Need some help about symptoms

Hi everyone. I just wanted to start by saying that I do actually work for a sleep specialist. That's why I'm here. I told the doctor one day that I had morning problems with not being able to distinguish reality from dreams and he did tell me that he thought they were hyponogogic hallucinations. I thought about this for awhile and then I thought maybe that the anxiety disorder I have suffered all of these years might be tied into possible narcolepsy.
I am tired all of the time during the day. I have resisted getting a sleep study because I know they will want me to have the PSG/MSLT combo and the thought of that makes my anxiety skyrocket.
On really bad days when I awaken while still dreaming, it takes me at least until noon to fully feel awake. It's almost like I am still dreaming until that time. I have very, very vivid dreams. I did sleep walk as a child and my husband has reported that I do scream out frequently while dreaming.
Can anyone help me out?
