Weird Sleep Stuff..help?
Posted: 06-03-05 17:46pm

Hiya there, I seem to have some weird sleeping patterns or something, lemme explain:

if i'm trying to sleep and I overthink it will take me about an hour to sleep, I generally dont have problems getting to sleep but its when I sleep. Whilst sleeping i'm told I do some strange things if awoken. The other day was with my g/f who said she stepped over me and I just sprung up and started picking up belts and waving them about stating 'wait wait'...I have something to do...Wait..." etc,then I fell asleep again (this was 2am)). Then in the morning (7am), I apparently got up, sitting on the mattress and just started swearing really loudly, witha range fo swears, before hitting the pillow again. I got up shortly afterwards but dont' remember any of that nor waking up.

When at home, I wake up alot during the nite but fall asleep rather quickly, as in, I dont remember waking up but I know I have. Then in the morning, when I get up, I walk to my alarm clock, switch it off, go back to bed and dont even remember getting up or seeing anything.

Other times, I wake up and I panic, I dont know where I am or whats going on, I dont remember why i've got up, where I have to be or the time and things like that, I tend to freak out and just frighten myself.

I also, go thru phases of having nightmares that realy do terrify me...Hate it.

Finally, I tend to fall asleep during the day alot and I friggan hate it. I could of had 7-8 hours sleep and I go to class and when i'm in class, I just fall asleep...Slowly...My head...Falls to the table...Zzz... On buses or cars, I jsut go out like a light without trying and dont even notice it.

Whats going on here? Does this sound familiar, any symptoms or what?

Thanks.

Have you ever talked to the doc about sleep apnea? A friend of mine was diagnosed with it and finally ended up wrecking her car because she fell asleep while driving....Very dangerous and should be checked out........Just a suggestion

Oddly, I was in the passangers seat and I was dozing off and I thought I was driving and my mother turned the corner and I screamed really loudly as I didn't turn that way in my mind and I freaked out.

Sleep apnea? Thanks, i'll ask google-san for more informatiion :)

I have the same kinda problem. Friends tell me that sometimes I get up in the night and have weird conversations with them. Also ive done some pretty crazy stuff like you were talking about. I would get up and feel lost and dont know where to go or what to do. I remember staring at myself in the mirror for a while, and it freaked me out. Also one time I went into my brothers room and sat in a chair for a couple minutes.
