my boyfriend?

After reading some of these stoires i think my boyfriend may have this disorder but i’m not sure. We have been together for 9 years nad i have always gotten upset by his sleep habits and lack of motivation in the morning. He never can go bed to bed at a decent hour, he says he is not tired but then in the morning it is nearly impossible to wake him up. I can be screaming at him and he will not budge when he finally does he is incoherant for liek 20 minutes barely making any sense and then he will fall back asleep for half the day if no one wakes him up again. Everyone of our friends and family mentions this and gets mad because he has lost several jobs for being late and i take our baby to family to be watched even though he is home because i am afraid he just won’t wake up. Do people who have this disorder sleep extremly heavily when they do sleep, because he seems almost comatose. I would appreciate some insight on this. Thank you

    I’ll be 70 next week, and have had this all my life–I can still remember being spanked, even before kindergarten age, because I made too much noise at night when I couldn’t go to sleep. [more..]
