I am 57 years old and have had this same problem for as long as I can remember. I wake up during the night, but I don’t fully wake up and I remember every single vivid dream. I have written several down and have joked that I should write a book about them. I am tired all day long and I’ve had two sleep studies done. The first sleep study was done in the clinic and I literally could not sleep there. They wanted me to sleep flat on my back without turning on my side, or propping up my head at all. They determined I had mild sleep apnea, though I don’t know how since I didn’t really sleep at all. I got a second opinion and had an at home sleep study, and that came back as me not having sleep apnea. Though I am not happy that everybody on here is having the same problem as me, I am feeling comfort that I am not the only one. My father, brother and niece all have had similar experiences. That led me to believe that it was genetic. I literally can’t remember what it feels like to not be tired all the time.
