Can a person be tired of sleeping?
You've stumbled across my official website and landed on the front page of my weblog.
My name is Rosina Lippi. I'm a former academic and tenured university professor, writing full time since 2000. Under the pen name Sara Donati I am the author of the Wilderness series, six historical novels that follow the fortunes of a group of families living in upstate New York from about 1792-1825. A new series based on later generations of the same families was launched September 1, 2015 with The Gilded Hour. The next volume in the new series, Where the Light Enters, was released in 2019.
Please see the pinned post for an overview of what you'll find on this weblog, and what has been moved to the wiki (including the FAQ page).
Wise Guys
If you are in difficulties with a book, try the element of surprise: attack it at an hour when it isn’t expecting it.

Yes
I totally agree, Wolfy. YES.
If you’re not, check your meds.
Not while they’re sleeping? I’ve been tired of dreaming a particular dream before and woken from that. But I’m never conscious while I’m sleeping, and I think you have to be conscious of something to be tired of it. Enough of this doodling!
I “hibernated” a whole winter when I was in my late teens, one day I just decided I was “tired of sleeping”, also my roomies”get outa bed ya lazy bum!!” and simular comments were getting tiresome.
I get tired of my recurring grocery shopping dreams. Nothing happens in them, they’re just repeats of my weekly trip to the store. Well, sometimes I’m only in my pajamas, but that’s it. If I’m going to waste five perfectly good hours sleeping, I want Robert Jarvik to chase me around the produce section and pelt me with the aphrodisiac version of Lipitor or something.
There are some side effects with hypersomnia — sleeping more than ten hours a day — that can make you feel tired, irritable, anxious and unable to focus well. So if you sleep too much, you can *physically* get tired of it.
Personally, if it was possible I wouldn’t sleep at all. Which is wierd because I used ta really enjoy it, now it just sucks up all my free time :( I’m guessin I have less free time then I used to, that’s probably it. Speakin of which, should probably get a few hours sleep before work *sigh* po’ me :P
I would love to be tired of sleeping instead I’m tired of trying to sleep.
