After completing my Biochemistry project on 'Sleep', i realise i might just have a sleep disorder. All my symtoms fit the description of the disorder word for word. -.-

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delayed_sleep_phase_syndrome

People with the disorder report that they cannot sleep until early morning, but they fall asleep at about the same time every "night", no matter what time they go to bed.

I sleep at 4 or 5am just about everyday even though i've to wake up for school at 6 or 7am. And then the next day i still sleep at the same time despite sleeping only 2 hours the previous night.

If, however, they are allowed to follow their own schedule, e.g. sleeping from 4 a.m. to noon, they sleep soundly, awaken spontaneously, and do not feel sleepy again until their next "night".

VERY TRUE.

DSPS patients can sleep well and regularly when they can follow their own sleep schedule, e.g. on weekends and during vacations.

Often, sufferers manage only a few hours sleep a night during the working week, then compensate by sleeping until the afternoon on weekends. Sleeping in on weekends, and/or taking long naps during the day, may give people with the disorder relief from daytime sleepiness but may also perpetuate the late sleep phase.

Does 2 hours of sleep on weekdays and >12 hours on weekends count?

People with DSPS tend to be extreme night owls. They feel most alert and say they function best and are most creative in the evening and at night.

:O

They often have asked family members to help wake them in the morning, or they have used several alarm clocks.

I know for a fact my mom always complains it's hard to get me out of bed. Once, i only woke up 2 hours after she started calling me! And yea, 3 alarms clocks don't work on me because i shut them up all at a go and go back to sleep. >;/

At least i'm still capable of sleeping peacefully, ne? I think the other kinds of sleep disorder sufferers have it worse.

& many loves to Woon Ching & Shihui for helping me to fill up my organic chemistry lectures notes! I kept dozing off unintentionally during lecture.. (˚д˚)

CHARMAINE CHEONG.

I’m a somebody and a nobody. I’m rational and emotional. I’m critical but I’m non-judgemental.

I like my things categorized by types and chronologically. I like taking photos to preserve the moments of my life. I like dystopian literature. I like reading Wikipedia articles at random. I like travelling to foreign lands and seeing the world. I like long conversations over good food. I like pop and classical music. I like guitars. I like cats. I like writing random, mushy letters and notes to the people important to me. I have a whole long list of things that I like, but you’ve got to get to know me better to know them all.
