Hi @rockysoftis
You said your son suffers from a sleep disorder which resembles epic dreaming. Please could I ask exactly what it is he goes through with the sleep disorder? Does he struggle to sleep, does he have such vivid dreams that he wakes up exhausted? I really want to know if I'm suffering from similar. Thank you

Have you seen a sleep medicine doctor or had an overnight sleep study done?

@kirstiep22 He does not have any issues falling asleep. The dreams come around the end of his sleep, 8-10 hours after he falls asleep. He wakes up so exhausted that he goes back to bed in two or three hours and sleeps for 6-8 hours. Because of this cycle, he has no circadian rhythm.

I hope this helps.
