This is not sleep disorder. You sleep from 5 or 6 am till 5 pm!!! You sleep 12 hours a day! That’s not sleep disorder for sure! You already sleep too much, as much as a four year old baby!

And of course, when you wake up in the afternoon, you can’t feel sleepy at night!

Solution is not in going to bed earlier, but waking up earlier. You wake up one hour earlier every day. Never mind if you still go to bed at the same time the first few days, but soon, after shifting your wake up time, the sleep time will follow.

So today, what time did you wake up? Wake up one hour earlier tomorrow, and another hour earlier the following day, .. keep doing this no matter what. Till your sleeping time get fixed. Then, you only need 8 hours of sleep, and perhaps 9 in weekends.

You also need to have a healthy breakfast, and a light dinner. This also helps reorganizing your biological clock.
