Nah, those are just symptoms. I have other stuff like any time any where being able to fall asleep within 5 minutes, regardless of how hyper I am or loud the situation is. I've fallen asleep in a football game. I'll also have a dream in a majority of these naps.
Now that I'm taking Modafinil, I can describe the difference a bit easier. It felt like every time I was tired I needed to sleep. I thought about sleeping constantly, about the value of stepping away for a quick nap, or whether I'd have to stand up to not be asleep in the meeting, or how many times I'd nodded off already and whether I could afford to do it again. There were activities I was unable to do for longer than a couple minutes, because I'd fall asleep, such as cuddling.
I dream, constantly. During high school I'd snooze my alarm 4 times, because every 10 minute window was a new, complete dream. This is great in measured amounts, but when I'm sick enough to cough myself awake, sleeping is like hallucinating - constant dreams and 15 seconds of lucidity while I cough before I'm asleep again, all night. Not a terrible experience, actually (I like my dreams), just incredibly disorienting.
It's also been a lifelong problem, and not related to diet or habits. I was falling asleep on toilets when I was in middle school, falling asleep on most bus rides early high school, and every bus ride (I didn't not sleep on a single bus my senior year, first and last day included) and most classes. I got bloodwork done in high school and it came back negative for pre-diabetes or hypoglycemia or anything else - I was exactly average in every test for my height/age. College was easier because I had less uninteresting classes, and I could have my laptop out distracting me with reddit to keep me awake, but if I put it down and tried to pay attention I was unable to. The best I could do was finding games that took my energy but not my mind, such as typing games and other mainly mechanical things, and get the small bit of lessons with what was left. This was the best I could do, in every sense of the word - I was truly unable to give more, regardless of the severity of consequences. On the first day of my first internship, I fell asleep and was poked awake by the CEO of the company during the morning intro powerpoint. The intensity of that embarrassment has not been great for working, especially when I still fell asleep in meetings.
With modafinil allowing me to get through a 1 hour meeting that I don't speak in, for the first time in my life, it's been a game changer. Things like shopping for decorations are now possible, because I can have motivation for things that don't immediately capture my attention (games, books, conversations, programming were kind of it). I'm still hurting from the lack of personal habits because they were too boring, like figuring out my dentist and getting my shirts dry-cleaning. With modafinil, those activities pass the threshold - I've been extraordinarily busy in the past few months while taking it.
So yea, I'm affected by a little bit more than I let on.
