Hey, my name is Liam. I am an 18 year old student with a bizarre sleeping pattern.
Sometimes I will stay awake from 11am one day until 7am the next day without feeling tired. I will end up forcing myself to sleep by lying down with my eyes closed for close to an hour, then sleep for around 12 hours.
I have rarely been ill. I don't catch colds, or other illnesses ever.
When I sleep, I sometimes wake up mid-sleep and have lucid dream hallucinations whilst I am awake. Which is terrifying.
The most recent time I woke up to see a man in the corner of my room emerging from the shadows towards me. The room was shaking violently and I couldn't move. Eventually I managed to get free, and I ran to my curtains and opened them to let light into my room - only to discover that there was nothing there. I made something to eat and went back to sleep for another 7 hours.
I don't seek medical attention, I just want to know if there is anyone else out there who has something similar?
Outside of these episodes I am quite an energetic, normal person with a keen interest in climbing, boxing and photography.
Thanks for your time
