My symptoms are very close except it's more obvious in more challenging socia settings, like working/sitting in between people who I dislike, visiting a place I find boring, or simply being somewhere I have nothing to do. I become fatigued extremely fast as if I need immediate sleep, and gets better once I become alone. I think it is definitely related with fear. Sometimes I feel like my mind has escaped elsewhere, maybe the misalignment of attention and presence is what is causing the issue.
Yep -- that's how it is with me. It's like, I can get motivated for about an hour or so -- a HUGE improvement to my pre-AM6 life, in which I would get motivated for minutes. But then, there's the inevitable, undeniable urge to go somewhere alone and sleep. I'm coping right now through the use of a daily cocktail of adaptogens and caffeine, but I want to be completely supplement free within the next year or so.
Even while growing up, sleep was a "coping" mechanism. When something bad would happen, my first impulse was to sleep. After I woke up, I found I could deal with the problem much easier. It's like that grew and grew, and now I have the urge to just check out and sleep all the time, even though I know I'll be great when I defeat this.
In Stage 1 of my second AM6 run, I felt absolutely unstoppable. I still had that lingering "sleep drive", but it was crushed by whatever went on in Stage 1. The AM6 manual says that Stage 1 removes beta male thinking and provides a foundation for the rest of the program. So, my theory is that this is being caused by a mixture of intense fear and an intense sense of self-hatred -- both of which was being suppressed by Stage 1's programming.
I grew up a minority in a very racist town in the American south, where I was pretty much told that I was worthless as a human being on an everyday basis. Something tells me that this "sleep drive" is the manifestation of that -- perhaps a protection mechanism.
Anyway, AM6 is working wonders on that, but I'm not sure if it's the tool best suited for it. Sounds like EHPRA 2.0 will obliterate whatever it is, but there's the slight chance that it IS something biological -- although, I strongly believe that these kinds of physical afflictions begins in the subconscious mind.
