sleep way too much

I’ve honestly considered saying im depressed but I dont like even hearing that..I dont go out that much just here and there..but no often at all. My boyfriend comes home at 5pm so thats the reason I get up at that time and I force myself to stay up just to spend time with him but end up falling asleep an hour or two later. The whole sleep issue is taking a toll on my relationship and I know that makes me sad and almost hate myself..I’ve noticed weigh gain also but to be honest I dont even eat a lot so I dont get why it just sticks with me.

Your Circadian Rhythm is messed up by the sounds of it. Humans are designed to sleep during the night and function during the day- ‘night workers’ are known to require more sleep because the quality of sleep they get during the day is not as good as if they were able to sleep at night.

Is it possible you’re depressed?- That’s ANOTHER symptom associated with working nights. The lack of sunlight in your life is probably causing you to be a bit depressed. Do you get out much? I know it was hard for me to hang out with my friends because they worked days- so I was lonely.
