THE NEED FOR SLEEP

From the day 12/10/2007 dd/mm/yy i have needing sleep , i am joking it with the game the need for speed , i normally have problems to fall in sleep , but from that day on , and thanks that the 12th was holiday here in Brazil , i had and am having a need for sleep so overwhelming that it is very strange to me , yesterday i could not even go to work , i slept one or two hours stayed awake one or tho hours and once again to bed . anyone having the same problem or had the same problem ( and with a lot of vivid dreams ( not nightmares ) ) , i could even sleep in a way that i was conscious and my body sleeping and snoring ; 0 ) , what i mean with conscious is that my mind was blank without any thought but i knew i was conscious and that my body was asleep .
