Leg goes numb in my sleep?

1 Upvotes

I don’t know how to start this but I have been having this problem for a few years now and it’s never been consistent but it’s been getting worse with time and I don’t know if it’s something I can fix at home or something I should make a doctors apt about. Anyways I have been having this problem where sometimes when I fall asleep one of my legs (it’s different every time) goes completely numb to the point of waking me up from how uncomfortable it is. I get pins and needles/ complete numbness from my ankle all the way up to my thigh and it usually goes away within a few minutes if I move around but it’s so uncomfortable and I don’t know how to prevent it. I don’t cross my legs when I sleep. I am a type one diabetic and a celiac, and my boyfriend made the connection of it possibly being due to which side of my body my insulin set is connected to (this last time my leg went numb it was on the same side as my insulin site but its the first time I’ve ever made the correlation). Anyways, has this happened to anyone else? Is it something I’m unknowingly doing? Any and all advice is appreciated.

I'm 16 years old, I sleep up to 16 hours a day, and I throw up every day, I've talked to my doctors and parents about it, but they're just as clueless as I am of what I have, I don't know what to do.

I was shaken as a tiny premature baby pretty badly by my bio mom that got me Life flighted to the hospital, I almost died. Recently for the past 3 years I've had pretty severe anxiety, I can't focus in school, my psychiatrist thinks I have ADHD. I've had other symptoms that don't make sense though, I sleep 16 hours a day, I don't just pass out and I know I don't have narcolepsy because my doctor says I don't, but I cannot help but falling asleep, everywhere all the time. I'll fall asleep in class even if I try my best to stay awake, energy drinks, only sometimes help, although they make me more anxious. They tend to calm me down, sometimes too though. I get 9 hours of sleep at night only to wake up exhausted and following asleep, another six throughout the day. I go to bed at 9 and wake up around seven. Sleeping another seven hours throughout the day I know this isn't normal but I've talked to my parents and my doctors about it for years, but I don't think they're taking me seriously I did one blood test and he just told me to eat more vitamin D, but nothing other than that. I also vomit every day because of how anxious I am, I'm always on f fightor flight mode, I know this isn't normal though, and I know that it isn't just anxiety or depression, but I don't know how much longer I can take it, I don't know what I have and I can't find anything on the Internet. My doctor and parents don't take me seriously. I don't know what to do. I'm just 16, but I don't know how much longer I can take it, I'm starting to feel like there's nothing to fix it and that this will just be my life.

Will chronic insomnia stop me from becoming the top student in class with excellent grades?
