Idiopathic Hypersomnia or Narcolepsy
This are 3 of the words in a message from my Dr. I am to call him tomorrow. I have sleep apnea and was also diagnosed with Excessive Daytime Sleepiness, even with treatment I am falling asleep at work and in situations that is dangerous. I have a hard time waking up in the mornings.
I'm not going to lie, I'm pretty scared.
