I do that....... and the feeling is kind of like Dane Cook said about waking up late for work, and you haven't even looked at the clock, you just freaking know your late, and you get that upset feeling in your stomache, then you look at the clock and just go crap, my day is ruined.

But I do it every time the heat kicks on, every time a limb hits the window, or a jilted ex texts me. Pretty much every hour on the hour I'm sitting up in bed, gripping a pistol and a mag light.

I attribute this to quitting alcohol and cigarettes cold turkey around Christmas on the same day, and living in a big house by myself.

btw: I am so tired in the mornings that my alarm has trouble waking me up (catch-22 huh?)

I am not doctor. But it sounds like a sleep disorder. I would seriously talk to a doctor. It sounds like you arn't getting enough real sleep. REM(rapid eye movement) sleep its called. thats the stage of sleep where your brain is actually (they think anyways) processing the stuff you did during the day and other stuff.

If you don't get enough REM sleep the brain starts to do weird things and people literally start going crazy. seeing shits thats not there paranoia and other crap. Like snapping awake thinking somethings there. and then not rememebering it.

anyways as i said. im not a doctor. go see one.

I used to do that all the time. I've found that running a fan on low and playing out scenarios in my head is helpful. It gives my mind something to focus on while I get to sleep.

You just have to watch what you are thinking about or this technique can produce some FUNKY dreams (running from the cops, assimilated by the Borg, etc). Gets me to sleep in less than 10 minutes most nights, and I stay out (used to have extreme problems with insomnia).

I still have the problems with hallucinating and paranoia though. Can't ever remember anything either. But that's just the senility setting in.

That's called Lucid Dreaming. You can eventually get where you can control what goes on in your dream because you realize you aren't in reality and you are dreaming. I've read that when you have it to the point in time where you know you are dreaming and you can control it you can do all sorts of stuff like fly and make things appear in front of you in your dream world.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucid_dream

A lucid dream is a dream in which the sleeper is aware that she or he is dreaming. When the dreamer is lucid, she or he can actively participate in and often manipulate the imaginary experiences in the dream environment. Lucid dreams can seem extremely real and vivid depending on a person's level of self-awareness during the lucid dream.

To the OP. White noise (like adsm08 mentions by way of a fan) helps to put you to sleep. Have you been taking any kind of meds lately or drinking more caffeine than normal? Been doing anything like exercising before bed? Getting your body all worked up like that will make it have a harder time winding down to sleep, unless the workout is sex I've read that doing things that slow your mind down like reading a book will help. If you drink tea at all (I know someone is going to laugh) I have a tea you can buy anywhere that I save for this kind of occasion. It's by that one brand Celestial Seasons and it's called Sleepy Time. It's got chamomile and spearmint in it that helps you to relax too. Stress can also keep you from getting a good nights rest. And no, I'm not a doctor, I've just read up on it because I go through this all the time. I also get the stupid leg spasm thing too...

I used to drink this tea that helped me sleep...... it was called a liter of bourbon (yes the whole liter after work). I would actually wake up more rested coming out of a drunk than I do sober.

I'm thinking ny-quil tablets or sleep aids might have the same effect.
