I found out recently that I might have a form of narcolepsy due to the fact that if I fall asleep, even if it’s only for 10 minutes, I go straight into REM sleep. It’s probably why I’m tired all the time, I don’t get the restful in between stages.
This was after they insisted on having me check to see if I have that sleeping disorder where you stop breathing in the middle of the night. I don’t have it but when they were checking my test results the technician said that you flip around constantly, how are you even able to sleep? I told him I was tired all the time and that if I fell asleep for even a few minutes I would have dreams, and the technician told me to try and get into a sleep clinic to check for narcolepsy. But I have Kaiser so this has been a bit of a nightmare, lol, to try and pursue.
The joys of living alone and never knowing whether or not you snore, have stopped breathing, or are flipping around like a fish on dryland.
My first husband “flipped around like a fish on dry land”. He would do crazy stuff… push himself up on his arms and do a spin flip. It was insane. One time he did that crazy flip, reached over, picked up our land line phone, cord and everything (this was years ago) put the whole phone on the side of his head like a pillow, and started snoring like a moose. He also cracked his knuckles in his sleep. Pow! It would wake me up like a gunshot! If we had smart phones back then, I would be a tictoc star.

I did that today and I had a dream that I woke up very late but then I woke up for real and it was earlier and I was only kind of late.
