Hello My name is Thomas and I have a problem.
My entire life I have been waking up and going to sleep 1/2 to 1 hour later everyday my entire life. I don't know what to do anymore. I am trying to look for my diagnosis on what could be wrong with me now but I can't seem to find answers.
When I was young I had problems waking up and going to sleep. I would find myself wanting to stay up til midnight, then 3 then 5 then 7, then before you know it I was staying up til noon. My body will not let me rest when I want to and never has. I try to control my body but it goes to sleep and wakes up when it wants to which is about an hour later and waking up an hour later by the day.
My whole life so far (I'm 28 now) I have been told that I need to learn to have discpline and control myself and that I'm lazy and just need to learn and adjust to myself. I can't control it and I have tried and now at 28 I"m starting to think it's not me and something else.
I can stay up all day long but my body is in a rhythm to were it sometimes won't let me sleep because it feels it should wake up. I have had many days were I was up for 30-35 hours straight and couldn't sleep. My body would be tired and exhausted but my mind would be pumping and thinking and moving and not stopping. I could not stop thinking.
I have been this way my entire life ever since I was a child I can remember being this way the entire time. Sadly it's affecting me badly all throughout my life. I joined the Army for 4 years and had alot of trouble, there are times it would be lights out in bootcamp but even as tired and exhausted as I was my mind would race and race and I would not sleep.
I don't know what to do anymore about this problem. I can't seem to find the diagnosis anywhere online and I"m not sure how to help myself. I am trying to sleep right now and work in 5 hours but I can't sleep again my body is set to sleep at 8am today.... So most likely I will work in a narcoleptic state and then get off and be up all night again.
I don't know why my body doesn't ever adjust to a set schedule and why my body won't let me be normal. I'm tired of my mind racing and not letting me rest when I have so much other things to do on a schedule.
I'm looking for advice here and no I've never seen a doctor about it. Please help.
