Do you experience daytime sleepiness?
Being sleepy throughout the day is the worst symptom that I go through! I have to carry extra strength caffeine mints with me at ALL times!
Hi
. Do the mints help? Have you talked with your doctor about the fact that you are still so fatigued during the day? Wishing you the best. - Lori (Team Members)
I have fibromyalgia and do not sleep soundly therefore I do get sleepily during the day.
Hi
. In many of our sister communities, we call that painsomnia. Has your doctor ever offered you any medication for relief? Wishing you the best. - Lori (Team Member)
I had insomnia for 20 years. I've always had difficulty waking up even as a child. Never felt like I got enough sleep. As long as I keep busy and doing things that are exciting I'm okay. I used to hypnosis tape to cure the insomnia. Even though I was sleeping I would still had daytime sleepiness. I was diagnosed with sleep apnea, and even though I use my CPAP machine religiously I still have daytime sleepiness. I believe I have some form of narcolepsy.
Hi
. Have you ever asked your doctor for further studies? Here is a wonderful article that describes how narcolepsy is diagnosed: https://narcolepsy.sleep-disorders.net/diagnosis. I hope it helps and that you get answers and relief. Warmly, Lori (Team Member)
