Good day!  I keep experiencing nights where im not sure whether i slept or not.. It doesnt seem like i Slept but i believe i did bc i dreamt..  Its really weird and im freaking out.. Does anyone else experience this?  I hope this is not permanent and i hope there are people who managed to fix this problem

I experience this often too.   I think it mostly happens during very light sleep for short durations, under an hour.  Longer sleeps I will usually recognize as sleep.  I will often fall asleep but think I have been awake the whole time and feel the need to jump out of bed as part of stimulus control.   I sometimes figure out that I was dreaming and realize I have actually slept part of the time.  I think this happens more often than not during “sleepless” nights.   I think it happens so much that I have eliminated getting out of bed when I think I have not slept for more than 20 min,  I now tell myself that I probably have slept and that seems to ease my frustration a bit and I stay in bed.

agree with Roy, it’s probably very light sleep, I’ve had it too.  You have the sense of being a little bit out of it, but you know that you know that, so you know that you cannot be asleep!  If that makes sense.  Because you have the awareness, you are not asleep, even though it can be quite comfortable being in that state, it’s not sleep. You should probably get up.

How do you feel during the day, ajhin123? This is probably the best way to evaluate how well or how poorly you are sleeping.
