i appreciate this account because it's closer to my sleeping issues. I have not talked to a sleep specialist because all the stories I hear are about people who fall asleep during the day randomly for 15-minute intervals. But I tend to sleep 10-12 hours a day and then take 3 hour naps, which sounds a lot more similar to estefy's story. I think now I can feel more comfortable reaching out. Thank you for sharing!
This sounds EXACTLY like me. I failed out of student teaching last year because of it. I loved being a teacher, I have wanted to be a teacher for as long as I can remember. Now I have to reexamine my entire life and figure out what I want to do. I will have my first sleep study next month.
Ohhh wow…I decided to not go to medical school because I started getting fatigue. I just didn’t know about it because I was afraid I’d be too tired and wouldn’t get enough sleep. I sleep 10-12 hrs a day with 3 hrs naps. I also got a biology degree. 4.0 gpa. I’m getting a narcolepsy test tomorrow. I can’t survive without coffee either. I thought it was my meds too. It’s not.
