When it comes to Sleep disorder, I can firmly say that I have already covered almost all of the subject except the Apnae as my dad has, at least not yet. But the weirdest one would be the Circadian Rhythm Disorder that I falling in to the category of the Non 24 Sleep Disorder. (AKA Free-running, Non-entrained, Hypernychthemeral) As you can guess I'm not sight blind since I can be here, but my internal clock aka circadian clock is so out of sync I'm blind to the day/night in the 24 hour rules of light interpretation. While other people get sleepy at night with melatonin secretions and waking up during day with cortisol secretion and feeling awake my doesn't . Every day my day/night isn't in the rule of 24 hours, another word my clock actually has more than 25 hour per day and every few days it chance to even more wider range stretching or even shrunken times. I can't fight the over high dosed of melatonin that decided my time of sleep and my cortisol decide when to wake me up every day which many times can be very different than another . In result I could be awake after 3-4 hours of sleep feeling like it's the next day , yet once in a month i might suddenly going in dead sleep 18-20 hours for no reason, or crazier is not be able to sleep at all for 2 days yet didn't feel that any different than going to sleep everyday. My cycle of sleeps has been in non 24 for so many years I'm used to it and so as my love one and people who knows me well. I adjusted any works or eating schedule around it also ( I imagine that it's kinda like living in out of space ) The legally official diagnose are very difficult do to timing schedules so it has been many years that I haven't yet complete the progresses. Since to be honest I don't actually enjoy the idea of being in a category of a blind person according to the non-24 rules so I don't mind stretching the process a bit longer (perhaps a lot longer) cause I still like being legally not blind.
What's yours weirdest and most usual sleep disorder you've ever experienced it or have?
