The body needs what the body needs. If you fell to sleep you obviously needed the rest. It may take you a day or two to get back on schedule but you will be fine.

You don't say how long you've been at the job you mentioned, but a change in sleep pattern is normal when we adjust the time of day we sleep.  Sometimes it can take a couple of months to get used to a new schedule.  Try setting an alarm and getting up at a certain time (say 8-9 hours) each day after you work.  Eventually you'll establish a pattern, and not feel so dragged out.

If you are constantly in the REM phase of sleep I would recommend seeing a psychiatrist.  Although you probably do feel energized upon getting out of bed I am positive that it is not healthy because of the things accomplished in Deep Sleep and Stages 3-4

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

No, whether you oversleep or undersleep, it doesn't change the next days sleep. You should get different amounts of sleep at different stages in your life but as a rule of thumb, get your 6-8 hours....whether or not you over/underslept the night prior.

if you're falling asleep at 5am and waking up at 6 or 7 then yes, it's insomnia.  I know because I have it. BUT if you're falling asleep at 5am and getting a normal amount of sleep then your sleep pattern is messed up.  You'll have to force yourself to get up around 8am and you'll fall asleep earlier that night.

usually, the more you sleep, the more tired you are, the more sleepy... but if you have been staying up late or working hard this week or so, i think your body is still trying to recharge, try to get some rest, not sleep, this afternoon (because the week-end is still far). a hot bath, some relaxing music, a light healthy meal, then sleep 7 hours, and tomorrow morning, with a healthy breakfast, you will be fresher than ever!!

No -the person is still getting 7 hours of sleep.\n\nIt really doesn't matter what time of night - or day - you sleep, as long as you are getting at least 6 hours of sleep.\n\nThe only thing it might be bad for is your job if you're supposed to be there at 8 am.

to much sleep is not good for you

If you feel as if you are fully functional on that amount of sleep then there should be no issue. There are no health risks to adjusting when you sleep, it's the amount of hours you sleep.\n\nThere are people who work night shifts and stay up all night and sleep all day, and as long as they get their 7 to 9 hours of sleep they're fine. \n\nThere are also people who can operate just fine on 4-6 hours of sleep, just the same as we function on our 7-9.

don't know about that, but I know it can affect your mood and how well you react the next day.  You actually need proper amount of rest.

yes, because i am falling into a deep state of unconsiousness, known as sleep. i think of important things, which i nearly instantly forget. but i remember they are important. falling asleep is nothing like the way it is presented on television or on the media. the natural way is simply shutting down all organs in your system for utter tranquility and comfort. when i am tired, i tend to do strange things. yesterday, i was exhausted after my 2nd class at school, so i left home without even considering the circumstances. being tiresome completely changes my personality. i wouldnt be the least bit surprised if the same occured to everyone else. i hope i answered your question correctly =).

I think work sucks.  Today at least.  Normally I like my job, for the most part, but today I'm dead tired.  Had one of those nights wherein I really wanted to go to sleep.  I was dam_n tired, but I couldn't go to sleep.  So now I'm zombie-ing it through the office today.  I want my bed.  And my blanket.  And my pillow.  Dam_n it people, I just want a nap.  I miss preschool.

It does not mess things up to exercise at different times during the week.  I have always tried to exercise in the morning, just to get it out of the way and it makes me feel charged and energized.  I have exercised at night also, because that is the only time I can go to my kickboxing classes.  Some say at night messes up your sleep patterns.  It does not bother me.  I think as long as you exercise whatever time of day it is and stick to it, you are doing great!

If this is actually true you are ruining your health. Your body needs at least 7 hours of sound sleep to repair cells in the body and the brain.\nIf you dont get SLEEP here is what will happen and it can start happening after a week of little sleep:\n\nYour hair will start falling out/thining\nYour eyes will feel week and blurry\nYour blood pressure will elevate\nYour cholesterol will elevate (bad type)\nYou will lose muscles and get weaker\nYou will start gaining weight\nYour body will not be able to break down sugars and fats\nYour body will get less oxygen\nYour will depleat your body of vitamins and minerals \nAnd this is only the start.\n\nMy sons friend was only getting one or two hours of sleep a night and going to college and working late. He started having all kinds of problems even some of the ones above. He still has a bad backache even though he is sleeping well now (the last 6 mos).\nSome of the damage can stick around a long time. The body must get sleep to repair cells and for rest and for your brain to rest too.\n\nIt is dangerous to not get sleep as you can fall asleep anywhere at anytime. The body just shuts down. You could be driving, walking, in school, or anywhere. \nI know it happened to me when I was a teen.

Sleep depravation is very bad for all of us. Seems like you are just exhausted and then you can't think or concentrate. You need more rest whenever you can get it.
