Somewhat odd sleeping disorder ruining my life - Sleep Disorders Message Board

I have a sleeping disorder ruining my life:

1) When I go to sleep late, like at 2 AM, I sleep the normal, sound 7 or 7.5 hours.

2) When I go to sleep earlier, like let's say 11 PM, I sleep for about 1-3 hours and then awaken with the following symptoms:

- feeling of heat in my body

- aggravated emotions, something similiar to anger

- something like severe impatience

I think it is interesting that these symptoms happen if I go to sleep earlier, but do not happen if I go to sleep at 2 AM.

Unfortunately this problem ruins my professional life... any ideas what to do?

Welcome to the boards!

Are you taking any prescription or over the counter medication that may be causing these problems?? That would be the first place I'd start. If not, see your primary for a good check up...if s/he can't find anything obvious I would suggest requesting a referral to a board certifed sleep specialist.

Good luck!
