Narcolepsy Support Group
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.
Hi, I am new to the group. I have suspected for a long time that I have narcolepsy. I was diagnosed with severe sleep apnea two years ago. Even using the CPAP machine I have only been able to sleep 4-5 hours max. During the day I find myself nodding off throughout, but only for a few minutes. My doctor put me on modifinil which I only take if I am going out of the house or if I am driving because I am afraid of dozing and I take so many other meds this is just one more. But it does help. To make matters worse I was recently diagnosed with PTSD, so not only do I just wake up in the middle of the night, I am also plagued by nightmares which cause me to wake. I am always tired. Can you describe your symptoms?
