Hi,
I have to bring in a 2 week diary of my sleep , list of meds, list of vits and supplements, . . . I also have to figure out how I am going to get there. I checked google maps but I don't like the highway that the map chose, so I will take a highway that I am more familiar with -- this will likely take longer. I'll take my cell phone because this is one county over from me and the last time I was on that road was four years ago. The sleep diary I have is all over the place. It is not typical because this has been the most stressful work two weeks for the past 7 months. I guess I will write on the top of the form that this is not typical -- better than lying on the form and making up stuff -- that would be my instinct that I need to control. Mari |

Good idea to write its not normal. That way you will feel better. But you know its not normal for many to have the same sleep. Donna |

The neuro wants to do a sleep study.
He is even willing to do it in the day time when I sleep: 5:30 am - 2:00 pm. The problem is that I have teeth problems that I have to take care of and I can't do both right now. Teeth seem more important this moment. Still, I have to think about this. Mari |

The neuro said that I have "delayed sleep phase syndrome" -- like to sleep in day instead of night.
He said 15% of people have this. Sometimes it is inherited. Most of the time it is a learned behavior. He can help me unlearn the behavior IF I WANT. I told him I'm not happy with the way things are but I'm not real motivated to make any changes; I only made an appointment with him because my pdoc told me to. M. |

Hi, Bizi,
I presented in his office totally hung over and sleepy as all get out. I'm not even sure how I got there safely in the car. I should not have been driving. I was too sleepy to even answer his questions properly -- good thing he often sees patients in my condition. I read some more about delayed sleep syndrome and I don't think I have it. I CAN sleep earlier and often want to. I choose not to. It is something very deeply hidden in my psyche. The tdoc and I made a little progress the past two summers but not too much because I was resistant. The sleep doc was a hyper person. Sometimes I like that. Sometimes I found it annoying. He was confident that he could fix things for me -- after he did a sleep study and collected some data. I'm not sure. He does the sleep studies right in his office. His assistant showed me the 3 rooms (looked like hotel rooms) where people sleep and I saw the computers outside the rooms where the tech people watch. The problem is that he is very far away (over 80 miles round trip) and a big hassle. I have to be very motivated to commit to treatment. I'm not sure I have any motivation right now for anything except to get through each day as best I can. I am very tired right now. I took a three hour nap already tonight. Maybe I really should / could go to bed right now. I'm depressed too. Maybe sleep would help. Mari |
