Is it possible to be addicted to sleep? I know most people (especially military) would say no the person is just lazy, so if that is your answer to this question, I've already heard it. I would like to know is there any documented diagnosis of sleep addiction, like sleep is someone's crack, or heroin. I ask this because I think I may be addicted to sleep.
I had a problem a few years ago where I was sleeping all the time. I would go to school and sleep come home and sleep until work and sleep all night. My mom made me go to the doctor and I found out that I had sleep apnea. Which is basically you are asleep but for reasons you might wake up a few seconds here and there and not know it. In my case I went to a sleep lab and was hooked up to all different kinds of machines and had to sleep. The result was that I would wake up like 120 times in a night for a few seconds here and there. Let me ask you this have you been told that you are a loud snorer or make some other noises in your sleep. Also have you had your tonsels taken out in your youth. Because there are a lot of factors that come into play with sleep apnea. In my case I had enlarged tonsols and couln't breath when I layed certain ways. Anyway long story short get checked out by a doctor because you might have a medical condition. Hope this helps a little.
Would being diagnosed with sleep apnea bar you from any schools? I'm terrified of sick call because you never know what might keep you out of Ranger school or the Q course.
Have you ever considered it may be your diet or how much exercise you get? I don't think you can be addicted to sleep. You may just be tired all the time. Ask a doctor. That's the best advice you can get from someone on here.
