I had a sleep study done last year and I was supposed to go back, but I never did.
I was being tested for Sleep Apnea.
I believe I probably do have that.
I've had sleeping issues for years.
I can't fall asleep, have trouble staying asleep, wake up constantly, etc.
My functions are steadily getting worse, so my ass needs to go back to the sleep clinic.
But what's scary is how forgetful I am and how I lose focus a lot.
Someone will be talking to me and I just stop hearing them and zone out.
I don't drive, but I will lose focus on car rides and not know what was happening or where we were in the time that I zoned out.
I was like "Oh my God...what if I was driving and that happened!?"
That really makes me not want to drive ever.
Unless I can get this fixed.
It's like walking through a thick fog and being disoriented.
I'm so forgetful that I don't remember if I took my medication or not.
I take three different antidepressants a day.
One I NEED because it helps me sleep.
But I can't remember if I took them or not.
And just not knowing is scary to me.
I try hard but can't remember.
Going along with my insomnia, I used to take the sleep medication called "Ambien".
It's an incredibly strong medication I guess because they don't like giving it out.
But I went a year with very little sleep due to anxiety attacks every single night.
I asked my psychiatrist for it back (it had stopped working) and he said no because it causes people to drive while asleep and sleepwalk and things like that.
Keep in mind, no one told me that when I first started taking it.
I never experienced anything like that, but a warning would have been nice >___>
I mean I don't think I experienced it. I'd have been asleep. xD
Has something scared you like that?
Or you realized something was scary much later?
