sleepwalking

Gosh, i feel really lucky!  All i do is sleep talk.  I once woke up with that sleep paralysis a long time ago but it has never nappened again.
 
Was the Narcolepsy bit for me littlemo?

Never had any problems with sudden urges to sleep.

Waste of time talking to my doctor about anything like that.
He'll try and fob you off about anything as long as he can. Have some other health issues which aren't being dealt with properly, so no hope with that. "Lots of people get that at some stage" is all I get.
In the process of trying to find a new GP though, so who knows!
:)
 
cazzer I know what you mean.. Seems to me most doctors main priority is how quick they can get you out the room and the next body in.. This is also true for specialists in my experience and from what others tell me :(
 
:-/  Sleep problems in general are not dealt with very well in this country, and it is sooooo important, had one or two chats with littlemo about this via messenger. I reckon most GP's don't take this seriously, they just give you sleeping tablets and hope for the best. ::)
 
Narcolepsy can hardly be described as a series of naps during the day:)  Arn't there cases of people sleeping for days, weeks and months on end?   Isn' it a very dangerous condition where you ahve absoloutly no control and simply fall asleep.. this can be right in the middle of somehting....can last a minute or two or be a lot worse


Its not a case of feeling sleepy enough to ahve a nap during the day. :)
 
no Harry, what I was referring to is the way we can confirm it, if cazzer was over here and show signs of sleep paralysis, whe would be getting checked out for narcolepsy and what I was decribing was the process that we would take
 
Wow i must admit this has really opened my eyes on this subject.No pun intended.Really interesting is this subject.I did not realise that it was so closely researched
 
oohhhhhhhh yeah! anymore questions?!! have only been in the field for a couple of years but am addicted to it! Only problem is while i'm staying up all night investigating people for thier sleep problems, am ironically creating my own!
 
I once slept the clock round. Even heard the ice cream van and thought i was dreaming. I have never lived it down. I have trouble getting to sleep and trouble getting up once i am.
 
Our daughter not only used to talk in her sleep but fight in her sleep with fists proper flying.
She even once washed her hair while sleep walking.
 
Wow, i feel pretty lucky, as i dont sleep walk are talk  ;D

I have a few friends who do on the other hand ..  ::)
 
:) Yeh, I feel quite lucky too, the only sleep problem I have is that I don't get enough. Like littlemo, night shifts can take their toll. I do a couple of weeks of nights every 6 weeks and after an 11 1/2 hour shift usually get 3-4 hours sleep during the day, which is no where near enough. Being on call is worse, as you work an 8 hour day shift then on call all night, so you just get to sleep and your phone rings and you are off out again, and still expected to work the next day if you are rostered on.
Usually catch up on sleep when I'm in meetings [smiley=sleep.gif]
 
Anne I have done that after nights i have slept the clock round and woke up at the following morning 22 hours we worked it out at.
