Narcolepsy Test: Just another day in the life of a person with chronic illness.

 This is me looking super hot this morning during my sleep study (to test for narcolepsy). Tests like these are very common place for me and yet I am never used to being examined, I feel like a guinia pig! I have to test to see if I have narcolepsy so today I have to spend the whole day here and try to take naps periodically through the day, it sounds easy enough but it's on 7:13 am and I'm already bored!  I will keep you updated (partly to impart knowledge and partly for boredom).

Update 1: My first nap opportunity has come and pass. I didn't fall asleep, it's freezing in here so I think that is part of the problem because I feel like I could sleep. I asked to have the heat turned up and have gotten another blanket so I'm hoping I can warm up a bit!

Update 2: Just had my second nap opportunity, I dont think I fell into a deep sleep but I definitely felt like I was on the precipice of waking and sleeping. I'm still tired, but warmer!

Update 3: I had my third nap opportunity, felt like I fell asleep for 5 to 10 minutes. I had a dream. Boring updates but not much to report.

Update 4: I just had my fourth nap opportunity, I don't think I fell asleep but at the same time I feel like I may have dozed off. I only have one more nap to go and then I am done! I am getting so bored, I brought a book , my iPhone and a tablet but it's just so boring in here! I think this is going to be my last update (of the test, I will update when I get results in a few weeks). I just want help, I want to have more energy and not be tired (literally) all the time! I have a headache and I'm ready for this to be done. I had very nice technicians though, so that is a plus.
