Hi, Guest!
I have this sleeping problem too. It is my escape. I like it because I usually don't worry when I'm sleeping. I noticed that when my life gets very frantic or hectic I sleep more. I don't want to sleeping to disrupt my life. What happens if I'm a father and I have a fight with my adolescent son? Am I just going to sleep through my whole fatherhood? I can't. I won't. Or if I have a bad week at work, am I going to sleep away all my free time and then go to work. See, that's kinda like my problem. I don't do other things that I think will make me feel better (like guitar or singing). Instead, I will sleep...and when I get up, I feel disgusted with myself for being a lazy slob." It is a bad cycle of depression. Usually, I try to do something constructive or fun (that will take my mind off my troubles for a little while) before I go to sleep. I usually feel better and sleep sounder that I atleast done something. However, I'm not perfect. I slip sometimes.
