Sounds exactly like me :P

I slept in my first college course last semester every day, one at 8:00am, the other at 9:00am

I'm positive I have narc w/o cataplexy, I just tested negative for apnea last week, so it's narc or something even rarer. I have wild hallucinations when falling asleep and I slip into REM sleep so fast it's not funny, so I can't think it's anything but narc. I should have an MLST scheluded soon.

As for the cicadian rythym, I could swear I'm on Tokyo time, I'm tired yet wide awake after about 8:30pm. Lately I've even had a real hard time getting to sleep of a night.

I'm also curious if narcolepsy and insomnia can co-exist and cancel each other out ^_-
