ok.. this is long and confusing lol!!!
after cpn earlier i was shattered so decided as i had the day to myself to go back to sleep!!! of which i did, and i went into a fairly deep sleep.
i dreamt that it was time to wake up and i did, but in my head i believed i was in fact getting up, i was in my room at uni, everything how it is, and i couldn't wake up properly felt too heavy and so slumped at the end of my bed, then i woke up (in my dream) and realised i was dreaming but i did need to get up and i was too hot, but also heavy and sleepy so i took some layers off and then feel asleep on the stairs in my room, then finally woken up by my alarm (from now on its real) I woke up, finding it hard to open eyes, confused to whether i was awake or not as i had dreamt i had woken up twice, and feeling heavy, but as my alarm kept going off as did my txt from hels i forced my eyes open and sit up!!! it takes me ages to wake up properly and leaves me feeling weird!!!!

i have these dreams a lot and only when i sleep through the day!?!?
however they usually involve me having a fit or fainting- none of which i suffer from in real life!?!?!
what does it all mean?

It sounds a like sleep-paralysis. I may have it when sleeping in the day - planning for a little short nap, which turns out to be longer and deeper... or I have it if I'm not sure whether I locked my door properly and fear for intruders (I've had a burgler in my parents' home twice while we were sleeping upstairs). I'd be trying desperately to wake up, in my mind think I did wake up, but then a little later realize I'm still sleeping in my bed and just cant even open up my eyes, or lift a finger. It feels as if there's some presence - the perceived cause of waking you up consciously enough... for me not a demon, but someone trying my door handle or something. Heck, I had one this week only, at night. I was even sure the "burglar" had entered my bedroom and I was mumbling "who are you and what are you doing here", while I just couldn't open my eyes or move. When I finally did wake up effectively, I found I had not locked my door properly, but detailed arrangement was different, so there never was anyone there.

Here's a wikilink to the phenomenon

Thanks thats really helpful and interesting!!!! I'm having a sleep hosp appt next thurs because they think I may have sleep apnia, so i may mention this!!!!

thanks a lot tho!! makes a lot of sense!!!

:D

If you have sleep apnia, yeah then you might have a big sleep deprivation, unrestful sleep pattern... both those and a nap in the day are typical reasons for regular sleep paralysis episodes. My parents both had a screening in a sleep hospital, both have apnia, and were helped to get more out of their sleep.

Good luck with the test results.
