Does this sound like a sleep disorder?
I set 4 alarm clocks every morning, around 5-15 minutes apart, and scatter them all over my room. I put some in drawers to wake me up. Still, I sometimes have absolutely no memory of having turned them off.
Sometimes I don’t sleep enough but I do often get 7-9 hours of sleep. I am 17-years-old so I don’t always get the recommended amount but I do often. I’m still always extremely tired. I fall asleep often, but not always, after school and my mother always yells at me for it. I sleep for around 3 hours at the absolute most, usually it’s only around an hour though. I do feel a little better afterward. Even if I don’t, I’m able to focus better at night. I almost always show up 10-20 minutes late for the first class of the morning. Sometimes, after setting and turning off all those clocks, my mother will knock on my door and ask me if I’m up. I’ll tell her that I am and that I’m getting ready and tell her to go away. This upsets my mother because it is, of course, rude, but I honestly have absolutely no memory of saying these things. Sometimes I talk to both my parents before I’m even awake.
Right before I fall asleep and sometimes during the middle of the night or in the morning when I’m half awake, I hallucinate. I’ve never had a visual hallucination, they’re always auditory. The other morning, I heard my dad talking in front of my door. My father comes to visit sometimes but he was 5 hours away at the time and there’s no way he was home. I heard a man the other night right before I fell asleep, I don’t even remember what he said but nobody was home. I’ve had this since I was younger though. One time, I was in the car and I fell asleep pretty quickly. I was around 10. I had the most vivid and terrifying nightmare and I woke up to a gunshot. The gunshot wasn’t a part of the dream, I heard it out loud. I looked out the window and we were still in the same area, I’d only been asleep for like 5 minutes.
I have no problem spending an extended amount of time on a math problem or any schoolwork. My brain just doesn’t allow me to. I used to be much more focused and I could spend hours doing math. Now, my brain will get all foggy and the page will go out of focus (not in the Schizophrenic way but in the tired way) and I won’t be able to think. I have constant headaches. I can’t listen to people because I’m constantly zoning out. It’s a big problem at school but it’s also affecting my social life, sometimes I’m incredibly interested in hearing what one of my peers has to say but I simply can’t focus enough to listen to what they’re talking about.
