i have bipolar disorder and take medication for it, and the combination of that causes my sleeping patterns to be erratic, and i sometimes sleep through classes and miss assignments. like...it might sound dumb, but it's legitimately not caused by me being lazy or irresponsible, it doesn't matter what time i go to sleep, it happens anyway. so i'm getting an official status based on it to show professors that i'm not just being irresponsible.
idk, it sounds kind of like a cop-out when i explain it, but it's something i seriously haven't been able to control no matter what i do and i'm getting fed up with it
edit: to give a bit more explanation: in depressive phases of bipolar disorder (which usually last weeks to months), you become incredibly tired, to the point that during them i sometimes sleep 16 hours or more per day and still fall asleep during the day
