Do i suffer from Narcolepsy.!?

Question

so every summer i find myself not being able to sleep, i usually sleep 4 or 5 hours and i'm always tierd during the day. I don't have a sleeping time i just go to sleep when i can, and sometimes when i'm really tierd i can't sleep.!

So my question is do i have Narcolepsy.!?

Or is it that i can't sleep because my body isn't tierd since i hardly do anything during the day except being home.!?

I don't know.!

Help.!

Answer 1

No. Narcolepsy is when you just suddenly fall asleep anytime, anywhere and have no control over this.

What you suffer from is disturbance of your sleep/waking pattern.

I suggest you try to re-establish a regular sleeping/waking pattern by going to bed at regular times and getting up at regular times as well. Don't sleep during the day as this will disturb the pattern.

All the best!
