Hi ,

My husband is having his sleep study tonight - hopefully the doctors

will be able to help you both!

saw the sleep dr today

> So, I met with the sleep clinic dr today. He thinks I have narcolepsy.

He says there are different levels of it. I never just fall asleep standing

up or driving. I just sleep as much as possible. He said that a symptom of

narcolepsy is when I get paralyzed when I'm sleeping, not able to wake up,

but I feel like I'm awake but just can't move, and I think someone is coming

in my house. And, the fact that I sleep even for 10 minutes if I can. I

just set the alarm.

> So, I'm going in for a sleep study next weekend, the 6th. I can't have

any cafeine that day, or take any naps. Not too sure how I'm gonna do that!

Then I check in at 7pm, and stay till about 5pm the next day. They'll have

me take 20 min naps the next day every 1 1/2 hours.

> He said there is a chance I have sleep apnea, cause my brother has it.

But, he's thinking narcolepsy.
