I take a lot of naps but not uncontrollable. God Bless that the good doctor can help.

Uh, no that's necrolepsy. different set of issues there.
Not that I am in a position to judge. I am deeply involved in technological necrophilia here. Right here. Right now.

My grandfather had a form of narcolepsy.
He was a carpenter, so it was funny to see him sound asleep up on the roof.
Or with his head in a kitchen base cabinet. :-)
Just once or twice a week for 15/20 minutes.
Never nodded off driving, but supposedly did pull over and nod off.

[quote Dennis S]I think I might have it. I'm going to see the doctor Wednesday.
I don't have it - but I know a lot about it - especially how it's diagnosed and treated. Treatments can range from prescription stimulants during the day (usually amphetamines) including a new kind of stimulant that is not related to the amphetamines - called PROVIGIL. Also, one of the newer treatments is called XYREM - which is taken at night and supposed to help you achieve more restoritive/deep sleep.
If you'd like to know more PM me.

Many, many moons ago in college, a roomate complained he had trouble staying awake. He went to a local doctor and was diagnosed with narcolepsy and Ritalin was prescribed. (This was years and years before the diagnosis of ADD/ADHD became popular.) He improved markedly and was the most popular guy in the dorm around finals time when his "Study Pills" were worth their weight in gold
