This is really interesting. For years I’ve had issues with “excessive daytime sleepiness”. Despite what feels like sufficient and high quality sleep I’ve fallen asleep in way too many inappropriate situations, e.g. singing in a chorus during an instrumental section where we were permitted to be seated; jury duty; etc. A few years ago, I had a sleep study to rule out narcolepsy. It didn’t show anything other than wriggle my feet (which I’ve done since childhood). The doctor prescribed Provigil for times when I was afraid falling alseep would be dangerous (e.g., driving on a long trip). It was very helpful for ADHD, but pooped out in the afternoon. I’ve found Concerta more helpful.
But I’m still really interesting in the sleep issue. It’s only recently that I’ve realized the falling alseep problem is (presumably) ADHD-related.
Gee, now it’s time for me to go to bed!
