Am I narcoleptic?
I am a high energy, get things done kind of girl. But the moment I sit down and stop moving, especially when people are talking and
especially at work, I enter this daze and it is painful to make myself stay awake.
This is the case regardless of
how much sleep I got the night before. It’s very frustrating, especially when I go to
conferences etc…I want so badly to engage my mind in what a speaker is briefing but it feels suddenly more like their
voices and their PowerPoint presentations hypnotize me and lull me to deep REM. If I allow myself to close my eyes, I almost immediately incorporate the sounds I hear into dreams.
Yet at night often times I get a burst if energy and can’t seem to remember how to fall asleep. I’ve tried drinking more coffee, quitting coffee, and adjusting my sleep patterns but no matter how rested I am or how vivacious I feel, the moment my body hits a chair and must stay completely still and quiet, I am struggling to stay awake within 30 mins to an hour. Uncontrollably. Is this normal?
