You are following a standard progression of exams for discovering why someone is pathologically sleepy\u2014which is what you are when you fall asleep at the wheel of an automobile. <\/p>\n<p><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">This next series of tests\u2014which will measure your sleep and REM latencies, that is, how long it takes you to fall asleep, and then, once asleep, how long it takes you to begin dreaming, are performed to test for narcolepsy. Narcolepsy is a genetically inherited condition which causes excessive sleepiness in inappropriate situations\u2014all of which\u2014I might add, you have already described. You have fallen asleep repeatedly at school, at work, and while driving. These are all times when sleep is undesireable\u2014to say the least! If you test positive for narcolepsy, which I suspect you may, you can relax in the knowledge that treatment for narcolepsy is safe, effective, and easy. <\/p>\n<p><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">I have worked with thousands of patients suffering from various sleep disorders. One of the most common remarks I hear after a patient receives treatment is \u201cI wish I had done this years ago.\u201d I am glad you are receiving treatment. In one month your problem is going to be completely behind you. Sleep disorders are one of the most successfully treated of all medical conditions! I hope other readers\u2014who are tired of being tired\u2014will follow your example. <\/p>\n<p><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Good Luck!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Back to <a href=\"https:\/\/damwebserver.com\/dreamdoctor\/articles\/inappropriate-sleep\/\" id=\"1513\" option=\"com_content\">original question<\/a><br \/>Back to <a href=\"https:\/\/damwebserver.com\/dreamdoctor\/articles\/narcolepsy\/\" id=\"84\" option=\"com_content\">Narcolepsy page<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","categories":[3226,3251],"class_list":["post-36495","articles","type-articles","status-publish","hentry","category-better-sleep-answer","category-narcolepsy-diagnosis-better-sleep-answer"],"acf":{"article_id":"1520"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/damwebserver.com\/dreamdoctor\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/articles\/36495","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/damwebserver.com\/dreamdoctor\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/articles"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/damwebserver.com\/dreamdoctor\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/articles"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/damwebserver.com\/dreamdoctor\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=36495"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/damwebserver.com\/dreamdoctor\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=36495"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
