No, it's not really a normal thing.\nBut it might not by a psych problem. There could be a medical problem causing that.  Are you diabetic?  It is possible that your blood sugar is going down low at night, which is a common problem among diabetics.  If that's the case, you may wake up wanting some carbs to make your sugar come back up.

You already mentioned the problem, over sleeping the night before. Your sleep patterns are being disturbed and its raging havoc. The best suggestion is not to over sleep. If you go to bed a little later and then sleep in set your alarm so you are still getting your regular hours of sleep. Try not to deviate your sleep patterns too much.

I could be any number of things. Your diet, stress....anything could be going on with you too. Maybe it's just that the snuggling feels so good, it's too hard to wake up! \n\nIf the problem continues, just run it by your dr.

Try taking like Motrin or Motrin pm, it helps to relax you. And when you go to sleep don't try  forcing yourself to sleep. Just try to meditate. It does work sometimes I have a hard time falling asleep too. Just take deep breaths and slow your breathing, it should help to make you tired and then you can go to sleep. Make sure the lights are off, it will help too. Hope this helps

You are probably not relaxed when you go to bed.  You will sleep better if you stop doing things about 30 minutes before bed and go through a quiet routine, like shower, brush your teeth, etc.\n\nDo you consume caffeine or smoke?  Caffeine and nicotine are stimulants that can keep you awake.\n\nI saw your question about the song that gets stuck in your head.  That is a sign of stress.  Your mind is running low on energy because of stressful thoughts.  It starts repeating the song to block out those thoughts.  Try relaxation when that happens.  Close your eyes, breathe deeply, and imagine you are relaxing at a beautiful quiet place.\n\nHaving trouble getting to sleep can also be caused by stress.\n\nAt these web sites, experts give advice on how to sleep well.\n\nhttp://www.sleepfoundation.org/\nhttp://www.sleepnet.com/

go to a psychologist. you are probably supressing some sort of feelings that are reavealing themselves subconciously when you are sleeping.

I also used to dream a lot, its all because i think too much. So i will no sleep if i dont feel like to, trying to make myself tired(watch tv, play games etc) then go to bed. So that i got no time to think about other stuff.

You should read into astral projection. A lot of people do it during thier sleeping hours and do not know it. The symptoms youre stating sound like what I've read about astral projection gone wrong. :) Study up on it to see if it is something you are doing and then learn to control it.

I find it is lack of sleep or stress.  Maybe both.  It can take a long time to get rid of them or reduce them.  More often than not, one good night sleep does not make up for a week of late nights

You may need to have a consistent sleeping schedule with the same amount of hours each night. Your body may be confused.

Kite Girl, you are probably anxious or depressed. Insomnia of Anxiety Neurosis is characterized by difficulty with falling asleep. However, once asleep they sleep through. With Depression, the individual is able to fall asleep but wakes up in the middle of the night (2-3am) and is unable to fall back to sleep. In any case, I think your problem is a mental one. Consider seeing a neurologist or a psychiatrist to properly evaluate this problem.\n\nBut before you go see a doctor, have you tried using a soporific? (e.g. a cup of cocoa/chocolate drink with plenty of milk at bedtime.)
