How do you escape life from sleeping?
you could sleep for 24 hours and it wouldn't feel like a second

this thread doesn't suck
actually, at the roughest point in my life, I tried very hard to use diphenhydramine to knock me out, to use sleep as an escape, until time healed my wounds
I definitely don't think it can be done 24/7... and I think I had lots of nightmares during that time.
At the time, sleep did feel better than awake, but in the end, there was a very difficult lesson I had to learn.
When dealing with rough spots like that, I felt it might not be such a weakness to want to sleep it off, or take some xanax until the stress didn't feel so urgent...
but had I kept trying to merely escape or dull it down, I never would have learned that it was all ME allowing myself to feel that way,
I can't say that time didn't play a large part in healing my wounds,
but it was learning how to accept what is, and how to deal with such feelings, that made me so much stronger of a person

Oversleeping is a common sign of depression, which could be a subconscious way for your mind to deal with stress.

it might not be a subconscious way of dealing with stress
it is the depression (just think about the word) that causes your body to shut down, and vice versa
people who oversleep due to depression would probably feel a good bit better if they were more active. good diet and exercise removes a lot of that stress on its own

i over sleep and do a lot of opiates, i haven't done anything social since my summer started, and i reject parties for sitting alone at home doing opiates and then laying around all day. except for my part time job and my painting job, i dont do shit. sometimes sleeping just feels so good..i do it a lot when im not on opiates..

I think it's pretty crazy how when you're in that state.. when you have to wake up, but you're sorta asleep, not quite awake, and the real world just does not matter. You're gonna be late for school/work/job interview, but nothing like that matters in your little dream world. Hit the snooze.
It always comes back to bite you, but in that space, your dream is your reality and it's better than all that other stuff.
