    Possibly sleeping disorder?

    Sometimes I can?t sleep at during the night well others days/nights I can get 13 hours of sleep and still be tired all day I am never not tired whatever I sleep or don?t sleep it?s so overwhelming I can sleep in doctors offices cars college courses well no Matter how bad it sounds well sitting on a couch in my sisters living room with the tv loud toddlers toys going off
    About a year and a half ago I had to ask someone to help me babysit in fear of falling asleep

    Sometimes I?m beyond a functioning level to where I don?t care where I am I?ve laid on a hospital floor and fallen asleep movie theaters with friends

    Like tonight?s one of those nights where sleeping is hard for me

    But I honestly thought it was medicine related I completely stopped all my meds at once lithium depakote and lamitical

    I think because of this I?m constantly forgetting certain days of the weeks or hours

    Also when I sleep I never dream I?m aware of my surroundings I can hear things around me so I hear things people say sometimes I shouldn?t because they think I am like in a full rem sleep other times I?ve reached a little further into a rem sleep and can?t hear but still don?t dream

    I?ve always had sleep issues as a child my mom claims I had seizures in my sleep twitching and jerking she said at 13 my sister told me I walked out of my bed to a dresser and started making hand motions and saying I was cutting a piece of cake and if she wanted some? I used to wake up screaming sometimes well sleeping I wake up chocking and gasping for air I had a sleep study done for sleep apnea she said I do stop breathing just not enough to be diagnosed but she said I sound like it is a form of narcolepsy

    It?s just at this point it?s becoming to much

    Have you been checked by the doctor for this and been blood tested? It isnt nessecerilly anything majorly serious times - I had this and turns out I have mild hypothyroidism.

    Its also worth noting that depression can cause this (I become hypersomniac when depressed), but still worth getting this checked out.

    I have been told I have thyroid issues I was taking a med that was denied through the local CVS pharmacy I never called my doctor to fix the issue

    As I think it was related to him doing something

    I truthfully assumed I was fine


    I was told my levels are low when I had went and was but on a thyroid med levothyroxine


    It could be related to my thyroid

    Small update we found out my pill called lithium was causing all my thyroid Problems I no longer sleep at all during the day and get a good 6 to 8 hours a night
    Unless I?m in a uncomfortable environment which can cause no sleep at all.
    I also started tracking my sleep pattens.
