MightyMouse Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 You should probably check in with your doctor on this issue--it's not a typical POTS issue, and can be a sign of narcolepsy or other neurological issue. Perhaps it just is a unique POTS issue for you, but still, you and your doctor should discuss it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michiganjan Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 I have a sleepy time some days and it is usually at dinner time. It is almost impossible to stay awake at that time. Sometimes I actually just give up and take a nap on the couch. If I do stay awake, after about 1 -2 hours, the urge to sleep abates and I can then stay up until normal bedtime. I do not sleep well at night these days and so it may be due to this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CyberPixie Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 Yes, you definately need to get checked for narcolepsy. Also, have you had your adrenals checked? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
