I have hade this disorder for as long as I can remember. I am now 25 years old and I have struggled to fix this problem - nobody was understanding what I was talking about. They would suggest things to do to help me sleep, none of these things worked. I have resorted to many different ways of getting to sleep at a decent time. Unfortuneatly I have turned to alcohol or sleeping pills (ANYTHING) in desperation. I new that Something was different about me. I noticed that my body and mind were set to that time schedule - even though I had to get up early and there was no permanant solution. Because of this problem - It causes alot of problems in my life. My fiance doesn't understand why I don't just try to go to sleep, of course he's one of those - as soon has his head touches the pillow he is dreamworld (i'm am very jealous of this). I don't understand why my "clock" is different than most other people. I just learned that was actually a Name for this. I started to feel like I wasn't alone - there are other people who understand what I am trying to explain to them. The best thing I could say was "I think I'm Nocturnal like cats are". Now that I know there is help out there - I feel much better. Trying to figure out why I was like this and dealing with sleepness nights and drowsy mornings at work - I would see changes in my moods, and I would get very depressed at the fact that I couldn't sleep - when the rest of the world can. I hope to find more recent information on this disorder - if I could get E-mails sent to me Thanks and Good Night (5:50am)
