I Just Slept for 16 Hours...

It's so screwed, since I lost my job my body clock has been goin way out of whack (as usual), but recently it's been getting really bad... There are a few nights it works properly and I get a nice 8 hours sleep, but then there are nights where I sleep split cycle. from 6PM-9PM and then from 5:30AM-6:30PM... that's right you heard me, a full 13 hours in bed, I just got up!! I slept right through, sunrise to sunset...
Basically I think in my subconcious, each time I wake up I'm thinking "no job to get up to, why not sleep for longer"... "and longer"... "and longer"...etc.
Anyway am I fucked in the head or anyone else have this problem occasionally? 
Kev.

No you are not farked in the head, you just need an interest to replace the time that you used to spend at work.
any thing that keeps you up all day and your mind active.

You need to do something active during the day, even if you go for a run/walk/footy kick around or something for like 1 hour.

Thanks for responses people 
Yeah usually I have the thing about goin to sleep late and wakin up late, but i consider that part a choice that i make... the internet comes alive at night
And yeah usually I have my car to keep me busy during the day, but since losing my job ive expended all the mods i could do to it, (note: sudden completion of a few mods that have been sitting not done for ages...)
Anyway thanks for the responses people... I'll try to find some mods on either my car or computer to keep me busy that won't require money...
Kev.

Haha, I sleep for a living ^_^
When I'm at tafe I don't tend to get a lot of sleep. But when holidays come (like as it is now) i tend to sleep around 4-5am and then wake up at like 3-5pm.
It's an awesome feeling when ya wake up, soo refreshed
I just like to sleep i guess. My record was like nearly 20 hours >_<

I am suffering from the same problem at the moment. I don't start my new job for a few weeks so I've been sleeping in some days pretty bad, but I still wake up at the time I used to get up at my old job, around 5am lol, then I usually sleep until like 10:30/11am, sometimes I'll force myself to wake up and get up at 8ish, but yeh the old bodyclock is definitely a fragile thing.
I remember also when I used to work at Woolworths I use to do arvo/night shift, man that fucks your bodyclock up so bad, worst cycle everyday, wake up at 11am, bum around for a few hours, go to work at 3pm, come home at 1am, go on the net for a few hours, then head to bed at 3am-ish then back up at 10/11am lol. So very bad having to do that everyday. Best time to work I reckon is like a 7/8am start, it's not too late for your body to wake up, but it's not too early either.

i used to have this problem,especially when I used to smoke heaps of ghanja,I would sleep for ages and no matter how much i got it was never enough,then when i was in a high profile job and then ran my own business it was the complete opposite i couldnt sleep at all, and would often go for a week straight with no more then 1-2 hours a night,my only advice is routine,if you dont have any your stuffed and the easiest way to fall out of a sleep routine is by having no daily routine..
werd hektik!

Mate, my sleeping patterns took a turn like that when I started this job.
Going from uni life to a regular 9 to 5, REALLY fucked me around.
So yes, you are not the only one, and that disorder your talking about is quite real.
I happen to have a little booklet thingy that you can get that helps with things like that a lot though if your interested.

when i was a kid, i never got a good block of sleep
i'd sleep, then wake up in the middle of the night, i'd get a drink of water or something, then go back to bed, and wake up in the morning.
now it's much worse, i can't get to sleep, a nod off for about half an hour, but to me it feels like hours, so i'm left just lying in bed awake for ages.
insomnia is retarded
