You need to get yourself on a schedule.Do you work nights or do anything that would prevent you from sleeping normal hours? If not you will probably need to stay up a day or 2 in order to get yourself on a routine sleeping schedule.There is nothing wrong with sleeping 10 hours straight.Doctors recommend 8 or 9 hours sleep a night.You sleep 10,that's not bad.Try going to sleep around 9pm and you should wake up around 7am.Or sleep at 10pm and wake up at 8am.

Sally,

Janissa gave you a good answer. I would add that rather than seeing a general practioner, you see a sleep specialist. Going to an expert on sleep will cut the time you have to spend trying to figure out what to do about your situation.

Today's society dictates a sleeping pattern that is far from natural. Because of work schedules we have to lump our sleeping together into one long sleeping duration. This is actually hard on health and clarity of mind. The long sleep cycles also make it difficult to remember dreams, which are important. It is how we have been programed that creates the biological compulsion to sleep the way we do.

If you notice, animals (in a natural setting) do not sleep in one large clump. They have a series of naps. They wake up after each nap completely rested and energized. Animals don't generally have sleeping problems, and this is the reason. They have not been programed to schedule their sleeping in unnatural cycles.

With practice and proper suggestions, one can sleep a matter of a few hours and wake up completely refreshed and "ready to go." Our bodies, under natural circumstances, know when to sleep.

It is more natural to sleep in 2 or 3 cycles within a 24 hour period. Two- 2 or 3 hour naps with one longer cycle of 5 to 6 hours is a much more natural sleep cycle. The brain produces a chemical during sleep that must be broken down while awake. If one sleeps more that approximately 6 hours in one duration, their body must work harder to break down this chemical, causing sluggishness and a decrees in the body's strength and immunities.

I understand people's work schedules create what seems to be a need for a long sleep schedule. It is possible, however, to alter one's sleeping patterns without much difficulty. What one suggests to one's self is of major importance. While lying down to go to sleep, if one suggests to them self that they will have a good rest and wake up refreshed, this can be very beneficial.

For a while use an alarm clock to make sure of how long you are sleeping. For starters try taking two 2-3 hour naps, and one of a longer duration of 5-6 hours; all within a 24 hour cycle. You may need to experiment, everyone is an individual. You may even suggest to yourself to remember your dreams. It is through sleep and dreaming that the majority of our healing is done.

Your situation may be the result of the suggestions you give yourself about sleeping and the "sleep state."

There is help available, and if you feel you need this then I suggest you seek support from honorable sources. There is help available. Your beliefs however, will color your experience, so it pays to become aware of how you think, what you believe, and what you expect in relationship to this situation. We all have beliefs about sleeping and dreaming; it pays to become aware of these things.

With Regards,

Daniel

Sally,

Go see a Ear, Nose, Throat Doctor for what they call sleep disorder. I had a problem somewhat like yours. After a sleep study was done, I was put on a CPAP unit and sleep almost like a baby now.

You can try to change your sleeping habits. Try going to bed 20 minutes earlier for a week. On week 2, go to bed another 20 minutes earlier. Every week, go to bed 20 minutes earlier than you did the week before. It may be a little hard at first, but you can do it. Eventually you will be sleeping through the night instead of through the day. Also, don't have caffeine for a couple of hours before you go to bed. Soaking in a warm tub for a while before going to bed helps also. Sweet dreams!

Why are you here pushing Ambien on everyone today? Are you a drug rep for Ambien? Every question you answer said to take Ambien. A sleeping pill is not a cure all. It is just a temporary crutch, and should not be taken for any length of time. Please quit pushing Ambien on everyone. Ambien is a prescription drug, and should only be advised by a doctor.

I've also seen another "guy" bouncing around pushing 'Viagra.'

Hi Daniel Knight, Bet it is a hot shot from one of the drug companies. The more they sell, the more money they make. I think they need to take the Ambien and the Viagra themselves.

But what about all those "wonderful side effects?" I believe that the majority of "medicine," is simply a money maker; this way people stay off balance, and don't really understand where their own responsibilities lie.

I probably should stop there. I can really get into the politics of the "medical community," and the philosphies involved, including the "blinders" people are trained to wear so that they continue to feel helpless to take care of themselve.....

Sometimes the elderly have so many health problems, that they are willing to try any new pill that comes on the market. They will try anything to feel better. But sometimes they become their own worst enemy, taking too much of what is actually needed. Then they may feel worse instead of better.

We live in challenging times. We have been taught things that are illusion, but, because of what you just said (fear), people feel that is all they have to work with.

Our social structures would be so much different if we were taught, as kids, about our own awesome creative and healing power. Unfortunately, we have been programed to believe that we are victims insteac of creators, so, we end up losing sight of our own natural and creative potentials. We lose sight of the fact that we are here to learn how we create our own reality; how we create the very lessons that we need to learn. By "giving" away our personal power, we lose sight of our own integrity....we become afraid. This is basically my whole reason for being on Yedda. To try to help people to recognize their own personal power.

It is amazing the resistance I get. People can become quite afraid, (angry) when their ideas of "outside" help fail them, or if an alternative is suggested.

Eventually we all learn. I would hope that we will begin to learn without having to violate ourselves and others in the process.

By the way, I'm Daniel (as you know); nice to meet you Stardust (cool name).

Hi Daniel, thank you, and it is nice to meet you too. I see you are a flute maker. I love listening to flute music. I bought a cd of flute music about 10 years ago in Las Vegas. First time I ever really listened to it, and it is great! Takes a lot of talent to make a flute, and then more talent to play one properly. Anyway, please keep doing everything that you do. I am sure you have helped many people here on Yedda. All of your thoughts are very interesting. Stardust
