falling asleep

hhiii, so, i'm horrible at starting posts. i never know how to do it. anyways, i was wondering if anyone experiences something similar & what to do..

so, sometimes, when i try to read books about dissociation (i.e. healing the fragmented selves of trauma survivors), system map, or learn about coping skills... i start feeling spacey and sleepy. abnormally sleepy and spacey. and it happens so quickly. i thought it was coincidence in the past, but.. now, i am starting to think it's dissociative.

if i can stay awake, i am so distractible that i can't do anything (reading, system mapping, coping skills). i end up doing something else but i don't want to do something else. it is the only way i can stay awake, i think. i'll slowly come to my senses after i stop for a while. i don't know if anyone else experiences something similar? i was hoping to see if anyone else experiences something similar..

and if you experienced something similar.. how did you cope/work with it? does it mean i am doing something wrong by reading/learning? anyways, thank you in advance for reading & helping me out!
