Go off into a trance when trying to learn
I am 48 and my whole life I have had this issue. When I am trying to learn, whether it be reading, listening, in a class room or watching a training video. I get very sleepy. Almost like I am going off into trance. I can't focus, have bad comprehension and recall. I end up feeling lost. It kept me from going onto collage after high school. Now I need to improve my job skills to stay competitive.
I have books and other training materials available to me. I start to use them but never finish. What can I do to over come this. I get plenty of sleep and have a regular healthy diet. But as soon as any type of learn takes focused. I get a sleepy, trance like feeling.
