I realized that I'm a psi about three months ago. Since then, I've been trying to feed somewhat regularly, when ever I'm in a large crowd. The only problem now is, I'm becoming incresingly nocturnal. I feel miserably tired all day, and then when 11 pm rolls along, I'm awake and energetic . . . too bad I live in a high school dorm and lights out is at 11. Does anyone know of anything that might help with this? All of my important classes are in the morning and my grades are suffering because of this.

Hello and Welcome to Darkness forums firstly.

As for your question on how to deal with noctournal habits. Try to incorporate it as much as you can. Sleep as much as you can in the day for now and then slowly start forcing yourself to sleep in the night time even if you are well rested. If you used to go to bed at 8 p.m. at night and now you go to bed at 12:00am try to go to bed earlier and vice versa.

I hope that wasn't confusing.

If I recall right, the light level has a lot to do with sleeping patterns too. Make your days bright and your nights dark, and make sure you get sunlight exposure. Lack of sunlight can have damaging effects too, there are for instance scientific research pointing towards an increase of depression during the dark months of winter.

I would also recommend investing in a couple of full spectrum light bulbs if you can't get out during the day.

I'm a little confused. I personally feel that what is making me feel tired during the day IS the sunlight, and that when it gets dark and cool outside that's when I feel the most energetic. So, how would buying lights or going outside more often help? The sunlight is the issue for me. Also, I didn't mention it earlier, but I rarely stay late on purpose. Most of my life I've gone to bed at 9:30 or 10, and woken up at 6 or 7. I didn't start having this problem untill I became an active vamp.

When you say active Vamp do you mean that you have started feeding?

And even though it seems as though the sun is weakening you, it would help if you exposed yourself a little bit more to it because as of now you have no choice but to try to endure it for now becuase you are still in high school.

More exposure will help you with your endurance.

And can you say what exactly happens when you expose yourself to sunlight? Is it just physical weakness?

The nocturnal habbits may just be something every other person in high school does :)
what I did to control it was sleeping only 2hrs a day for about 1month (coz I went to bed at 5am and had to go to school at 7am) and then I was so drained of energy that for a few days I couldn't stay up longer than midnight, so gradually midnight became the time at which I get sleepy :)

as for staying awake during the day, try to feed with psi from each and everyone arround you, it gives you a sudden boost of energy so you are good for about an hour after which you feed again :D
worked for me atleast :)

Ok, let me try to be a little more specific. By "active" I mean that I'm going thru awakening now, so I'm still ina learning process. Sunlight is an issue, but the main issue that I need to resolve it that I feel exausted all day at school and don't really become fully alert untill night time. When I go outside, I just feel really sluggish and drowsy, moreso than I do in general durning the day. My psi abilities become almost non existant as well.
