Philip, I don't know about you but I know that if I sleep more than 9 hours in a night I will feel sleepy most of the day. Too much sleep really effects me. The depression cycle sounds like what might be happening to you. But, I'm not a doctor.
One major symptom that I hear being very common amongst us Narco's is when we feel that overwhelming sleepiness coming on - If we go to sleep, we'll most likely wake up in 5 minutes or so and be fine for a while. If you find yourself sleepy ALL DAY or take LONG naps (1 hour or more)
then I'd say you may have something else going on besides Narcolepsy. Only an M.D. can answer that for sure. Even that's questionable!
Good Luck, Vern
