Problems Sleeping

[The Batman]

For like a month now I've been having a problem getting to sleep and then waking up. I'd go to bed at like 8 or 9 a.m. most nights and wake up at about 5 p.m. . Other nights I'm awake till 4 or 5 and i'm out till 5 p.m. again. One night I slept from 2 a.m. till 3 p.m. I'm really not sure what's going on though because as soon as I wake up I still feel exhausted and while I was moving around things yesterday for my mom I started feeling weak and dizzy which has never happened to me before. I've also been really irritable lately to the point where I'm pissed at small things. I have no clue what started this.

i'm a bit confused with some of these times that your giving me, i'm assuming the likes of this: "I'd go to bed at like 8 or 9 a.m. most nights and wake up at about 5" are typos but still kind of hard for me to understand. The final part i can though. You mentioned you slept from "2am till 3pm" once and that you still felt exhausted, this is an obvious symptom of over sleep, 12 hours sleep is way too much about a 3rd more than you need. Healthy sleep ranges between 6-9 hours sleep any more or any less is deemed as bad.

I went to bed at like 8 a.m. and woke up like 3 p.m. just now(which is 7 hours I think) so I've been up for like 2 hours and I'm still exhausted and feel like I could go back to sleep. But yea I do think over sleeping is one of the problems and but it's like never been that much of a problem before.

oh right so your sleeping through the day, ok. yes I know the feeling of thinking you've had a good nights sleep but you're still exhausted and feel the need for sleep. For me in tends to stem from a lack of activity e.g. waking up and then just sitting down again to watch tv on weekends. If this sounds similar, you could try and combat this by doing some morning exercises like properly stretching out your body as if you where getting ready to do sports.

Yea I did kinda go from getting out and doing something almost every day to doing nothing so I will start some kind of morning routine to see if that helps. Thanks dude.

Sleeping times are so unusual; What part of the world do you live in?

His profile says: Missouri State, but i don't know how this would matter.

Have you been eating and drinking properly?
Have you been taking medication at any point recently?
Are you stressed?
These can all cause lack of sleep, then again it could just be that you need to re-adjust you're internal body clock. It's happened to me a few times before but you can either:
1. Stay awake for a whole day then go to sleep at normal times or when you would like to begin sleep from now on.
or 2. You can slowly give yourself later/earlier sleeping times or maybe set an alarm just when you would like to readjust your sleep-time to
