I notice you say yours last for 2-3 hours, mine are only for about 10-20 mins or so.

Don't know how you sleep at night? do you wake up a lot? My sleep is awful, constantly wake up and have tremors.

When I get the episodes during the day though, it's not like oh i'm just going to take a nap as I feel so tired, it just happens so suddenly and my head has sometimes just gone downwards, if I'm sitting up, only know that when I wake up as i never remember actually falling asleep.

It just feels different somehow.
Yes, and there is absolutely noway to stay awake. The urge to sleep is just overwhelming.

Yes, but I think it happens more in the morning. Maybe because of my sleeping pills.

I could not sleep before taking sleeping pills. I sleep pretty solid with a few restless moments. I am using a FitBit to monitor my sleeping patterns.
