you sound like you need to be evaluated by a sleep specialist. You are describing symptoms of Narcolepsy. If you have Narcolepsy, you need to get treatment for it. Untreated narcolepsy patients can fall asleep without any warning, you might not be in a safe place for that to happen. Also, not all but some narcolepsy patients sometimes function while asleep. Personally I have moved items such as medication while asleep, it took me 2 weeks to find it because it was absolutely illogical to put anything there, especially meds. Once I woke up and discovered that during the night in my sleep I went down a flight of stairs threw 3 rooms to get to the kitchen. I made a sandwhich and brought it to my bedroom. I laid down on my back, placed the uneaten sandwhich on top of my stomach and that was were I found it when I woke up. I had no memory of how I got the sandwich

Yes. I have trouble keeping my eyes open during the day sometimes. Weird. Sometimes when I'm driving.
