Anyone wake feeling exhausted after seemingly dreaming all night
Sleep Health | Last Active: 19 hours ago | Replies (166)Comment receiving replies
Guys, has anyone found a solution? I’m 25 now, and this problem has been with me for more than 5 years. I really need help. If I don’t force myself to wake up, I won’t get up at all because I’m always tired in the morning and feel sleepy. I need caffeine just to feel fully awake.
And the dreams are too many and too vivid. I love it, but I’ve had enough—I just need to sleep.

I feel you, I'm 32 and have had this since I was a kid. It's so difficult waking up, if I don't force myself in the morning for work I can keep going back to sleep and dreaming. Sometimes it feels impossible to wake myself up and I oversleep. Do you crash in the afternoon as well? I usually get tired so have a power nap, but i'll vivid dream during that as well.
I tried sleeping pills, and although they knocked me out for hours, I still had a full night of vivid dreaming.
One thing that seemed to be effective for me, was blue lotus tea when I was in Sri Lanka. I live in the UK though and I can't find it here. It's the flower which is dried, and you put it in a cup with hot water. I found it quite relaxing and it I woke up more refreshed and didn't remember my dreams. My friend on the other hand, got wired and had trouble sleeping on it.
I have ADHD since I was a kid, and overthink ALL the time, brain never shuts up. Tbh though, I smoked weed for a few years in my late teens, and even that didn't stop me from dreaming so.

I did a sleep study and they said I have idiopathic hypersomnia. My brain doesn’t sleep when I am sleeping. I don’t dream but I’m always tired.
