Ouch. You desperately need to see a sleep medicine specialist. Are you depressed lately? Maybe you suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder. Are you on any medications? Is your home too warm at night? Maybe you have mild narcolepsy and don't realize it. Are you a snorer? A sleepwalker? All these things tell something about your sleep patterns.\nI suffer from several sleep related disorders so I know that you really should see a specialist. He/she can 'wire' you up for a night and see what's going on with your dura matter. \nCheck out WebMD online and it should give you a start on info and where to find more.\nBest wishes to you with this serious problem.

The world moves fast. I don't sleep myself. Try reading. Worse case there is always sleep meds. Sexxx also can work...

That might be just a dream....\n\nAll I need to do is : wake up\n\nEdit version : Wait until the merry-go-round stops and get off\n\nPS: I still like my 1st answer ...

Sorry, but you can't wake the dead.  What you need to do is exercise the ones you have.  And dying brain cells aren't the problem.  Your brain cells start dying off when you're fairly young (I think around age 18), no matter what.

Hey there Orditz!  Hope you are doing well in Australia...  Greetings to you from us in Singapore.\n\nI don't think it's "narcolepsy."  That's a condition where somebody who is awake can't stay awake.  Somebody with narcolepsy will fall asleep at any time, including while driving (a very dangerous problem).\n\nThere are a number of reasons why somebody might have trouble "waking up."  If, for example, you've been working out a lot, your body might be in need of extra rest as a way to repair what you're doing to it (in a good sense).  I know that if I'm doing a lot of extra/different physical training, this will happen.\n\nMy partner Alain suffers from apnea sometimes, and this disrupts his sleep patters once in a while.  This will (naturally) impact his ability to "wake up" at a normal time (albeit we have a cat named Malcolm who has figured out how to wake each of us up...  for me, he'll push off the covers, but for Alain he'll bite his ears!).  \n\nThere's a part of the brain called the renticular activating area that sort of makes us wake up or become alert...  We can control that to some degree, but sometimes not, depending on the level of fatigue.\n\nThat zone between wake and sleep can be really fun...  Not to be too silly here, but this afternoon Alain and I had some "quality time without the cat" (you can figure out what I mean here...), and it happened to be in the afternoon after I got back from my 14k run.  We were dozing a little, and it was cool to be able to sort of direct the "dreams" that I'd have in the short segments of dozing afterwords...  You can direct the little dream partitions that way, and it's really nice...\n\nOf course, Malcolm the Cat came in at 5:00pm and started chewing on Alain's ears since it was dinner time as far as he was concerned!!!\n\nBut normally if we can't seem to "wake up" at our normal time, we're probably either staying up too late or doing something with our bodies (like working out in a different or harder way) that is making us need more rest.\n\nHope this helps, and all the best to you!\nmz

Isn't it past your nap time?

If no one will be disturbed by this I suggest you try it. Get a third alarm that plays music as the alarm. Set it to play loud dance music. Instead of turning it off, once you get out of bed try dancing to it. It should wake you up.

Then go to sleep.\nWhat's the problem?

There are several triggers that can 'wake up' your computer.\n\nFirst check your Bios (during startup). Under power options (or something like that) you find several of those. If Bios settings change all by themselves, it is time to replace the battery on the motherboard...\n\nThen in Windows Control Panel you have 'Power Options'. Check if one of those wakeup calls are enabled.

Set your alarm clock very early, and don't put it beside your bed. Put it far away from your bed so that you are forced to get up out of bed and turn it off every morning. That is what gets me up.

Do you wake up when the alarm goes off?  Or are you like me and can sleep right through it? My dad used to yell from the bottom of the stairs to wake us all up as kids and believe me he only had to do it ONCE! I think that's why I can sleep through the alarm clock now! I'll blame it on my dad!(:  A solution I've found is telling myself,before I go to sleep,that I am going to oversleep.  It's a reverse phychology thing that works for me. Your brain is aware that you are going to try to oversleep and it won't let you!  Seriously! Try it! If you can't fall asleep it works the same way;instead of lying there counting sheep,tell yourself that you're not tired and you're going to stay awake.  I guarantee it will knock you out like a light! Another thing that works is getting enough sleep.  If you sleep through the alarm,perhaps have someone call you so you have to get up to get the phone.  Moving your alarm clock so you have to get out of bed to shut it off is another way to keep from hitting the snooze button.  Even as an adult now,if I really need to be up and out early;I have my dad call me on the phone!   Good luck to you. I hope some of these things work for you!

The smell of lavender makes me sleepy. If I am pressed for time and need to sleep it has to be dark and I mean turn your alarm clock to the wall dark. As dark as you can make it. No tv, all those flickering lights from the screen in an otherwise dark room seems to really distract the mind and the eyeball. No music, unless you can pinpoint a song that you can kind of tune out and let your mind wander along with. No caffeine or exercise before bed...blah blah blah if all else fails turn on the weather channel.

Yes, I'm sleepy. I don't know why I stay up so late. Lack of self control, I guess. It's ten after 2 in the afternoon here. I start getting sleepy after lunch and way sleepy around 4.

To start with you need more sleep, if you aren't waking up it usually means you are overtired.  Also you may try louder and different alarm noises

set an alarm on the other side of the room away from your bed so to turn it off you have to get out of bed...then leave your room as quickly as possible to avoid the temptaition of getting back into bed...also listen to loud music or call someone and talk to get your mind awake and less tired
