Narcolepsy


by: AB on Sun, Mar 02 2008

I’m actually not sure if I have narcolepsy, nor ever considered it as a possiblity. I am going to the doctor when my insurance from my new job kicks in to be tested for it. I only fall asleep during the day or during wierd times if I haven’t had enough sleep the night before. I have even fell asleep during sex before. (Very embarrasing, i might add.)

I fall asleep so quick, like my head hits the pillow and i’m out, sometimes its very hard for me to wake up, sometimes i wake up often. I have dreams and sleep paralyzation upon falling asleep and waking, mostly falling asleep, and still awake.

At first, I thought I was having seizures after that was ruled out, i almost considered it to be demon possession. It is still very strange and scary. Upon falling asleep, (while i am still awake, its like noises become very loud, and i have scary visions happen and i can’t move or scream or even breath. Not sure if this is narcalepsy or not but I am going to get it checked out to see if there is an answer out there somewhere.
