Are you sure you weren't actually asleep? I sometimes have what I can only describe as lucid sleep at altitude. I feel like I'm thinking about stuff but actually it's just super vivid and realistic mundane dreams...
Whenever I sleep a I've 3000m I tend to wake up a few times gasping for air during the night. I'm obviously not actually suffocating but somehow my brain decides that I am in its sleep state.

5,000m is the highest I have slept for a few nights and 3,650m for 10ish days and it seemed common people were having lucid dreams, some of them pretty wild, I didn't suffer but funny how it affects different people so much. One of the people said it was far worse than when he took high doses of Larium and he thought that was bad

Don't think so. It didn't help that there was a full moon that was like a spotlight shining down on me. Was just staring at the stars for what felt like hours. Definitely got to sleep at about 3am but I crawled into my bivy at 9pm, so it just felt like forever. But maybe I was asleep. Who knows.

Yeah, it was really bad. Just lying there, eyes closed but just nothing happened. Surprisingly, wasn't that sleepy the next day though - just a bit short of breath when I got to about 3200m. Would've liked a day to acclimatize before hiking but didn't have time.
