Today I took the little one to the first day of pre-k. Went to the car dealership and started the process of trading in my 3 year old car for a new one. On top of that lower my monthly payments by almost $60. So yeah it was a good morning.

First time I read that sentence I missed out the word car, so cos of the context from the last sentence it sounded like you were trading in your 3-year-old :p
 
No - it's a psychological thing. If i have to wake up, i'm guessing my brain releases more of some weird chemicals and crap that it normally does. If i have an exam i can have 3 hours sleep, wake up totally alert with no problem. Go ask some sleep specialist, i dunno the real answer.

If I'm not doing anything, i can have 10 hours sleep and will still feel tired.

Your stating two things which are just pointless and stupid facts, of course i can physically get up at anytime with an alarm clock.. but i will feel like absolute **** (unless i'm doing something important). Of course i can get into bed whenever i want.. but i won't fall asleep till my normal bed time - thats pretty normal. It normally takes me one or two hours to sleep if i got into bed at 5am, if i went at 1am i would just lie there until 5am and then take about an hour to sleep.

There are lots of cases which can change stuff in your brain to affect you on a physical level. Think somethings going to hurt ? it will hurt more than it should. Think something isn't going to hurt ? it will hurt less than it should.

Feel like running for the sake of it ? you might do well if you are fit and healthy. Need to run because theirs a schizophrenic knife wielding murderer after you ? you would run like a pro with relative ease.


I'm not denying i'm lazy, i am, i drive to the food store which is 5 minutes walk away. But that has nothing to do with my inability to sleep before 5/6am at this point in time.
No, it's downright laziness. Here's your proof. I have the SAME problem but yet can still force myself to do what I need to do. Party all weekend and need to get back on a normal sleeping schedule? Yea right, not if I don't have to. Got a job interview in 2 days? You bet your *** I'll be staying up all day to go to bed at 10pm the next day. No coffee, no energy drinks, no constant snack foods, no soda, only tea and koolaid to drink and dinner for food. It's hard but I do it. Trust me when I say I know exactly what you are talking about because I've had the same problem since high school when my parents started letting me do whatever I wanted. I would go to bed at 2-3am and get up at 6am to go to school. Only reason I stayed up is because I couldn't sleep and would sleep during classes. My old job didn't make it any better. My old boss would swap me between 9:30am-5:30pm schedule to midnight to 8am twice in the same week with no day off in between. That made my situation a whole lot worse and made me extremely grumpy. I eventually had to take control of my laziness and just force myself to get up at a decent hour and eventually my schedule would turn around. If you Google it there are MANY ways to do this and most help.

And actually, your laziness does affect your inability to sleep. The less energy you burn off compared to your fuel intake means the longer you sleep. You said you are large, correct? Then I'm assuming you eat more than you should, and don't exercise enough. If you where more active you would gradually get more tired quicker because you don't have all that extra energy to keep you awake. Eat less, burn more, sleep better. That was my advice to a friend of mine who just went from having "sleep apnea" and needing a machine to sleep to actually going to bed between 10pm and midnight like me. He also used to be in the 270+ range and now weighs about 10lbs more than me (165) because I helped him turn his habits around. If you hadn't realized I don't believe in quacks who called themselves psychologists, ect or "sleep experts". These idiots don't know facts if it hit them in the face. I'm not claiming to be an expert at all, but I'm pretty confident in the information I know because of a few things. 1: I have the same problem. I'm a night owl and it is REALLY hard not to stay up til the sun comes up but I have been managing to keep a regular schedule for a while now. 2: I have overcome many times my problem. 3: I have helped quite a few friends not only lose weight, but also sleep better and maintain a decent sleeping schedule.

Bottom line, it just takes will power to do what you want to do. That is proven by the things you have explained like "important exams" over simply getting up. So you feel like ****? So what....just suck it up instead of sleeping 10 more hours.
