Almost everyday (typically in the afternoon), I experience what I have nicknamed "coma naps". This is because I fall asleep so quickly and sometimes feel like I have no choice. The sensation is like cement filling my brain until my body says "enough". While I am asleep, I sleep so deeply that I don't wake up for a few hours (2-3 hrs). I have had to be shook awake on some occasions. Other times I have slept through dogs barking, someone coming to visit, fire alarms, phone calls and alarms. I have been having these for 7 months now. I have to use sleeping pills at night to sleep, and I do sleep pretty good through the night.

Neurologist and family doctor are not concerned; however they leave me feeling uneasy. Especially with school is starting again and I have to get up in time to pick up my son at the bus stop. Does anyone else experience this?
