Another sleep study

Post by skittlesmcgee » Tue Feb 21, 2017 6:47 pm

Went to see the doc today and he thinks I may have narcolepsy. That would explain having difficulty staying awake while walking, driving and sometimes talking. Now I get to go in for another sleep study this Saturday. Does anyone have experience with narcolepsy?

No personal experience but I suspected that I did have that condition. My sleep study doctor assured me that I didn't.

That said, it is my understanding that the study needed is a standard sleep study during the night and then a multiple sleep latency test the following day.
