I have been having this problem probably for the past year or so, and especially the past few months.
I sleep in a dark room, with a fan running (I can't sleep in silence), it's usually around 65 degrees in my room at night, and my bed is comfortable. I usually get between six and nine hours of sleep a night, and typically go to bed between midnight and 2AM. I realize that my sleeping pattern could be part of the problem, but I want to ask about it anyway, in case anyone has some advice for me.
Every night, I have extremely vivid dreams. Only a handful of times in my entire life, have I known that I was dreaming. I usually am not aware that I'm asleep, but am aware of every detail in the dream. These dreams seem very real, and sometimes even include people and places from my life.
I feel as though I am awake and living these events, no matter how outrageous and unrealistic they are, it all feels very real to me. Because of this, even if I've slept through the night, I often wake exhausted.
Half the time, I remember my dreams down to every detail, the other half, I forget them completely or only remember bits and pieces. I wake up in the middle of the night often, but not every night.
I just want help so I'm not tired all the time. It's incredibly difficult to function throughout the day, and all I ever want to do is go lay down. Does anyone know what's going on with me or have any tips?
