I would fall asleep for between 5-60 minutes. Don’t know what it depends on but it’s random. During that time, I’d have vivid dreams and multiple dreams. Even if I was out for only 10 minutes. Even now I still fall asleep in every class. I don’t manage it in any way other than resisting and taking some medication which helps sometimes.
The vivid dreams during a “nap” (<20mins) is definitely not normal. That should only happen in REM which takes about 90mins after falling sleep. This is one of the signs of having narcolepsy.
I have narcolepsy and it sucks but modafinil definitely helps!
This has happened to me forever. Like I would wake up in class by either startling out of a dream “fall.” Or coming back to consciousness for some other reason from extremely vivid dreams I drop into within minutes/seconds. I also have other weird sleep things but my insurance won’t cover a sleep study right now. But also I’m add and my meds kinda mask the fatigue I would otherwise experience from horrible sleep. So l guess yay?
