Do any of you have weird days on weekends, or other days you sleep later or stay up later than during the work week? I am very ritualistic about my sleep schedule (ok, OCD perhaps). I like to be in bed by 9:30 as I have to get up at 5:30 M-F. The rub comes on Sat. when I feel like sleeping in, but actually feel "guilty" staying in bed. Perhaps that is not the right emotion, maybe fearful. You see, when I have had panic attacks, with one exception, they have come on times I have had to vary my sleep schedule, or chose to sleep in. Is it possible to have that tight a circadian rhythm? As I never get more than 5 hours of sleep a night during the week (wake at 12, 3, 4, 5 and then get up at 5:30) I feel tired, and WANT to sleep in on Sat. Any thoughts or anyone with similar problems?
