I should add, I'm very hard to wake, and once up and about I'm very groggy and it takes me until almost noon time to "fully wake up",and process things. I can barley walk the first few hours, or walk well I should say. I must say I'm also frequently very tired during the day.
I know , I know its a long list lol. I'm just trying to pin-point it, as its greatly affected me being able to wake up timely even back in school days.
I know my mother has a lot of the same stuff, and 2 of my children, when do "odd " things and are "heavy sleepers" once fell asleep in the snow.
Any leads or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
