RULES:

I am looking for mods!

1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.

2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)

3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.

4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.

5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.

6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

It's because I'm sleeping.

I know that sounds weird to some, but I've eliminated everything else.

This weird, general-anesthesia feeling fatigue started after I was treated for something that kept me awake, so I started sleeping normally.

When I wake up, the feeling is EXACTLY like coming to from general anesthesia. I've been under before and you don't forget that feeling. I'll wake up clammy, feeling sick, retching. I don't feel normal until around 8 pm.

By 4 AM I am buzzing. My physical movement speed is no longer sluggish and my thoughts are much faster. I'm also way more productive.

Then even though I don't feel tired, I lie down on my bed because sitting up too long hurts my back. When I get too relaxed that's when I fall asleep and feel fucked up. 3 hours, 8 hours. Doesn't matter, if I hit deep sleep even for one cycle, that's enough to flood my brain with general-anesthesia-like toxins it seems.

You sleep and wake up refreshed?

Yeah, in fact that is one of the main reasons I like sleep (the other reason is that sometimes in dreams I get to be a pirate or fight ninjas and shit).

It you're waking up after any amount of time feeling clamny, sick, or like you've just been drugged, I'm gonna say that's not normal and you should get it checked out by a medical professional.
