When I have to wake up for work, I'm usually more tired than usual. Even though I enjoy my job. I can't sleep late though, even on weekends. The latest I've ever woken up has been 9:30am, and that's after being up until 3-4am. But I've always woken up early. My brother though, he can sleep all day. Yesterday he fell asleep at 1am, woke up at 4am, fell back asleep at 10am and then finally 'woke up' at 5pm. I'm guessing he didn't sleep last night.

I can sleep for more than 24 hours sometimes. I just can't wake up. I go to bed and it's 11pm on Friday, I wake up and it's 4am on Sunday.

I've always been like this. I have a weird problem in that I wake up 20 times per night. I have really vivid dreams and they kind of shock me into waking up. Sometimes I'm so tired that I literally almost collapse from exhaustion when I wake up and turn off the alarm clock.

Anyone else feel like this, or is it just me?

More tired than when you went to sleep and you wake up 20 times per night... does this happen no matter where you sleep or just on your bed at home? If it's just on your bed, maybe you need a new mattress.
