So I think I suffer from DSPS (13)

..Or Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome.

Wikipedia article here; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delayed_Sleep_Phase_Syndrome

Of course, all I really know about it is from that article, and it could be falsehood, so I plan on..checking with a doctor or somethin'. Whatever.

I get moments at night where I get really sleepy, curl up in bed for 5 minutes, and then get up and I'm pretty much alert for a while, sometimes repeating that several times a night. This only seems to happen when I'm at home as well; never when I'm out.

Maybe its because I love my bed? I dunno.

How old are you? I was diagnosed with this. but it's pretty much not a problem now that I'm in college. I just don't take classes before 10 AM.

Me? I'm 20.

Actually, 'suffering' was a wrong term. I live with it. (I love the night life~ I love to boogie!~ )

I have this. It seems to be very common among geeky types. Go figure. My doctor's recommendation? Get up at 7 AM every weekday morning and walk my partner to the train in the nice sunshine. Ugh.......

This is getting me thinking.

Is DSPS really all that bad? There's plenty of things to do at night! Like..eer..well....

Oh screw it; I haven't seen a doctor about it yet, because I'm so used to it. It's been happening for as long as I can remember!

>>6 I don't have the mental endurance for such a sleep schedule! o_O

No. Jobs and classes that make you get up that early are for tools, anyway. Also probably the only ones available, but what do I care?

let me neet!

Hear, hear!

I don't get neet people. Perhaps they live off their parents, but after they're dead, do they live off welfare?

Ever heard of a will? Neet have everything figured out. >; )

Inheriting the family debt sounds like great fun.
