I often wonder how many people live with a severe sleep problem that they cannot control but feel that they are lazy because they cannot get up in the morning and end up depressed because when they seek medical help they are diagnosed as depressive. Blood tests cannot produce results because by the time the patient arrives at the GP surgery blood chemicals will be in a normal range, and doctors often dismiss tiredness as not a serious condition.

Between 18 and my 30s I regularly slept until the very late morning or early afternoon, except for when I had a morning appointment. I was self employed and it made life miserable, as when I woke up I felt as if I had been drugged and it took along time to be able to function. Then a psychiatrist put me on a course of mono amino oxidase inhibitors. The results were spectacular;I began waking up at 7am and now at age 69 I have never relapsed although I am not a "morning person".

What would regular sleep be like? 7-8 mainly uninterrupted hours in my own bed night after night, what is this crazy idea? How much better would I function? What witchcraft would be needed to even attempt such a thing? #SleepProblems #Sleep
