      Sometimes, I feel like I’m awake all night but I remember a dream I had vividly. So I’m really confused whether or not I’m awake or asleep. Has anyone ever had this experience before?

        Confused you shouldn’t be! You were sleeping. What you described is paradoxical insomnia (previously called sleep state misperception). It is the belief that you got little to no sleep when in fact you were asleep.

          If you remember a dream, then you slept! When do you normally go to bed at night and get out of bed to start your day in the morning? How are you feeling during the day?
