Yesterday night I had sound sleep until after midnight. I woke up all of a sudden thinking it was daytime and I had overslept my afternoon nap. I started moving my hands on the bed searching for my mobile which I keep by my side during the day but I switch it off at night after 10pm. My mobile obviously was not by my side as I keep it somewhere else at night. I then I turned around and saw the portico lights burning which I only switch on after it gets dark. I got up and went to the bathroom and then I saw the clock. It was 1.15AM. It was dark outside and I realized it wasn't day but night. I went to sleep and slept so much that I missed my yoga exercises.
Have you ever had such an experience.

This actually happens to me often - as I wake up every 2-3 hours when I sleep at night. After sleeping for the first 2-3 hours, I feel refreshed and almost wide awake . . . . I think that surely it must be near morning. But looking at the clock it is only about 1am

@aninditasen I never sleep continuously - never. Do you take naps? Sometimes I am able to nap, but most times life is just too busy.

@much2say I do take naps in the afternoon. Maybe I slept with something in mind.

I am perfectly OK now. I usually wake up at night after every 2 to 3 hours. I don't sleep continuously for 6 to 8 hours now.

Sometimes. Is it the sign of old age?

This happened to me even when I was young. Dreams have no relation with oldage. This situation occurs when you are dreaming.

@Nakitakona Yes, some circumstances make you dream and behave in such a fashion.

@aninditasen okay. Not only old age but some circumstances it will.

Sometimes when I woke up from my afternoon nap, I thought that's morning time.

I sleep less in the afternoon. I wake up when the maid comes and when her daughter comes to learn English from me.

I have never experienced that. I routinely wake up very early.

I wake up very early too at 4am but yet wake up sometimes after sleeping continuously for 2 to 3 hours.

I did once but for me it was a nap I took and when I woke up I thought it was morning because it was still light outside then I looked at the clock and realized it was 4 in the afternoon. I rarely take naps so this was a surprise for me.

That has happened to me before, usually in summer when it is light for much of the day.

I think Mom had that problem when ever she gets to sleep in the afternoon waking up thinking it's the morning.

I don't have this problem in the afternoon nap. Yes, I dream at night and wake up at times at odd hours.

Do you go back sleep again or find it difficult to sleep.
