I have symptoms that some people say are consistent with narcolepsy. However, all I have seen are people with severe narcolepsy, and I'm not as bad as them. I do have very vivid dreams that can be stressful to me. I can write whole books on my dreams because they are so vivid. They are so stressful sometimes that I wake up sweating. I can fall asleep quick. As in I can take an short nap, say an hour, and still dream. I do not sleep well at night and have very interrupted sleep. I have to sleep for 10-12 hours to feel even close to rested. Even then, I still have to take an afternoon nap. I have fallen asleep randomly during the day although it doesn't happen fairly often. Also, when I get too excited, work out too much, get angry, or overwhelmed, my legs feel very weak and can buckle under me. It is happening more and more often than it used to. I have also experienced hallucinations and temporary paralysis upon waking up. The hallucinations are more common than the paralysis. I have both auditory and visual hallucinations. This symptoms are starting to affect my sleep worse than ever now, and they are affecting my other health conditions. We don't have the money right now for me to get a sleep study done. Does anyone have an opinion? Does this sound like narcolepsy, just not as severe?
