Narcolepsy questions?


Does anyone know if the symptoms of nacrolepsy can be from anything else, like, lack of sleep? I get frequent sleep paralysis, hallucinations(every once in a while since I was 18--now 25) and extreme tiredness. But Ive been sleeping like 3 hours a night for the past couple of weeks, and I take long naps during the day. I have a sleep study in a month, but im still worried.

You can have daytime drowsiness, myoclonic jerks, hypnogogic and hypnopopic hallucinations without having narcolepsy.

Anything that severely disturbs sleep can do this.

Sleep apnoea
Depression
MySpace
etc.

Thankfully u are smart enough to recognize that u have a problem and sought medical help. Your sleep study will find out whats wrong and help u correct it. Dosent sound like narcolepsy to me, unfortunately I am familiar with that disease as my son has had it since high school and hes now in his thirties. Best of luck to you.
