What is it about sleep that you are afraid of? For some people, they fear sleep because they are afraid they will never wake up again. However, what you describe is normal under the circumstances...that is, that if you're so afraid of sleep that you go as long as you can without sleeping. Your body needs sleep...if you go so long without it, your body will eventually take over and your body will "crash." When people "crash" it's not uncommon for them to experience something like simply laying down and then waking up thinking it's only been a few minutes, when really seveal hours have passed. This is simply your body adjusting and giving you what you need, which is sleep. Have you tried therapy for this phobia?
