So, I think I have DSPS. I've done some reading on it to see if it was an actual condition or if I was just trying to stay awake for too long and then would get a rush of adrenaline, and then stay awake even longer (which I think is what happens, but I'm probably wrong) and have since gotten used to it. Like, on a normal basis, I'll be fine to stay up for like 24 to 35 hours, sometimes almost two days, before I get tired and fall asleep, and then when I do get to sleep I don't want to get up so I have to set a bunch of alarm clocks that go off at the same time (and recently I've had to change the noise they make because they don't wake me up anymore). And it's becoming an issue because I have to start getting up by eight for school, so I can't do this thing where I'm I keep changing my schedule and just go with it anymore. Like already, I've been up almost 20 hours, and I tried to fall asleep a while ago and just laid for four hours, then got bored and got up.
I don't really want to go to a doctor unless it's treatable with something, but I can't imagine I'd need a prescription for anything and I also don't want to pay a bunch of money like I did last time and get nothing useful from it (I've had back trouble for a couple years and I was told to take more Advil than I had been and come back if it hurt still in a few months, after almost a year, and I didn't even figure out what was wrong with me). Like I read about a light machine or something that I can get and look at it for a while in the morning that's supposed to help? Is that true? I don't want to take sleeping medication really, but if that's what I need to do so I can go to school normally I will. It's just getting inconvenient, and people are starting to notice that I'm out doing stuff at ungodly hours and they don't like it.
