But I walk during the day like I'm in a daze. Every day for me is wake up at 6:30am and it's hard to get my self out of bed cause I'm soooo sleepy.

Then I walk through out the day half asleep, hard time concentrating, until about 3pm or so when after quite some cups of caffene I finally wake up fully. It's annoying because I'm always tired and sleepy & it takes a lot of energy to pay good attention at everything specially at work. Ugh and when I'm driving home I have to have a soda with me with plenty of caffene just in case.

ALSO dream wise.... I have a question...

"all my dreams are dark. no matter what I dream about even if it's a happy dream it's always dark. I never see daylight in my dreams and generally they are like puzzles and don't make a lot of sense. Rarely can you really follow them" Any ideas???

THx...

You say you awaken during the night? How often does this happen? Is it over a bad dream or are you waking up to use the bathroom?

I am just wondering because if you are waking up a lot you may have sleep apnea.. which is a breathing problem during deep sleep which can cause you to not feel completely rested.

I would talk with a medical doctor about the sleepiness/fatigue issue.
