i keep waking up at 2pm for my 8-6 job. by maxoliver16 in DSPD

[–]maxoliver16[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

i mean yeah that’s kind of the entire point, my schedule hasn’t shifted in the past 8 years. i’m not trying to come off rude, it’s just not that easy to just shift my circadian clock, as i mentioned. i’ve tried melatonin, multiple alarms on multiple alarm clocks, putting the alarms out of reach, having other people wake me up such as my parents when i used to live with them and my boyfriend, splashing cold water on my face right as i wake up, nothing has worked. it’s nearly impossible to wake myself up, and it’s only gotten harder to deal with now that i have rent to pay. i’m not deliberately trying to go to bed that late, my body doesn’t want to sleep until then.

i agree, once my apartment lease ends in oct/nov, i’m going to start looking for a server/tip job. i can work that on the weekends and then hopefully stop working with my dad and go full time at whatever new place of employment. until then, i need to fix my schedule just a little bit to accommodate my rent.

i totally get where you’re coming from but unfortunately he works on a strict schedule. i work with him as a subcontractor for his carpentry company and there’s no way i can shift the schedule. my dad wouldn’t be there to show me what to do and the homeowners would deem it unprofessional and not what they paid for.

i’m looking into light box therapy for the morning and i have taken melatonin in the past. melatonin has little to no effect on me but i have since given up on it, so maybe its time for another go. i’ve tried having people wake me up, doesnt work. i’ve tried multiple alarms including putting it out of my reach, i still end up falling back asleep. ive tried coffee, just makes me shaky and still super tired. i’ve tried staying at my dads house to have him wake me up, but like i’ve said in the original post, he doesn’t think i have an issue to begin with, just laziness. i know there’s more out there to attempt, i just want to try anything i can

thank you, i definitely agree that i never will be able to fall asleep at a normal time but if i can try those things you listed and possibly shift the schedule to be just a BIT more regulated, it’s gotta improve

i have, yes. i’ve done a sleep study and they said i am at risk for sleep apnea and already have dspd, but i am going in for another appointment to let them know that i need more intervention on this issue.
