Sleeping Disorder
Is there any questionare online that can help determine if you have narcolepsy or any other sleeping disorder?
I have problems falling asleep at night. It's like all day long I want to sleep, have had the occasion where I just drift off completely even while doing work, or driving. I have no energy whatsoever. When night time comes I seem to have all this energy out of no where and end up not wanting to sleep, or just have a hard time trying to get off to sleep. Lately I have been waking up a lot in the middle of the night, and again come day time all I want to do is sleep. It's like my sleeping pattern is in complete reverse and I never really did anything to make it that way. Lately it's just been getting worse and worse, no improvement, that's why I wanted to look into it because it's affecting my over all state during the day. Low concentration, unable to stop yawning, not being alert, and just episodes of drifting off completely, sometimes not even realizing it or remembering doing so. Now it's also gotten to the point where I can't determine whether I had dreamed something, or if it was something that actually happened and I thought it was only a dream.
If anyone knows what may be going on or causing this, don't hesitate to give me your suggestions.
