Every day, especially when it gets dark & the artificial lights get turned on I feel like I haven't slept in 10 days.

Like I have been awake for 10 days drinking tons of caffeine & alcohol but haven't been able to crash yet, so utterly exhausted yet very wired at the same time.

Also when I go to bed I wake up feeling like I haven't actually slept. Like I'm missing sleep stages. I am wondering whether I have sleep issues or DP or vice versa.

It's so confusing. MY DP has been 24/7 for almost 6 months now, and it was progressive. Like it wasn't just there and stayed the same but got worse month by month but it's slowly settling down I guess. I just found out last month that I got this conditioned. Before I was just thinking that my sleep patterns broke & that's why I feel so extremely weirded out.

Comments are welcome.

I feel better before going to sleep than after waking up.Never in my life I remembered waking up and feeling fresh.
I feel better going to bed late and waking uo late than going to bed early and waking up early.

Me neither. But when DP started it was like 100x worse like not actually having slept at all.

Oh yeah, you have no idea.

I think this is a big problem with DP. You get poor sleep, feel like shit. Get more DP because you don't get the rest. Get no sleep because of DP.................

Sorry but i totally disagree. Of course its better to get good sleep but once you get dp/dr, it doesnt play big role. You can sleep 14 hours a day and it wont help ur dp/dr , but actually make it worse. Personally oversleeping is one of reasons my dp was relapsing

Take vitamins, i was feeling same when i was vitamin d deficient. I could sleep for 10 hours and wake up totally exhausted. Other sign is you are physically inactive and thats what makes u lethargic
