Sometimes I feel like I have lost time. That is the only way I know how to describe it. I'll look at a clock and realize 2 hours have passed when I thought only about 15 minutes had gone by. I've always thought I've just been a terrible estimator of time, always running late & whatnot. But lately,over the past several months, I've consciously stayed on top of keeping track of time, thinking before I started "no more lolly-gagging around wasting time for me!" Except, no matter what I do, almost every other day, several hours simply 'disappear' without any warning! It's the oddest feeling, being absolutely positive 10 minutes have passed, then having the clock show that 2 and a half hours have gone by instead! When this happens, I'm left feeling so confused & wondering "what the heck was going on the past 2 hours??!" because I can only account for a fraction of that time.

Has anyone else ever experienced this phenomenon?

I was diagnosed with hypersomnia, and before being on the right meds for that, would sleep a lot & fall asleep randomly & quickly without warning, but i always knew/ could tell i had been sleeping once i woke up. This is a totally different feeling than that!

Sorry post is so long :/ wanted to try to cover potential questions
Thanks for this!
