Narcolepsy Support Group

dont be worried i was the same and for the first time under pressure i could sleep so they kept me in for a few days and observed turns out i had Narcolepsy quite bad id never heard of it b4 lol i did however have cat attacks because of my nerves so im sure all will be fine please try not to worry its not a problem honestly and you will find the staff real nice well i did anyway so goos luck

I was worried before my test, and I didn't sleep that well at all. They managed to get what they needed though. I found the bed to be very uncomfortable and the pillow was awful too. You might want to take a few extra of your own. I didn't have any problems with the nap tests at all. I was really surprised how quickly I went out.

I SLEPT AT ALL 4 OF MY TESTS. THINK OF IT AS A NIGHT AT YOUR FAVORITE HOTEL. AND THE TV REMOTE IS ALL YOURS.

It was a great chance to sleep lots. I was not so nervous, but mostly because I thought they idea that I might have narcolepsy was ridiculous, so I was just looking forward to finding out what actually is wrong with my sleep.

It turned out that it was not such a ridiculous notion that I may be narcoleptic

For my sleep study, I napped on the hour long drive to the sleep clinic (which the apparently recommend you don't do, because they want you to be able to sleep that night). It did not matter though, because I slept the entire night through, all 5 naps the next day, and I had troubles staying awake between naps.

Honestly though, there is nothing to worry about. The people will be very friendly. It's a bit awkward (especially if you sleep on your stomach like I do), but think of it as an opportunity to sleep your little heart out. A good book and puzzles help for entertainment between naps.

Best of luck! Don't stress about sleep, just relax and try to feel as normal as possible.

probably to late but bring your own pillow(s)...
