Sometimes I can be fine with a few hours, but other time I can sleep for 10 hours+ on fairly similar schedules. Does our body not control the time we sleep and why can it vary so much?

i’m fairly sure for most people it is a lot more regular than that. i have this problem as well but i’m fairly sure we are the exception and not the rule. basically there is just something wrong with the way our body’s regulate sleep and wake. it could be a variety of things since there are a variety of factors that influence sleep. it could be that you are not exposed to enough natural light, it could be something chemical in the way you body releases melatonin, it could be that your physical activity varies wildly from day to day or one of the many of factors that i am probably not thinking of. hope this helps. i’m not a medical professional, this is mostly based on my personal observations and the occasional minor research into the topic. i’ve been meaning to talk to a professional about but i worry their just going to lecture me about sleep hygiene and send me off with very little help and a massive bill so i haven’t done it yet.
