For years i have had trouble sleeping. Tired in the daytime yes extreamly active at night. I always had trouble at school with concentration yet got high marks in my homework, which i would often start at 2am. My sleep issues caused me to fail exams, miss college and even loose out on going to university. I have had trouble securing jobs or driving because my concentration is a mess during the day. People often say i have no focus, i lack motivation and im lazy.
I feel more alive during the night time, often sketching, learning or going out jogging when everyone else is asleep.

After hearing about dsps from a friend i tried to get my family to read up on it but they simply dissmissed it as my laziness, saying such a condition cannot possibly exist and that it is just me making up excuses. My girlfriend of 3 years recently left me without giving a real reason. (although i know its because i am "lazy and unmotivated")

no matter what i try i cannot sleep before 4am and if i try to force myself to sleep during "normal" hours then i cannot sleep all night. My family has taken to shutting off power to my room, locking doors so i cannot go out at night and trying to force me into their regimes. I just don't know what to do anymore. I am beggining to hate myself anytime i hear the words lazy and unmotivated. Has anybody else here been in a simmilar situation? and if so how did you cope with it?

Does anybody have tips on getting family members to read up on dsps instead of just tearing up the information sheets?
