I can't get up early. Literally anything before 10 A.M. messes me up. I've had this issue all my life as far as I remember and it's NOT the amount of sleep I get, I can go to bed at 4 A.M and get 7 hours and feel fine, but if I go to sleep at 10 P.M. and get 7 hours (waking up at 5) I feel like hell. I've varied the hours so much, from as little as 4 hours per night to as much as 11..... same thing, if I wake up before 9-10 A.M. I'm sick all day
Symptoms:
- Cold..... i'll have to actually carry a jacket in the summer as I'll be shivering and freezing
- Nausea, doesn't go away, it'll be dinner time and I'll still be struggling to eat
- Diarrhea ... no need for detail, but lasts all day too
- Cold-like symptoms, stuffed up, aches and pains, zero energy, headache, sneezing
We're not talking getting up at 5 A.M. here, we're talking days like today that I got up at 7:30 and went to bed around 10:30.... pretty normal hours and yet I can barely function.
I've been asking doctors all my life about this and none seem to have an idea.... they suggest caffeine, but the issue is not that I feel sleepy, it's that I feel physically ill. My parents are the same way, 10 hours of sleep, start their day around 11 or noon and a 2 hour nap in the afternoons, so i'm sure it's genetic but does anyone know if there is an actual name for this??? My parents are self-employed but I work normal jobs and this affects me so much, everyone always asks if I'm sick or if I'm stoned because I look so out of it.
