A weird lifehack I discovered a while ago

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.

I don't feel non-drugged until well after 6 PM. I'm sleeping very well. I even tried caffeine pills and even caffeine doesn't budge the "just come to under general anesthesia" feeling. I've been under before, and that retch-y feeling is the same. People have also noticed that I'm moving slowly. I don't drink alcohol, so this isn't a hangover. It started rather gradually but is getting worse.

Someone suggested it could be low b12, but I've been having the sublingual spray for months and there's no improvement.

Am I just getting old and this is something I'm gonna have to put up with for the rest of my life?

I tried making a Reddit account and it asked me to build karma before I could ask on any of the relevant subs so I'm posting here.

I can personally say that if anything goes up there, it hurts, and not in a good way. It does not feel pleasurable at all. It feels kind of like placing a finger on an open sore and pushing down.

Also, if you're being examined, they tell you to take deep breaths, as if they know that anything going up is going to be painful. If sex is supposed to be pleasurable and enjoyable, why would doctors tell you to brace for impact, so to speak?

Lastly, women often scream during sex. It's often said they're screaming out of pleasure and not pain. But there are a lot of things I find extremely pleasurable, but I don't scream while I do them.

Is it just one of those things that is painful but we're conditioned into believing the pain is actually pleasure and I must have inconsistent pain tolerance and I am making a big deal out of this?
