The hot weather was really more than my body could stand. I work in an office. The boss refuses to turn on the air conditioning under 79. When I tried to tell him that the heat beating in the windows coupled with the energy heat used to type made the office feel more like 90, he refused to listen. I tried to explain to my boss that if I typed in such hot conditions, I would create more heat by working. He simply didn't want to hear about it and would retreat into his inner office where he kept a humidifier and a ceiling fan.
I decided on my own that if I slept on the couch, I would cool off by not moving a muscle. It worked. The less movement I made, the cooler I felt. Eventually, I think I felt as if my body's surface temperature was 76. My assumptions were right and I did feel better. But, I forgot to set an alarm to wake me up. My boss had a habit of coming out of his office at regular intervals. He came out and found me asleep on the couch. He fired me. I actually lost my job because I was sleeping at work.
The shock of losing my job seemed to do something to my central nervous system. I began to sleep more and more and at all types of places including driving. That situation didn't stop me from getting another job. I found myself working in an air conditioned office with understanding management. There was an employee snack room with all sorts of lovely snacks available. The food was really good. The temperature was perfect for sleeping. I don't know how it happened but after feasting on three slices of chocolate cake and two cups of coffee, I fell asleep on top of my computer. I was caught by the manager and I lost my job because I sleep so much.
I am not sure if anyone sleeps more than me. I just can't seem to get enough sleep. My friends and the majority of my family members think that it is abnormal. They worry that I have some kind of sleeping disorder that hasn't been diagnosed. That's just how much I sleep.
Most people can wait until they get home. I can't. I find myself sleeping at work all the time. That might not be so uncommon, however, because lots of my co-workers are nodding off after lunch. If I was only falling asleep after lunch it wouldn't be such a big deal. My problem is that I sleep in just about every other place that I go.
I am thankful that I'm alert while I'm driving, but that's about the only place where my eyelids aren't heavy. As soon as I get home from work I get in the bed. I don't know why since I sleep in the office daily. It's like I just have to get this 2 or 3 hour nap in before I start doing anything at home.
Some people may not believe it, but I have even fell asleep at a house party. This has happened more than once. I was talking to someone one moment, and the next thing I remember is waking up on a couch. My friends don't even bother to wake me when I do this now. They just let me sleep until I wake up.
I think that many of my friends are envious. They always talk about how tired they are. I never have that complaint because I am always sleeping. I guess I'm just as tired as they are. The difference is that I do sometime about it instead of complaining. I close my eyes and sleep.

It seems that my whole life revolves around other people's sleep schedules. It is absolutely awful because I'm one of them. I can go to bed at 9pm and then get up at 6:00 a.m. and still want to sleep more. So I'm up at 6 o' clock and I can't turn on the TV in the morning because everyone wants to sleep more. I either read the closed captioning or need to sit really close to the TV. The rest of my family has rubbed off on me in this reguard. I'm pretty sure they must have sleep apnea because they are very loud snorers and have funky breathing. There's always a nasal concert going on down the hallway.
If we need to go anywhere, especially in the morning my whole family oversleeps. We're always late to appointments, or anyplace we need to be. If people need to call any of my family, it needs to be after lunchtime. They do not wake up for anything. When I get out of the house to visit grandparents, I can't escape this awful sleep issue either. My grandmother falls asleep mid-conversation. I know it's the medication that she is on, but still can't she pay attention? It's all so frustrating that we can't just be like normal people.
Sometimes I just feel we are odd ones in this family because we all sleep more than 9-10 hours a night. We wake up around noon and then need to take their naps around 3:00. Wake up for dinner and then bed by 9:00 p.m. Not much of a window for being productive. We can all be so lazy sometimes. I try to have a life, but it's hard to invite anyone over or tell them to call me when the threat of waking someone up is always over my head. Hopefully, someday, we'll realize what we are missing out on... life.

There are many things that a guy can do to make their girlfriends mad. One of them is sleeping too much. Girls usually like to have someone to talk to, and when somebody sleeps all the time, it gives the person the idea you are not interested in them or what they have to say. That isn't really true. I mean she will be there when I wake up right?
Apparently not cause she is gone now. I am sorry, but I don''t know what to do about it. I could promise to sleep less, but that would probably be a lie, because since I am now on night shift I have to sleep during the day. She said "I did not value her" but that is just the thing, I do, and she is important to me. Maybe I can take her out to dinner and get her back. I know she likes it when I spend money on her. I mean I don't know what the Hell to do.
I just tune her out when she is trying to talk to me, and maybe that is not the right thing. I did not want her to break up with me. What can I do? What would you do if you were me? Chicks like flowers. Maybe I could get her flowers.
I just hope she talks to me again. Right now she is not answering her phone or taking my texts. This so sucks. What did I do that was so awful? I do really like her, and I had hoped we could be together long term. I am really freaking hurting. Oh what the Hell? dime a dozen. Maybe I should sleep on it. Maybe the answer will come to me in a dream. I can only hope.

I am not sure what is going on with me, but lately I have been sleeping so much. When I was a kid, I was always the last to go to sleep and the first to wake up. I always felt energetic and ready to tackle my day. Now, it seems like a struggle just roll out of bed in the morning!
Even when I go to bed early and sleep until noon the next day, I feel like I have only gotten a few hours of rest. I sit at work and all I can think about is going home and crawling back into my bed. On the weekends, I am asleep almost all day. I feel a bit guilty because it seems like I am wasting my days. Some of my close friends and family have made comments that they do not see me as much anymore. How would they react if I told them that I have been sleeping all the time?
I am not exactly sure why I have been sleeping so much. Maybe it is because of everything going on with the economy, wars, etc. Is my body just depressed? I read somewhere that all of the information that we have access to through the internet and television can sometimes overwhelm the body. Maybe that's it? Too much information?
At first, I was scared that there was something wrong with my health. I made an appointment with my physician but after days of poking around my body and tests he told me that nothing was wrong! I was definitely relieved, but still a little confused. Lately, I have been concentrating on eating right and exercising. I really hope that this will make a difference and help me to get my lazy butt out of bed!
