Anyone else’s sleep time extended lately??

I’m going through like body Crisis/ trauma and so much stress. And I also think maybe during eclipse season my sleep and mania gets worse. The other day I had to pull an all nighter and all dayer because I had to go to the ER to get x rays and pain meds for my injuries. Didn’t sleep for over 24 hours. And it’s fucked up my whole week. It’s 10:15 am and I haven’t gone to sleep yet. How the fuck am I supposed to get my sleep time back to 7 am. This is fucking INSANE!!! I’m so upset and angry. I’m sleeping all day now until after 430 or 5 pm!! It’s absolutely insane. I miss being able to get some sun. I feel completely fucked. And I know I need to rest more since I’m exhausted from my injuries but then why the fuck can’t I get to sleep until after 10 am????? When is this going to get better ?? I’m so fucking helplesss and hopeless. This summer is going to be horrible if I am just never able to wake up before 2 pm and get sun by the pool which is my fave thing to do in the summer . This fucking sucks I feel so useless

Going through one of these phases right now from stress as well. It's no fun. For people on a normal schedule they "sleep in" until 11 or noon and still have half a day, but for us it's a devastating blow to our personal/social time. Here to commiserate, OP and others!

I sleep thru my whole weekend and then have FOMO and stay up too late on work nights trying to make up for it. Being timeblind also really doesn't help. I didn't realize I was up till 445am the other night listening to an audio book. I thought it was maybe 2am.

I actually need to get off of here (Reddit) now because it's after midnight and I haven't eaten dinner, and have to get up at 515am. If I don't leave now, I'll get zero sleep tonight (or maybe an hour.)
