Thanks for all answers. I have been out of the country (to somewhere that hardly had internet...) so I haven`t seen them untill now.

Now there don`t seem to be a sleep lab where I live, neither are there specialists in sleep disorders or seizere disorders (well, of caurse there might be someone, but they don`t market them selves as such, so it`s hard to find them). There are specialists in epilepcy, but you can only see one AFTER you have been diagnosed with epilepcy... There is also an EEG lab, where I have been and have a new appointment, but you don`t get to see a doctor there - only some thecnichan than operate the machines (I will ask them about the MSLT, but I doubt that they ever heard about it...). Is this normal or what?

And about loosing conisousness or falling asleep: How do you know the differense? Because my self, I am not sure. It`s definatly not like fainting. And about other symptoms: I think I suffer from automatic actions. I handle thing, always putting them in the right place, but I have absoultly no memory about it.
Well, I have to catch up some work no, but thanks for all your consern.
