sleepy Ali
thank you for sharing, your post reviels some depth to the sacrafices we were forced to make because of our disorders.One of our biggest complaints is that people don't understand why being sleepy can be so devastating to our lives.I wish that i was brave enough to share in detail some of the devastation to my life that was a direct result of being "sleepy"...on the few occassions that i attempted to, the results only isolated me futher.
Society doesn't seem willing to accept that being "sleepy"can cause more than a little discomfort for a short period of time..and most people are certain that would go away if we got some sleep at night like everybody else.
I must shamefully admit that i havn't done a dam thing to educate others to the truth of my suffering,,solely because i'am not strong enough to handle the negative responses,and hope only to coast through the rest of my life without dealing with that issue,i guess that means that i have no right complaining that others don't understand.
sorry to sleepy to finish/to dum to save so i post and fininhlater rvw
