This sounds like it could be narcolepsy. I believe three years ago the cutoff for MSLT average sleep latency was 5 mins. or less. It was changed recently to an average of 7 or 8 mins. for all naps. Even at 7 it would put you in the narcoleptic range. You have other symptoms that point to narcolepsy also.

You may want to get a second opinion with a board certified sleep specialist, preferably one who is also a neurologist.

Best wishes,
