It’s because I’m sleeping.

I know that sounds weird to some, but I’ve eliminated everything else.

This weird, general-anesthesia feeling fatigue started after I was treated for something that kept me awake, so I started sleeping normally.

When I wake up, the feeling is EXACTLY like coming to from general anesthesia. I’ve been under before and you don’t forget that feeling. I’ll wake up clammy, feeling sick, retching. I don’t feel normal until around 8 pm.

By 4 AM I am buzzing. My physical movement speed is no longer sluggish and my thoughts are much faster. I’m also way more productive.

Then even though I don’t feel tired, I lie down on my bed because sitting up too long hurts my back. When I get too relaxed that’s when I fall asleep and feel fucked up. 3 hours, 8 hours. Doesn’t matter, if I hit deep sleep even for one cycle, that’s enough to flood my brain with general-anesthesia-like toxins it seems.

    IANAMD but you appear to be describing, in vivid detail, the symptoms of severe sleep apnea AND the lingering effects of deep hypoxic events, which are dangerous. Have you consulted a doctor about this? Sleep apnea is very common and treatable.

        Yeah, in fact that is one of the main reasons I like sleep (the other reason is that sometimes in dreams I get to be a pirate or fight ninjas and shit).

        It you’re waking up after any amount of time feeling clamny, sick, or like you’ve just been drugged, I’m gonna say that’s not normal and you should get it checked out by a medical professional.

            my glymphatic system is inverted

            No, it’s not, not without some serious mechanical assistance that doesn’t currently exist because nobody has ever needed their glymphatic system reversed. The reasons are the same as the reasons that osmosis action doesn’t spontaneously “invert” - your glymphatic system works across a concentration gradient, just like osmosis, so to reverse that you need external pressure to force the compounds out of your blood and back into your brain. Not happening in your body, I guarantee it.

            You might have sleep apnoea, or you might have some external factor that’s disrupting your sleep, but you should definitely get it checked out by an actual doctor.

    I’m no doctor, but it does sound like Apnea. You can do diy diagnostics by recording your sleep on audio. Please do it
