pinkygreen Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Hi my son has always had trouble getting up, he is now nearly 21, 3 alarm clocks phones everthing but it just dosn't even disturb him. The wind up alarm clock gose of and winds down before he even notices, the door alarm nothing wakes him up. I have to go and shout 5 ten times then he drops back to sleep, he is on last warning at job. Is he just lazy or maybe health issue !!! Anyone same / or solved the problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissMonkey Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Has he always been like this? I struggle to get myself up in the morning, only tends to be in the winter though when it's still dark . Does he go to sleep early? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxofe Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 i'm not being funny, but, does he have an Xbox/PC/or similar in his room? perhaps he is playing games/chatting 'til the early hours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthernStar Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 I'm 43 and still suffer from this, hopefully he'll find himself a decent woman who'll literally kick him out of the pit on a morning or he'll need a very understanding employer who'll let him make up the hours. Does he snore and wake himself up or wake up regularly for other reasons if so the doctor might be able to help. It really ought not to be your problem, he's 21 years old for crying out loud, just leave him to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunni Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 A big jug of ice cold water thrown over him will do the job! But honestley he is 21 years old, leave him to it, if it means he loses his job, well ..it's a lesson learned! Stop over mothering him and make him responsible for getting himself up.

Frenchie9920 Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 I used to know someone like this. He couldn't hold a job down because of it. He ended up getting a job working nights and it the problem was solved! He's never looked back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlimRick Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 I know of someone who suffers from this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleep_apnea Very common, and because of constantly disturbed sleep it's really difficult to wake up and function during the day without nodding off.
