I fell off my perch - Do I have narcolepsy?

Post a new topicby peter.s on Fri Jan 16, 2009 7:07 am

I musy have fallen asleep and fell off my chair. I had to have six stitches in my forehead and the ambulance driver says I lost about 1.5 Litres of blood. I am now in my early 60's but this has been going on gradually since my late teens. My EEG says no signs of epelepsy. I am continually tired and wish to close my eyes from sore eyelid edges. Any advice or suggestions are most welcome.

There are lots of sleep disorders that cause daytime sleepiness. I would suggest seeing a sleep doctor so that you can have a sleep study prescribed. In my humble opinion, it will only be by being tested while you sleep that you can know for sure if or what sleep problems may exist. I hope you can find a solution.
