Help This Night Owl

[Seru]

hi i suffer from some kind of strange disorder and i need help

ever since being a baby i would stay awake all night and sleep through the day
as i got older it only got worse
in high school i would go to bed at 4 in the morning
and when i got to school i would sleep through the first 5 periods of class like a log, they even called the ambulance once cuz no matter how hard they tried i wouldnt wake up. this happened every day.

as i became a grown man it became increasingly difficult
i couldnt wake up to go to job interviews, and when i did get a job
when it was time to go to work, i couldnt make it out of the bed in the morning.
so i got fired.

i was thinking about taking night classes and working a security job.

my problem is. that no matter how hard i try.i cant stay awake during the daylight hours. even when i go to bed early, when i wake up in the morning i feel extremely lethargic and dead. and forget about daylight. when i go outside into the sunlight my eyes burn, i get an instant fever, and i feel like im gonna drop dead, daylight makes me really sick. My wife thinks i am crazy.

i am eastern european and i have heard that this condition happens to eastern europeans more than anywhere else. it doesnt have a name though
i went to the doctors here, damn americans told me to take sleeping pills and they told me it was probably due to mental illness. there shit didnt work.

i think it is genetic, i have several family members who suffer from this, and they all have no jobs.

so i am roam around outside at night, and sleep the day away.


Any suggestions for help guys, or clues as to what this might be?

I have this same fucking problem and i hate it.
Coffee and melatonin/sleeping pills are your best friend.
along with night shifts, and 24 hour wal-marts.

It's a mental clock. For me i get sleepy only when the sunrises. and usually wake up by 7-9pm. I'm also an insomniac and usually stay awake for days so my mind and body have grown accustom that no matter what i will be very very sleepy when sunrise and the am comes. It's simply a mental clock regulating a schedule.


Just work at all nite diners , Security , warehouse (which is very well since unions are involved), be a cop idk

if OP is a human: If you've got the $$ maybe go to a specialist and get yer cranial cavity scanned, they might find out something useful... and regardless of how much money you have, go to a doctor and try to get an adderall/dexamp/desoxyn? script, amps will do a shitload of help for someone in your situation.

If OP's a vampire, i suggest you stay the fuck away from my house, lest ya accidentally set off one of my holywater and garlic landmines.

Just give into it.
There's plenty of decent jobs that don't require you to start in the morning.
Especially think medical careers where skilled people are needed 24 hours a day, like in a hospital, where you can choose your shift (and most others want the early shift).
Education is available in the afternoons and night, also.
