As the title says, I like to be able to sleep several hours a day. Whenever I'm feeling bad, I go to sleep and then, when I wake up, I feel a little better, but never 100%. However, I can't sleep all the time, because I have tasks and things to do, but whenever I have the opportunity, I sleep most of the time, because that way I forget about my problems temporarily.

Is there anyone else like this ? Just out of curiosity.

I don't like sunlight, or being able to see any of my surroundings, as it reminds me that I'm still conscious, so I sleep all day to avoid the light that come in from my window, or under the door. I find my only peace in life by either sleeping generally, or avoiding human to human communication, and staying in my darkroom listening to music by myself. It's Freeing, It's The Only Control I Really Have Over This Life I Was Forced To Endure.

I can relate, actually I sleep from 7am to 5pm, I spend the night reading or watching/listening media.

I suffer from anxiety and depression, avoiding most of the day allows me to live the rest of my time in relative peace.

Of course a big part of it involves avoiding other people, unless strictly necessary.

The unconsciousness of sleep is by far my preferred part of the day.

I might stay in bed more if I could actually sleep more. But I just lie there awake, drowning in my thoughts -- very annoying -- so I find it better to get up (stay up) and distract/dissociate my way through the day instead.

I don't like sunlight, or being able to see any of my surroundings, as it reminds me that I'm still conscious ... avoid the light that come in from my window, or under the door.
Ahh, another vampire among us! Me too!!

I love sleeping aswell. Unfortunately, unlike you, I'm normally not capable of sleeping during the day. When I was a teenager though, I did, I would sleep all day and be awake during the night, avoiding bad stuff and seeking peace, quietness and safety.
Now I will sleep as long as I can and go back to sleep as much as I can after waking. It's an immense relief to fall asleep, and when I wake up, I feel that for a few minutes, until the brain clears up and all my shit returns.
I can usually manage to get 10-12 hours, unless the meds fail, then I may not sleep at all.

I cheer for those of you who are able to fall asleep whenever, wherever. That would be an incredibly precious thing for me.
Wanting to sleep all the time and wanting to be dead are sometimes closely related.

I would love to be physically able to sleep all day, but my anxiety doesnt let me. Such a pain. But sleep is the closest escape tbh.

Yes 100%. I saw a quote once that said sleep is like death without the commitment and that's pretty much how I feel about it, I get a temporary escape from life

I used to be sleepless, but now that I'm on mianserine and amisulpride (it's been a week and a half), I sleep pretty much all day, and I'm perfectly fine with it.

I'm just like a bear. Sometimes I don't get out of bed except for meals. I think this is the easiest way to deal with depression

It physically hurts me to sleep for more than about six hours straight. I end up getting out of bed for an hour or so before getting another six hours of sleep. Rinse and repeat.

One of the best things in life definitely. I love to just drift off and leave my problems into this world. Sometimes I get infuriated to wake up to all the BS again. Sleeping is much better than sex, for example. I feel it's too underrated. I'm addicted to naps, usually I nap for 2 hours every day, and if my anxiety let me I'd probably sleep a lot more

Recently I've been feeling near constant unending anxiety and fear and feelings of guilt/sadness, sometimes literally the only reprieve I feel is when I'm sleeping, when I can literally feel the anxiety and depression seep back in the seconds after I wake up. Yeah I do like to sleep lol

I am a big fan of sleep. Unfortunately, I find it extremely elusive - even with strong prescription meds meant to help me sleep. The ratio of sleep to awake time is super skewed in modern culture. We could all use a bit more.

I love sleeping. I have some health issues that make sleeping difficult tho, which is why I miss being able to get a good nights sleep. Sleep as much as you can. Your body knows intuitively that it needs a particular no. of hours to recharge. Sleep is the one thing I dont regret doing. If I hadn't slept enough while dealing with some major life problems, all that stress would have come out in the form of cancer or degenerative diseases.

Whenever I can sleep till midday or something I always woke up in a better mood because I know the day would be over faster. Sleeping is literally a skip time machine that cuts down the time I need to spend suffering awake. I can't suffer while asleep, it's good. I don't have to think, I don't have to do anything, just not existing for hours and sometimes having a dream. I was so traumatised that I managed to overcome nightmares. My life already is a nightmare, what could go worse in a dream?

Sleeping is like my drug of choice, that's why I postpone it during nighttime as much as possible to sleep away all the morning because starting a brand new day is dreadful and exhausting, I just don't want "tomorrow" to come so staying up and then sleeping as much as I can and not feel conscious about my existence delays that

Wish I could, sleeping is the closest to not existing after all so of course I'd wish to sleep but only permanent sleep could bring me true relief, I just wish to be unconscious of the terrible cruelty and pain of existing, simply being awake is so dreadful to me and just causes me to suffer.
