Can't wake up!!


Posted by Angel on September 17, 1997 at 19:25:34:

For the past 3 years or so, I've become more and more fatigued, feeling the urge to sleep all during the day, and especially after I take the kids to school in the mornings. I've always been able to sleep about 4 hours at night, take them to school, then come home and take a 2-hour nap and be fine. Except for the increasing fatigue which sometimes is accompanied by achiness and a feeling of weakness. Yesterday was the last straw. I was dragged out of bed by my hubby(he has to) and made it to the livingroom where I lolled around half-asleep until time to go to school. All the way there and all the way back home I had to pinch myself on the arm to stay awake, because it was literally impossible to keep my eyes open! I have a nice bruise on my arm that I hardly even felt happen. I got back home and after hubby left for work at 8:30, I went back to sleep. I set my alarm clock to go off at 2 separate times, and each time it goes off it alarms for a solid hour. Now, this clock was turned as loudly as it can go. I not only slept straight through 2 hours of loud alarming, I didn't wake up til 1:30! My kids get out of school at 2:15! Driving with my kids in the car and falling asleep is something I will not do, which is why I've found this site. Has anyone had symptoms like these? My hubby says I don't snore, and also, I remember my dreams, very vividly every single night. Sometimes I start dreaming if I merely doze off. Can anyone help me with this? Even someone with the same experiences would help! Thanks so much!
