This has been going on for over 6 months now. The doctors don’t know what the fuck is going on, clueless. It’s frustrating, and not even ‘Doctor Google’ will tell me I’m dying. Basically, from the moment I wake up there’s like an internal timer, and after 12 hours I’ll start to feel sick. It’ll start with a headache, and if I wait too long to go to bed, I’ll get extreme nausea in addition to the headache. The only way to make it go away is to lay down and go to sleep. It’s really confusing, and it’s not like anything specific happened before this started. It just… Happened. So I’m curious if anyone else has dealt with this before, and if so, any solutions. It’s ruined my sleep schedule, because unless I sleep for 12 hours, my schedule shifts daily (unless I stay up while feeling sick to stay up longer).

I would think this is very unusual. Almost every person is up for more than 12 hours each and every day.
Some of the symptoms seem similar to dehydration – are you staying well hydrated throughout the day and evening?
Could it be something in your diet that you have at a similar time each day?
Otherwise, I’d definitely be seeing a non-Google doctor about this, if it’s impacting your day to day life which it seems to be.
Have you tried fasting? could be parasites
We are creatures of habit, are you by chance in the same building/place when this happens?
My mom practically just lived in our open floor plan living room/kitchen (her choice) and it turned out that the living room was harboring black mold behind the curtain that she failed to mention and it triggered an intersticial lung disease that ended up taking her. I was feeling sick too but got better once I wasn’t exposing myself to the mold unknowingly everyday when I’d stay at home.
So now I’m always hyper aware that if I’m feeling bad, with no obvious internal reasons, to make sure it’s not my environment that’s causing it.
I have chronic lyme and my body shuts down after about 12 hours. Look into that or autoimmune issues.
May be psychiatric, anxiety, stress, or undiagnosed mental health disorder. Psychiatric conditions can cause the physical symptoms you’re describing. Autoimmune related condition or gastric issue is the next guess. Go to a real doctor..
I had this for like a year or so! It came out of nowhere, and no one seemed to understand when I would explain it. They were just like “so when you get tired, you just…. get tired?”
I would also get really shaky, like my whole body was vibrating, along with the nausea. Then I’d go to sleep, and everything would be fine when I woke up.
It just went away on its own about 2-3 months ago. I still don’t know what caused it.
Sometimes this will happen to me – I have Ehlers-Danlos and it comes from my neck straining to hold my head up all day, because I don’t engage the correct muscles or something. Stretching the neck and some exercises help to counteract.
Also have you had your eyes checked? I’ve hear of some eye-brain disorders can fly under the radar, even if your vision is 20/20.
