Sleeping A Lot

[ashdawn8287]

So I have been sleeping on and off for like 3 days now. I hate when this happens. I woke up Sunday feeling weird. I think I was experiencing depersonalization. I woke up feeling like my senses were amplified. I felt very sensitive to the environment. I kind of felt like a vampire if that makes sense lol. After sleeping for that much I am feeling normal again. Anyone else experience this sometimes?

I absolutely hate it. I actually prefer insomnia. It can last for ages for me sometimes when it happens and it is almost impossible to get anything done and I am totally unreliable. Thank goodness it doesn't happen too often. Sorry you have had it and I understand the vampire thing. ;-)

I try to remind myself that it is good for my body as it is getting needed rest...with limited success.

Yes, I experience that - I'm experiencing it at the moment.

When I'm awake I'm only half there. And the pull to lie down is huge. When I do lie down, sometimes my mind is full of images and sensory feelings of trauma and I fall into it. But sometimes I'm blank and fall into a very deep sleep. I'm usually a light sleeper. But at these times, I'm so exhausted.

I haven't had that kind of sleeping for days thing for a couple years. I would definitely feel out of it when awake, but tried to think that my body and psyche evidently needed it and eventually it would go away again.

Lately I feel like I could use some excessive sleep. After going off meds in December, it has often been a struggle to put together a few good hours a night. But at least I get some versus the nightmare of little to no sleep every night for a year. Hallucinations galore at the end. Unless I was seeing spirits. Who knows.

Yes the hallucinations are going to come

I'm going to hallucinate????

No. If a person doesn't hardly sleep for a year, some people will begin dreaming when they are awake and therefore "see things" that aren't there. It goes away when they catch up on sleep. Extreme sleep deprivation will do that sometimes, but not always. Fear not.

I meant they could come. When I don't sleep, I have anxiety psychosis. It's not fun :(
