Potentially, but probably not. Wernicke-Korsakoff psychosis is marked by severe amnesia, both being unable to create new memories and retain old ones. This is not a symptom of schizophrenia. Hallucinations and confused senses are signs of both schizophrenia and Wernicke-Korsakoff psychosis, but a doctor should not assume that a patient with confusion and hallucinations has schizophrenia.

How prevalant are Hypnagogic hallutionations misdiagnosed as schizophrenia if the hallutionations not related to sleep apnea just lack of regular sleep such as sleeping to long and still being tired?
It is very rare to misdiagnose hypnagogic hallucinations as schizophrenia. There are many other criteria and qualifying conditions that must be identified before a diagnosis of schizophrenia would be made. If you are seeing hallucinations you should see a qualified health professional and have a blood test to find out if you have the right levels of vitamins/minerals in your blood. Lack of B1 can cause a person to see hallucinations. If you are taking medication or if you were on medication/drugs they could cause you to see hallucinations especially if taken in significant amounts.

What is the difference between Social Anxiety Disorder and Asperger's Syndrome?
Schizoids do not want friends but are generally not anxious around people and can act "normal". This does not mean that they do not suffer from social isolation, or that they do not feel lonely. People with Aspergers want to fit in but find it hard because of their bad social skills and awkwardness. More important, people with Aspergers have characteristically rigid thought patterns and a limited range of interests. This makes it difficult to comprehend metaphor, which is taken literally. It also presents difficulties for engaging in abstract thought. Schizoids, on the other hand, are richly introspective and often have elaborate 'inner worlds' that they use to engage indirectly with the world, responding to its challenges by proxy. They are fully capable of abstractions and do not have the rigid thought patterns characteristic of the autistic spectrum.
