Sleeping After School

[Toronto_BBer]

Whenever I come back home, after school, I always feel tired. Usually I end up taking a nap. But then I can't sleep during the nighttime, which really screws me up the next day during school. Do you guys got any tips to go throughout the day without sleeping?

man i have the same problem. if you keep yourself occupied you wont go to sleep. stay on here,clean, random ****.

[NateIsGreat]

I've always had this problem and it was always pretty bad, but then I got to college this year and I didn't have class everyday, and didn't have annoying parents waking me up or keeping me from sleeping, so I got REALLY ****ed up, sleep wise. Just getting back on track.


Just stay occupied. Go on a walk, you won't fall asleep standing up, outside.

Well, I always have a sh*t load of homework. Whenever I attempt it I just fall asleep. You guys think I should workout before I do my homework, or will that only make me more tired?

Workout, take a cold shower, and then do homework. You'll be wide awake and pumped.

same thing happens to me

today i went to school, came home at 11:00, passed out hella quick

just need to get into the habit of going to bed at the same time every night

which is difficult b/c our schedules simply may not let us. ie: usually i like to be ASLEEP by 10:00 (and wake up around 7:00) but on Mondays, i don't get out of class until 9:00PM ;/

just eat something good and do not sit on the couch or bed b/c your brain thinks its time to sleep

[mertearkan]

I hate this, happens to me all the time.

Like tonight -.-

[lmaonade123]

This happens to me a lot too, take naps that are like an hour long right after-30 minutes after you get home.

[96EverSince]

lol op this has been happening to me for the past week. yesterday i fell asleep at 2 and woke up at 6:30 to go to fucking school. was thinking about going to sleep again today about 30 minutes after i got back and i decided not to because I'm just going to **** up my sleep schedule more. op my advice is do something brah.

[vik66]

take a 20 minute power nap... (srs) when you take a long nap, you usually feel more tired that when you first were, but with a 20 min nap you will feel nice and refreshed and will still sleep at night. Read this on some sleep study thing and it really works

[TheDarkKnight27]

4:30-6:00pm = Nap time


I get home eat some stuff then sleep.

[doctorkellyy]

i have insomnia, dont have this problem.

[marcoecon]

i have insomnia, dont have this problem.

drink 2 cups of milk, eat 1 banana, 1 spoonful of pb before bed. Always helps nail out an eight hour sleep.

Sounds like a good idea, probably gonna try it out tomorrow. Tell you how it goes.

I usually go to bed anywhere between 10 - 11:30

Lol this.

I try that. I can't sleep at night if I do. Plus I have a busy schedule, so taking naps really screws it up.

Weird, whenever I take 20-30 minute naps, I feel really tired and want to sleep more.

i have insomnia, dont have this problem.

Really?

[Nadolax]

[bananabucket]

in my senior year, i would often sleep after school. i enjoyed it, i dont know why you think its such a problem. then i didnt go to bed until 1:45 am (by choice). if i'm at school, i usually dont get tired. its when i get home and im just sitting around. sleep till dinner, then have 6-7 hours of whatever.

This, appariently.

I've heard/read that if you take a short nap it can actually help you sleep at night.



Plus you should look at when you're getting up, going to bed and stuff if you're having trouble sleeping at night. Make sure it's always the same time and nothing too crazy.


I normally feel tired after school, then I eat and go to the gym and I'm right.

[daveerwin]

I like to bang chicks after schoool. Forget sleeping.

[veto100]

This thread has me thinking... I have been, for the whole Fall semester so far, having a relative lack of sleep. Almost consistently, I find it difficult to fall asleep when I hit the sack at about midnight (almost every night), and there are numerous occasions in which I'll just stay up listening to my iPod, or even continuing research for my classes instead of sleeping. This can go until 3:00 or 4:00 AM, it's ridiculous. I usually wake up between 8:00 AM, to 8:20, sometimes even 7:00 if I have a meeting with my councilor. First class starts at 9:35, I get out at about 11:00, then come 12:45 PM, I'm in my second class after an hour and a half stretch of time (usually eating, then studying), and that doesn't end until 3:00.

About two weeks ago, I remember almost dozing off in my second class, Algebra. This was my low point. Now I remember doing, and I usually do on days like these, nap after coming back from school. My naps are typically an hour or two when I do them (on average every other school day). The problem is, I sometimes let myself go (I don't set the alarm), and sleep in until the evening, usually 7:00 or 8:00. This gets me in a weird sleep pattern which causes me to stay up late. Even on my off-days (I go to classes twice a week), I sleep in long (until 11:00 or 12:00 PM), and go to bed late again.

It's a habit I can't easily break, due to the fact that I'm tied down to studies, and other important things to manage. Any recommendations? Am I a text-book case of insomnia, or is it something else?
