Thanks for the reply. I have taken the sleep test on this website, and the third suggested cause was Narcolepsy. I guess I'm not sure of all medication that I've ever taken, but I am on no ongoing medications. Since this had started fairly recently (within 7 months) and I have not taken any new medication in years. I'm pretty much an aspirin kind of guy and that's about it.
The post that originally got me onto this website is here: http://www.sleepnet.com/narco7/messages/743.html and this quote from it is exactly how I would describe my issues.
"Sometimes I succeed ...but then I get this horrible disconnected feeling. It is like I am in a bubble...seperated from everyone else. I am listening to someone talk but nothing registers in my brain! I can't think or do simple tasks sometimes. Like I'll try to microwave something and can't quite remember how to work the darn thing! Or i'll get in the shower and get wet and then realize I still have on my socks and underwear! Can anyone else relate to this hazey drugged disconnected feeling?? (I am not taking any medication at this time so the foggy feeling is purely natural)"
Except I never actually fall asleep.
I'm waiting for my insurance to kick in before I'll consult any sort of specialist, but thanks for taking a look at my post. I understand people here are not doctors, it's just extremely frustrating situation.
