I pretty much just found out about DSPS this morning, (ironically while reading an encyclopedia because I couldn’t sleep). Since before i started high school I couldn’t sleep at night and had the most horrible time waking up in the morning, affected my grades a lot, too. Then, in college I would miss weeks of class at a time because I could not force myself to wake up even with multiple alarms and then at night I could not sleep so I would spend the time doing work that I would never get a chance to turn in because I missed class, which was horrible. I was labeled as a slacker by most of the faculty, and I was able to save my schooling by taking night classes during the summer and home classes during the year while taking a minimum on campus (and missing most the morning ones). Eventually graduating on too long ago, it would have been a lot easier if I had known sooner.

Still its good to know. :)

  • my boyfriend? - by Sarah - (Mon, Oct 08 2007)
    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. [more..]

    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..]
