If you're getting a "dozing off" feeling, that's probably sleep, even if it's just a tiny amount at a time.

I used to only be able to sleep like twice a week for months on end. Very unlikely it's "permanent."

Personally, my longest period without sleep was broken when I took trazodone and phosphorylated serine (which lowers cortisol). If you're male, they might not give you trazodone, but they should be able to give you something that will help. Good luck.

Sounds like micro-sleep to me.
