Thus, usually people after they have seizures need to sleep twice as long, so that the brain can relax and return itself to normal brain activity.
Many medications nowadays, even prescription allergy meds, have side effects that include exhaustion, sleepiness, etc. and that's why, usually, on the prescription bottle, it says not to operate heavy machinery within a specific time span after taking that specific medication, due to the side effect(s).
Anyways, rambling aside, I hope you heard back, or will hear back from your doctor soon about this, and get it checked out. Best of luck.

It is not my medication. I knew that already, going into this and it was pretty much confirmed today. But thank you.

I appreciate the input.
I did see my doctor and the first thing and only thing she brought up (other than my other thought, of not hitting REM sleep) was narcolepsy. So I have to do a sleep study and see a sleep specialist. So hopefully that won't cost much, because my parents said if it's too expensive, I can't do it.
