A good night's sleep does not bother me; in fact it makes me feel pretty good, but daytime naps kill any good mood I have going on. I feel disoriented and anxious after waking from a daytime nap.
I also have REM sleep immediately upon sleeping, whether it is at night or just for a nap. I know from my past employment in a sleep lab that that is not normal; I know I have sleep apnea but I didn't think it interfered significantly with my sleep. Maybe I'm wrong. I do know that I get lucid dreams in which I'm aware I'm not breathing well but can't awaken myself. Eventually of course I do awaken, usually with a huge snort, but after some unpleasant discomfort and anxiety about my obviously dropping oxygen level.
