleep all day or night and not up and down like i normally am @Hayleylocks

@Clovisman I've heard crazy stories too lol It's scary as fuck

Yes! I was very reluctant to try them but nothing else helped me. im very cautious with them of course @Hayleylocks
