i am diagnosed with narcolepsy well if it wasnt for cataplexy i would say i am misdiagnosed
because i have just worked out that i sleep in the day because i choose to, due to depression i think i choose to shut of from the world. all this week i have not slept in the day, as a passanger in the car i am usally sleeping within minutes well i can stay awake without to much difficulty, i have surprised myself how the mind has the ability to shut of.
I have had a couple of late nights this week that contributed to a sleepy evening last night but other than that i have stayed awake!!! yippee.
I am determined to sort out these issues i have with depression because its looking kike this is more of a problem to me than the narcolepsy, i am trying to be positive and i am trying to build my confidence on a daily basis by doing things or going places i dont feel comfortable with, they say life begins a 40 .....maybe yes .

Life does begin at 40!! I have been diagnosed with narcolepsy for 20 years and I am considered to be high functioning. I suffer from depression also. My thoughts are that narcolepsy and depression go hand in hand. Combination of being chronically sleep deprived (because of the lack of quality of sleep)and the chemicals misfiring in the brain would cause the depression. Just a thought.
