Question: Has anyone been diagnosed with wrong type of sleep disorder?o not sleep at night (frequent awakenings, cannot fall or stay asleep) more than 1-2 hours. I was told that I have depression, SAD, cirrcadin sleep disorder, eating disorder and excessive daytime sleepiness. Two polysomnograms confirmed the sleepiness. After much research, I truly believe I have some type of narcolepsy with both primary and secondary symptoms i.e. fall asleep during classes, have to sleep in my car between classes, hallucinations, memory loss and a close relative who does have it. Any ideas as to what or where I should go to be effectively diagnosed with anything at this point in time.

The symptoms and diagnosis are similar to how my condition started out. Have you been tested for apnoea? That is another one it could be. I suggest that you look for a specialized sleep clinic in your area (from your G.P. or by yourself). The symptoms that you have could be linked to a variety of conditions- find a sleep clinic and get more tests. It doesn't sound like narcolepsy to me (I'm not a doctor but have had to do my own investigating of my illness). Allergies can cause some of those symptoms and so can depression itself.Anyway, a sleep clinic can test you there or send you home with some cool stuff that you hook yourself up to before you sleep. Ask your G.P. for a referal to a specialized sleep clinic.
