When you're having a flare-up and you have to let people down and you bloody hate doing that but you know that, realistically, you have no choice.

Idiopathic Hypersomnia

I finally have a diagnosis after my doctors appointment following up from my sleep study. I don’t usually post anything personal on my blog, (in fact I almost exclusively just reblog memes and fandom shit) but I’m getting nervous after trying to find things on the internet about this. It’s been ruining my life for almost five years, and I’ve been reading that apparently since it’s really rare they just aren’t willing to do much research about it and so it’s just gonna suck really badly for the rest of my life? I’m already having to drop out of college because I would rather do that than fail out like I’m at risk of because of this. I just want to know there are other people out there who have managed to find a way to live their lives with this.

Excited to go to my sleep doctor and inform them that treating the sleep apnea has done very little for me and I'm still sleeping upwards of 11 hours a night on a regular basis and oh yeah I still have sleep attacks from time to time

Me at all times of day: feeling sleepy, sleepy when I take napping At sunset, I thought to myself, "Fuck sleep; I'll never need it again." I am a god.

fun with narcolepsy

If you're not narcoleptic but you're curious how it feels, this is a summary of the kind of attack I had today. It's not always like this, but this is a fairly normal example.

this is tiredness/fatigue rather than sleepiness but i cba to check whether someone's put out a better sleepiness scale than the fucking epworth in the last few years

Imagine, metaphorically speaking, that you're in that blue-green bit at the bottom when you suddenly notice an amber-coloured flash out of the corner of your eye. It does not approach; it remains in the distance, like an amateur paparazzo trying to scope out a potential celebrity subject. You're relatively secure in your greenness, though, so maybe it'll be fine.

Spoiler: it is not fine.

At first, you are still physically capable of behaving as though you're near the bottom of the chart; you're just still seeing that threatening glow in the distance. Then, all of a sudden, a switch flips to black.

Maybe some little glimmers of deep red. Mostly black.

Time passes. It could be seconds or hours. The only emotion you have is somewhere in the range of fear or embarrassment at having fallen asleep in public again, but you're too exhausted to actually process that feeling. You may or may not be hallucinating at this point.

The switch flips unceremoniously back, and you're thrown straight to the greens without any time spent ascending through orange or yellow. Maybe somebody noticed; maybe they didn't.

Your notes look like a cat walked over your keyboard.
