Well, hello there

This is my first ever 'blog' so I'll get straight to the point ... I suffer from Excessive Daytime Sleepiness - and if you found my blog, well you must think you do too! At 40 years old, it's been a long road to finally get the diagnosis. I've gotten diagnoses of depression, and hypothyroidism so I addressed those over the years, and still I feel soooo sleeeppppyyyy. My friends would laugh, "Oh, Ang doesn't stay out past 9!", well, no, I don't. I have to be in bed by 9pm so I can get 10-11 hours of sleep! Then, during the day, I worry about staying awake and trying to function. I also would look for spots and opportunities I could take a 30-40 minute cat nap - church parking lots and parks were my favorites. And if I were really tired, I would just pull off onto an on ramp and stay way off the edge of the road. I even had a sticky note that I put on my window "Just napping" so people wouldn't bother me or think I was in some type of distress. This went on for years - does this sound like you?
