Answers:
It sounds to me like you could have a kind of epileptic seizure called 'petit mal'!. In Petit Mal seizures you sort of 'zone out' for a few seconds and look to others like you're just daydreaming but you can't be woken up from it like people that are daydreaming generally can!. Usually people afterwards have no memory of what was said to them during the seizure or what they did!. These can happen many times throughout one day, or could be less frequent!.

Maybe you could bring this up with your doctor!? I have a cousin who has petit mal seizures and his doctor referred him to the hospital who gave him medication!.

All the best, I hope you find the answer you're looking for!.

you could be experiencing hypnotic driving!. My husband does that a lot!. Does playing the radio help!? Or keeping the wind blowing on your face!? Perhaps you should hold off on the driving til you know what to do so you don't get hurt :( Takje care!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It sounds like ADD, attention deficit disorder, which I believe to be a misnomer!. The person has such an ability to concentrate that they turn everything else off!. You are probably very intelligent!. A lot of stress in your life adds to this effect to make the zoning out worse!.
Long term sleep deprivation, say 2 weeks or more of consistently not getting enough sleep can have the same effect!.
Do you ever stop on green and go on red!? I suggest sleep, sleep, sleep!.
If you go to the doctor they could put you on Ritalin which is in the same class as morphine, meaning it is a strong drug!. Long term effects of this have not been adequately tested and I know that other psychiatric drugs cause long term brain damage!.

Herbs : I suggest Gingko Biloba!.
It helps direct more blood flow to the front of the brain and also to the inner ears which helps tinnitis, ringing in the ears!. One month of using Gingko Biloba when you need to be alert has been reported by some to make a world of difference!.

If your sleep cycle is messed up try being outside during daylight hours to build up your seratonin levels and then you could take l mg melatonin one half hour before bedtime!. It more frequently comes in 3 mg tabs, but some people remain drowsy the next day if they take 3 mg!. I used to bite my melatonin in half!.

To relief stress related symptoms taking B-50 or B-100's with adequate water will help!. Also supplementing with L-Lysine 500 mg will help alleviate stress reactions or the effect of too much arginine like from excessive peanuts over an extended period of time which can make the skin on your fingers crack!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
