Question by dude: Would this be a sleeping disorder? I can't ever sleep during normal sleeping hours. And then I'm tired during the day. What should I do to get a normal sleeping schedule?

Hey. Yes, this does sound like a sleeping disorder. You should see your local GP but for the time being here are some tips... Try to stay quite still when you sleep (fidgeting makes it much worse). Also eating just before you sleep is bad because your body concentrates its energy on digesting the food and not on trying to get to sleep. Coffee is the worst thing you can ingest before sleeping as it will keep you up for a seriously long time.I find that reading tires out my eyes, so I do that if I'm having trouble sleeping. Trying to get to sleep in a dark or semi-dark room is very good, never try to fall asleep in a fully lighted room. If your tired in the afternoons I find that holding out (refraining from sleeping) until around 6pm then having a shower will keep you up until around 11pm, and then you should doze off quite easily. Off coarse none of these things are a guarantee, but I find they help. I hope this helps you!
