Funny one this

Has happened 3 times.

Fall asleep on the couch. Wake up, go to the toilet before going to bed. Then half way through having a tinkle i pass out. Then when i come round i cant remember a thing other than entering the bathroom

Should i be worried?

There is a well recognised sleep disorder, narcolepsy I think it's called. A bit of googling should throw some useful stuff up!

Could be a blood pressure thing, If your blood pressure is quite low when you go from laying down to standing quickly the blood could struggle to reach the brain, Thus passing out. Could be worth checking you BP
