Waking up when it's dark outside :(

that happens to me plenty of times. i have a 1 yr old son and whenever he takes a nap i take a nap and sometimes when we wake up its dark outside. i feel like i slept the day away.

No matter how tired I am. but I still can't sleep during the day time. I probably take a nap for thirty minutes the most but still the sleep won't be that deep. i got tire all day yesterday, so I went to bed early last night and to my surprise I woke up late still this morning. I thought it as still early like six o'clock or something but when I look at the clock it was nine already. :D

normally we wont get the mindset to wake up and we generally tend to sleep for long hours in this conditions

I'm a night person so the dark doesn't bother me. I prefer it. When I worked, my job was a 3rd shift. In the fall and winter when I got up about 7pm it was already dark and when I came home in the morning at 6am it was still dark, until we turned back the clocks in October. Then it was just starting to get light out at 6am. All year it was dark when I went to work. I left the house at 9pm. I have more energy at night. My peak energy time is between 1-3am. I would rather sleep all day and be up all night.

i have a tradition of not going out in the dark. as for working during the night, that is the only time i have to work. i could find myself working until midnight. i always tell myself to watch it, i am courting insomnia but i think i am falling to the trap of internet addiction myself.

I am a night person, so i am okay with dark places, although that's true, having been overslept resulting to difficulty of sleeping at night again. then the cycle of sound sleeping will be disrupted and totally change because you will tend to stay up late to wait for your "sleepy moment". If I want to sleep early or on the time i should sleep I take antihistamine hahahaha sorry, on medications though i take this really during night time because I have allegic rhinitis. Wrong advise if you dont have allergies don't follow that.

I hate waking up early to start with. When I do the same thing happens to me...I"ll fall asleep on the couch and wake up when it's dark. I'm usually watching a movie and falling asleep during it I don't get to see the end of it.

Yes, I have and I really hate is to wake up with a headache! That is why I really do not want to have a nap coz the headache usually comes as soon as I get up.

I had experienced oversleeping in the afternoon yesterday. I took a nap and thought I will be awake in awhile but its already 6pm when I woke up. Maybe I overslept because I do not feel well and maybe due to my meds.. I don't like oversleeping too.

It's still dark here at 7 am and already dark here at 4pm I think and soon it will be earlier dark as well. Lately my son said as I picked him up at 3pm he felt as if it was in the middle of night. I felt the same since it was dark/grey whole day on. It does make you feel tired indeed. It's hard to find some time to sleep at daytime so I would not easily go to bed (I can't sleep on the couch). If so I would set the alarm clock since I have to pick up my kids from school and I don't want them to get into panic if I do not show up.

I can feel you. I experienced the same thing when I was still in college. Because we have a lot of things to do at school I usually sleep late at night and wake up early to prepare myself for the day. I usually gets home around five o'clock and usually the sun is still up high. Since I feel very sleepy, I tend to fall asleep and will wake up at seven o'clock which like what you've said, it usually caused my head to ache and will make me feel dizzy and even have body malaise. Though I don't have problems of falling asleep, it is still inconvenient when you feel those things. Maybe you could try to change your sleeping pattern in a way that you won't end up waking up when it's already dark outside.

i don't like have nap at afternon.i agree with you.when outside is dark,i don't want to wake up because that i have enough excuse,such as,too early,through it's 7 clock in winter in the moning.
