I typed also a few things about the sleep neuro:

Saw new sleep neuro: Sleep study December 2016
Sleep Apnea
Settings were lowered.

I have dreamlets: hypnagogic or hypnopompic hallucinations.

Go into REM sleep early/quickly while still “awake”
Also likely narcolepsy

1 mg melatonin early in the evening
recommended no blue light in the evening (no tv or computer)
recommended sunshine in the mornings
wants me to go to a nearby medical school for CBT for help with getting to bed / sleep patterns / fear of sleep


Apparently, when they fall asleep, folks with narcolepsy go directly*
into REM (dream sleep).
This is perhaps why I have a hard time committing to going to bed ---basically I start dreaming (hallucinating) while I am still awake or right at the edge of sleep.

She needs to give me a script for a mammo gram
I stopped eating at 3:00 am. That should be long enough if she wants me to do a fasting test at 2:30. More likely I have to go to an outside lab.

ALSO NEED HER FOR FMLA paperwork but I might have to make a second appt for that because I do not have all the docs I need - maybe
