I think my internal circadian clock that promotes sleep at night is out of whack, I seem to sleep all day long.
I would sleep later, but I have to get up early for work and children to school.
That the only thing that gets up up every day. My mom always said "The only known function of sleep is to cure sleepiness" so she never took me to a dr.
Well, mono makes a person exhausted. never know, could be that.
I was thinking more along the lines of narcolepsy since it involves a decreased ability to regulate sleep-wake cycles
That's always a possibility too. My husband knew a man that had that at work, he would just fall asleep at work!
That sounds like he had cataplexy as well, that's a symptom of narcolepsy where a person loses muscle strength and falls asleep randomly.
Yes, and there was another man they knew that had that illness and fell asleep while cooking and set the house on fire. Terrible disease!
I knew a guy who had idiopathic hypersomnia who did the same thing! He always had excessive daytime sleepiness and he started cooking and sat at the table and dozed off!
I think this man actually died in the house fire, so it was just awful!
