I also believe from everything i have heard from DH sleep specalist that most people with excessive day time sleepiness are actually from having sleep apnoea at night and being so sleep deprived.
DH also can't in the evening stop moving or he will fall asleep = i found him last night sitting on the floor cleaning up the toys with his hand reaching out leaning on the edge of the toy box - he fell asleep trying to put the toy in.
He is a lot better then before he was diagnosed (then he would do it at like 5pm), but the night before he forgot to wear his CPAP mask and hence was bad the next day.
The dr said he has patients constanty fall asleep at traffic lights etc, one was a pilot who fell asleep flying a place (EEK!)
It is all from sleep apnoea, but not narcolepsy, i believe those are people who actually look like they are putting it on but literally just fall asleep randomly (like from Moulin Rouge)
How did your sleep study go?
Do we want the name of this sleep specalist? Or i can refer you to a good ENT surgeon who operated on DS.
