[Lager]

By the way you phrased your question, I'd say that I have a problem staying awake (i.e. I can't sleep).

I tossed and turned all night last night, maybe got an hour or two of sleep max. I bet it sure helped my interview today 🙁

I have a hard time staying awake at my desk at work. Of course a reasonable workload would be nice.

only when reading your threads 😛

Ya, I have the same problem trying to stay awake when I'm tired. For some reason around 11:00 PM I just can't stay awake and fall asleep for 8 hours. Crazy, eh?:beer:😀

 

[amdskip]

Yes, I am tired right now.

in classes I alsmost always feel sleepy/node off unless it is interesting. I find bringing something to drink soda/coffee helps me stay lively.

I can't sleep. I gave up on my bed since I just lay there looking into darkness all night. I usually watch TV all night and doze off here and there. You would think I would be tired all day then but I'm not, I don't even get the food coma after lunch. It's been like this for almost 2 years. The most sleep I have gotten in one night was about 4 hours. The day before I did a bunch of work around the house, heavy lifting, cutting the grass. I really busted my butt that day and I only got 4 hours. I used to sleep? eh, I'll sleep when I die.

Whenever I feel tired I just take a nap for like 5 or 10 minutes... then I'm good for the rest of the day.

Narcolepsy is a debilitating disease that effects one out of every 100 Americans. It is characterized by a sudden onset of sleepiness, sometimes leading to a......*THUNK* ZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Man do I ever get the 'food coma.' Sometimes I nod off while reading these forums and snap back awake hoping nobody comes into my office! 🙂

Doesn't that seem a little high to anyone else?

 

[oboeguy]

Heck yes. Transparencies make me very sleepy when the lights are dimmed.

I am often not even tired when I fall asleep in class or other places. There is just not enough stimuli to keep me up and functioning.

Actually its between one out of every 1,000 ~ 2,000 Americans and on par with the incidence of Multiple Sclerosis. The disabling effects of narcolepsy are more severe than the deleterious effects of epilepsy when similar criteria are used for comparison.
