Did you ever get real tired, but stay up a little bit longer and not be tired?

Question

This happens to me every night. I get real tired but I have to stay up longer because I have to wake my mom up for work. Then when I try to go to sleep after she leaves, I can't sleep, I'm like wide awake.

Answer 1

YES! i hate that.

especially during the school year because you don't want to go to bed so early that you wake up in the middle of the night, but then when you go to bed at a more appropriate time, you can't fall asleep.

GRR!!

Answer 2

I call this my second wind.  You just need to get yourself in a routine and have a sleep pattern.  This is very hard, especially when you are fighting sleep.  Try getting your Mom an alarm clock and explain this problem to her.  Your health will strat failing if you don't get enough sleep.  Go catch some zzzzzzzzzzzz!

Answer 3

I constantly can't go to bed. I wake up about 6am to go to school and then I don't get home till about 1am from work, yet, I can't go to sleep for a couple hours still... Can be very deteriorating to me.
