Headed into the courtroom tomorrow for truancy...

God · Post by **God** » Wed Apr 07, 2004 5:24 am

Tomorrow at about 1:00PM or something, I'm schedules to be in court, involving truancy. I've been having alot of problems getting up in the mornings for school. I think something is seriously wrong. Everyone else seems to think I'm lazy and I just don't care.

I do care. I'm not lazy. I actually like the idea of being at school and getting my work done, and having the feeling at the end of the day that lets you think to yourself "Ah, that wasn't so bad.." I just literally cannot get up.. I've tried alarms.. My mom claims to wake me up every morning, but I'm not conscious enough to think about what I'm doing to be able to get up out of the bed.

I haven't been on time for school in weeks, but when I do get up, I get a shower and head right to school.. Even if I only make it for a couple of hours a day, to me, that's better than nothing.

I'm on schedule not to graduate on time with the rest of my class. I feel like such an idiot. I'm trying my best, but It's not even good enough for me.

Does anyone know what they do your first time in court for this? My brother either got a warning, or some sort of discipline from the law. Also, if anyone knows of anything that might help me get up in the mornings, I'd appreciate it. I'm not awake enough to make decisions, and my mom says I swing at her in my sleep. I feel bad.

my friend has this problem, and insists its near impossible to get out of bed anytime before 14:00.

i smoke pot to help me sleep before i go to bed as im a total insomniac, however i do find it makes it a hell of a lot harder to get up in the morning.

I've never had issues getting up in the morning. As a matter of fact, I have problems with getting up too early. It is 4:20 am right now, just toked up - mind you, in this case I simply haven't gone to bed yet.

lol nothin beats stayin up all night now and again I suggest you got to bed a lot earlier say about 9ish 10ish for a week or 2 and even if your not sleepy just lie there in quiet contemplation about things, read a book or something and just drift off even if you dont sleep your body is still getting rest and this could help?

i've gone through phases like that....i used to lie awake at night and strees about the direction my life was taking. i am over it now but i've always been a hell insomniac and starting work at 6 in the morning when its still dark doesn't help much

That's pretty weird. I would imagine the best thing to do would be basically what $tu said, lay down and try to sleep as best you can, and even if you're not asleep, your body is still resting. Eventually your body will get more used to falling asleep earlier, and therefore waking up earlier. If that doesn't work, I don't know what will. Maybe your mom should pump coffee into you while you sleep

no.

narcolepsia is when you fall asleep randomly, whenever your body decides to. you dont get tired; you just drop and fall right asleep.

this sounds more like a symptom of anotehr disease.. people with diabetes often get very tired..

aids patients too..

and anyone who has a blood deficiancy... mainly a low iron count called Iron Deficiency Anemia

Did you even research that, or did you just assume that you knew exactly what it was because you saw it in a movie? Considering the following, I'd guess the latter:

"The main symptoms of narcolepsy are excessive daytime sleepiness and abnormal REM sleep."

no, i didnt research it and no i didnt see it in a movie. i learned it in school, and excessive daytime sleepiness is one of the symptoms, but it is also characterized by being overcome with sleep; passing out, usually for only 5 minutes of less, but it happens randomly.

dont argue with me, i know what im talking about.
