Is my bf's sleep problem truly insomnia, the way he has "trained" his sleep pattern or his biological clock. He stays up until 4 or 5 am, can easily sleep 12 hours and has a VERY difficult time waking up? This is daily and can really be difficult. HELP!

That's what I thought. I figured it has nothing to do with the time on the clock that someone goes to bed but the amount of time they can sleep once they get there. He uses the word insomnia as an excuse. He stays up until that time playing video games, watching TV or whatever. He is going on 30 and has never held a job a full year, had to leave the Army after only 2 years, and has little motivation to improve the situation. The day my grandmother died (two days after my mother passed) I had to take a cab home from the hospital because he was it was 11 am and he was too tired to drive. I think your probably getting the picture that there is more to this then a sleep disorder! I want to give him the benefit of the doubt but I will be honest I don't know how much more I can do! He gets very nasty when I try to wake him and yet gets just as angry if I let him sleep. I am becoming very lonely and bored because I work and can't keep up that pace. I tried and lost a good job because I was exhausted! I am supporting us and can't allow him to take me down that road again. I now work only part time outside the house and run a small business from home to pay the bills. Is there any hope?

I have cronic insomnia myself and can tell you he doesn't have it its just his sleep patterns from today i have myb only sleep 2 hours in the last 3 days which is pretty good for a change on my account anyways.
