Had sleep study-no diagnosis

Posted by Sleepyhead on July 01, 2001 at 21:27:33:

I have extreme daytime sleepiness...I can easily sleep 16 hours/day. I had an overnight sleep study, as well as the "nap" test, HOPING for an answer & a treatment. The sleep doctor called me the next morning to tell me it showed nothing abnormal. He's now assuming it's sleep deprivation and wants me to do a 5 day test to see exactly how much sleep I need. I sleep more than anyone I know...how can I be deprived?!?!?!? I don't know what to do from here...if the "sleep doctor" can't find a cause or solution, who can?! Just feeling hopeless...
