"Episodes" of brain fog, spaced-out/"unreal" feeling for about a week.

Hello,

I'm a 15 year old male with no existing conditions and I am without a doubt very healthy and always have been, but I've been dealing with something for a little while that I need desperate answers to, so I hope you guys can help.

Let me begin by FULLY explaining my symptoms/circumstances as best I can in order to hopefully get some answers; FINALLY. So about 2 months ago, I began to notice an extremely slight feeling of general confusion, which I can best describe as the day to day tasks I usually preformed were just me, "going through the motions" so to speak, and at the end of the day I didn't really remember or couldn't focus on much of anything I did that day, leaving me feeling that everything was felt artificial and overall extremely weird. Although, those feelings passed for about a week or two and I didn't put much thought into it. Although, this past week, on Sunday, those symptoms came back very strong.

I had already been feeling a bit "out of it" that day, so I relaxed almost the whole day. At around 8-9 PM I drank a Gatorade, (sealed), and a few sips in, I started to feel jittery and eventually pretty spacey. Trying to ignore it, I took a brief shower, too tired to really stay up any later, then fell into my bed, eyes heavy and very happy to be laying down. At this point, my symptoms were the worst they'd been, I felt like everything was fake, I was beyond spaced-out and had a severe spell of brain fog. Within probably 3 minutes, I was knocked out. Since it was a holiday, I was able to sleep in, and I slept until about noon, which isn't that unusual for me. I got about 11 hours of sleep in total and I felt pretty good to be honest. From that point throughout the week I had on-and-off days of having this feeling. I have times where I'm becoming forgetful and where I'm unable to focus. For example, yesterday I was walking down the hallway in my school and when I began to focus just a bit, I felt completely zoned-out, like I was 100% distant and non-existant to everyone around me. 

The only thing that really gets rid of it, (temporarily) is when I'm doing something I enjoy, such as working out, socializing, playing games, watching sports etc. But as it goes on, I'm becoming more and more sleepy and paranoid over what it could be. I really hope you guys could give me some answers and I'd be happy to answer any questions you may have that'd help me solve this bizaare problem of mine.

Thank you.
