I usually sleep 11+ hour a day when i can. That is usually 1 or 2 times a week. I get waked up by my parents round 11:00am because i just have to. Their excuse for not letting me sleep any longer is that it is lunch soon. I sleep 6 hours or less during school days because i don't get tired until midnight.

The reason i just want to sleep is that i can't see any reason to wake up at all. I have nothing to do exept gaming, i have no job, exept school, and my hobbys are getting all boring. I'm not going to complain, but my school is the most boring school i've ever been to, nothing to look forward to, low technological progress, extremely warm and plain boring.

My social life (if i had one), my spare time and everything else i do is just so monotone. Nothing happens to me that is encouraging me to wake up and sieze the day that i just lay down in my bed for as long as i can so that it's not long until i can sleep again. ( I don't sleep during the day. Naps don't work for me, i just get tired)

If you could give me some advice and tell me if it's normal i would appreciate it :) (Don't just say: you have to look at the positive things in life. It doesn't work, i've tried, and i can't look it because i lost it.)

    Sounds like you're still pretty young, and normal for me as well.. I love sleep, for awhile it was one of my hobbies. I had a whole other reality waiting for me there.. Eventually I did realize its unhealthy, I have a job and a car and in university full time now, really just an attempt to keep from fading out of reality, but I still like to dream more than anything else.

    Honestly it sounds like your depressed. I've been there before. I was in high school and felt like nothing was interesting anymore. I didn't feel like the friends I had cared about me. I didn't have a job. I went to school but I didn't feel like I had anything going for me. I knew what I needed to do. Get involved. Find someone that interested me. But like you, I had no motivation. It got to the point where I was suicidal. I really can't tell you what changed but one day I just told myself it all needed to stop. It wasn't a quick process. When I finally got a job I felt like I had purpose, I gained a lot of confidence and I started working out everyday. After those two things. I felt amazing. Such a difference. That would be my advice. Try to get a job. Or go run a mile everyday. Or both

    Thanks for the replies! :) The problem is that i know what to do, but don't have the willpower to change myself. It just goes back to the state it was before. I have tried to force myself, even write it down and hang it up in plain sight for me to see what i should do. It just ends with the note in the garbage because i can't stay with a schedule for more than max 2 weeks. I can wake up by jumping out of bed to turn off a horrible sound i have as an alarm sound.

    Yes DubstepismyMJ, i am young, it's bothering me anyways and i don't want it to be like this. The problem is my willpower which doesn't exist.

    You cant expect life to come to you. If you choose to do nothing but play vid games, about your hobbies, social life and boredom, what do you think will happen?

    If you want something encouraging for you to "wake up and seize the day" then go find it. Noones gonna do that for you.
