from your post...

Since writing this I have been more conscious of my thoughts. The needing to suddenly sleep has lessened. It's more like it used to be where I will acknowledge feeling tied and than go lie down if needed. I did go through something similar several years ago and oddly enough it was after a move from one home to another. It's not like I feel physically tired, it's just an urgent thought that I need to sleep. And than I just curl up where ever I am and fall asleep. It is hard to fully explain but now that I am more consciously aware I will wait until I have gotten to a proper place to sleep before falling asleep. Thanks

thanks for the update. yes sometimes when I am physically active I do sometimes get the urge and internal voice to lay down. my own treatment providers call this normal in me. on a normal basis people do have a conscience, internal critic...(this is when a normal non DID person will make judgement's, decisions and actions based on their morals, values, physical condition, sometimes these normal voices seem like coming from out of no where and can seem like not our own voices depending on health issues, fatigue, emotions. like when a person does something that doesnt work out or is contrary to what they are feeling a normal internal critic \judgement will hear or think well that was stupid, I should have, I shouldnt have, should a would a could a...)

sometimes the brain recognizes the physical like being tired\fatigued and my brain will send that normal internal critic thought\voice of you really need to get some sleep.

I cant count how many times after integration I have not paid attention to my physical needs and fell asleep in odd places. short version each of my alters had their own sense of agency (one of my links at the bottom of the page) before integration my alters who's sense of agency was to take care of my physical needs did that for me by taking over when I got too tired\fatigued. but after integration it was up to me to take care of noticing when I was tired\fatigued. if I didnt notice I would fall asleep just anywhere because there wasnt an alter to take over and do the go to bed routine.

like you that normal voice stops once I am back home in my own bed and back on my sleeping schedule that allows me to get the right amount and kind of sleep that I physically need. now when traveling or I know getting good sleep might not be an option I use an alarm clock, write out a routine that allows for getting good sleep.

great work on figuring what this problem was in you too.
