I don’t think that I have narcolepsy due to my difficulty falling asleep in any setting and no cataplexy. I only become lethargic and tired in the morning or when I am not stimulated enough. I do drop objects frequently, but I think it is because I forget that I am holding them! I can avoid dropping objects if I concentrate that I am holding things (which I always do with something that can break and never drop things when I am concentrating. The only time I ever head-nod is while driving and during continuous school lecture if I am not actively doing anything such as note taking, answering questions, or playing with little toys. Otherwise, I am completely incapable of taking naps. I just lay there with my eyes closed no matter how tired I am until I just get frustrated and give up. Perhaps, due to my 4 straight years of taking sleep medication and becoming physiologically dependent (not psychological dependent) to them.
I guess I have never really talked to my doctor about my driving and morning arousal problems. Usually my life is so chaotic that all the time is spent assessing and treating my fluctuating moods (except I complained nearly every visit that I couldn’t concentrate). When it was calm, I went 4-6 months without an appointment. When I got this job, it was the first time, we had delved into non-mood related issues such as ADD. Only because it became an emergency that I was unable to do my job! that maybe it wasn’t normal for me to spend days completing assignments which took others hours or to be stressed out about projects weeks in advance and only be able to focus on them a week before deadline. that maybe part of my anxiety was the inability to filter out thoughts and ideas and complete things. I always attributed this to my moods, but throughout my life pattern realized that this was 24/7 365days, just got worse during mood swings.
Anyhow, I think I will write a letter or something. My mood is going south, so I am sure that will be the only discussion topic in a month >_<.
THANK YOU so much for your help today. inspired by you, I am going to write my doctor a letter about my sleep concerns and fiddle with that web blocker so I do not stay up all night today doing mindless web surfing 
of course, after I finish this project…*whistles and looks around*
