Hello all,

New to the forums. I couldn't find help as to why recently I've taken up an odd sleep position lately.

Let me try and remember how everything started for me...

Currently a 44 year old male...very active in weightlifting and tennis...and try to eat pretty clean...

Up until March of 2014 I've always been one of those individuals who could lay down in bed and be asleep within 5 minutes flat, and wouldn't wake ...

Does anyone else seem to have difficulties differencing nightmares and reality? Everthing is so mixed up in my head, when I wake up in the morning I never know if something happened during the night (dixit in my head) or before that, in my real life...
