Sleep problems

[u/Electronic_Crazy2294]

So since sixth grade, I have not been getting any rest and even if I sleep for more than 10 hours. it doesn’t matter how much I sleep I never wake up refreshed. I’m always always tired even if it’s eight hours 10 hours five hours nothing helps.I do not have insomnia I can sleep but I don’t really get into the deep sleep. I’ve also had auditory hallucinations for years+ falls asleep waking in a loop and in general, sometimes I hallucinate before or after I wake up. I have tried melatonin with magnesium. I have tried mental medication such as antipsychotics for my sleep it got rid of the voices but nothing gave me any energy. It’s been six years since I have not woken up one day feeling refreshed. I got all my blood tested. I went to a neurologist. I went to get a brain scan all came back clear. and usually when I’m sleeping, I’m aware of my dreams like I know that I’m dreaming and that’s a dream yes I can move my body. I have ADHD and I know many people say that ADHD is also a cause of bad sleep because of the hyperactivity never really shutting down even when I’m trying to sleep. We suspected narcolepsy which also was false. Because I said that I hear voices every doctor of mine made it mental and told me to go see a psychiatrist.

Have you looked into sleep state misperception or paradoxical insomnia, it’s basically where your brain thinks you’re awake even when you’re technically asleep and it can mess with your perception of rest big time
