Default Some questions.....

Hello- I don't know why I didn't look for this forum earlier. I'll look through the old threads but..........

2mo ago, I had a sleep study done; dr. only found 2-3 instances of apnea thru the night. They found that I only spent ~5.5% of my sleep in the deep, restful sleep we need. "Normal" is spending 16-20% of a nights sleep in that deep sleep. So, I may be sleeping, but I'm not getting rest, if that makes sense. They had me stay for a Multiple Sleep Latency Test, which I failed miserably. The Dr said that if I went into REM sleep, I would be narcoleptic. However, I didn't immediately go into REM sleep, so it was Dx'ed as Idiopathic Hypersomnolence (he said it was almost like non-REM Narcolepsy). Put me on Provigil, which helped. Any other recommendations, etc, on things that woudl or should help?
Thx,
Dabbo
