Glad to hear you plan to get the health check Margaret. A friend of ours has a similar problem but insisted he could manage driving and never nodded off whilst driving - until the day he did and crashed the car on a bend in a narrow road, smashed through someones garden wall, overturned and just stopped short of falling down a ravine. He had no idea what happened but realised he had probably dozed off again. He was very lucky. He no longer drives and yes it must be inconvenient but inconvenient is better than seriously injured or dead.

I have a tendency to fall asleep at cinemas sometimes or in church (which can be very embarrassing) but I haven't driven for years.

I hope that there is something that can be done about it for you.

I used my mobile phone to wake me up if I happen to nod off for a bit in the afternoon.
