A sleep disorder (somnipathy) is a disorder in the sleep patterns of a person or animal. Some sleep disorders can interfere with mental and emotional function. If you are having trouble falling asleep or having some other kind of sleep disturbance, this group is for you.
So I think I have narcolepsy with cataplexy, but I'm not positive, I was just wondering if the things that happened to me recently have anything to do with it or Im just messing with myself. So I had some friends over and we were playing ping pong, and we were laughing so hard because it was really funny, and we would be laughing and I would drop to the ground. This didn't happen just once it happened so many times while we were playing that my friends started asking if I was ok when I would fall lol. Even when I didn't drop I was fighting to hold my felf up because I felt so weak and drained. This also has happened a few other times Like in my kitchen I just randomly dropped to the ground and I also dropped in my family room. I REALLY want to get a sleep study done, but I'm scared that it will come back negitive and my parents will be mad that they spent so much money on it because they spent a lot of money to get my sister allergy tested and many other tests because she had a weird skin issue, but in the end they found nothing. what do I do???? Also do you think I have cataplexy?

Good luck on talking to your parents.
I've fallen to the floor laughing very hard a few times growing up. I don't think that was any thing physical though
Before getting tested why not ask a gp their opinion? I guess your in America if you have to pay?
Mmm.... Always good to investigate symptoms... In the UK you'd probably be started on a nine month waiting list to get some sort of medical opinion...
So... Maybe it's not so urgent, maybe it will pass? Perhaps wait and see?
Alternatively if you've got the money then just get it sorted ;)
Perhaps tape a few pillows to your bum and head to keep you safe yeah?
