Falling Asleep While Eating Lunch!

@becsbuddy thank you. It just occurred last week.
However, I do tend to do the same thing when I’m scrolling through the internet in the evening. All of a sudden I wake up with my finger on a page/product I didn’t notice before. It’s really quick, I actually dream or something for that split second!
When I am scrolling on Amazon or eBay, it can be “dangerous”. I almost bought something once!
I’m going to bring it to the attention of my neurologist. I have nerve damage from the Vasculitis. So we will see.
Thanks

Do it SOON!!
You’re going to wake up in an intersection with cars coming from both directions.
Your sleep apnea is easily the equivalent of a 1.0 blood alcohol and yes, sleep apnea, Benadryl allergy meds, sleeping pills from the night before, anything can be ruled as having been a contributing factor in an accident.
Even if you’re sitting still at a red light, and someone plows into you, since fault in a MVA is not declared right away, blood may be drawn from anyone in the MVA, dead or alive and all or part of the responsibility can be pinned on you.
See you doctor ASAP, us Uber until then.
You sound like you’re in a very severe phase of your illness for some reason and right now it should be the number one thing of importance in your life.
No joke.
Oh! Your description of nearly accidentally buying things online sounds just like my sister too (the one with narcolepsy). When she’s sleepy- say early morning or getting towards bedtime- she can have a lot of “automatic behaviors”. Often related to eating for her (esp. in the morning)- you should see some of the bizarre/weird/strange food combinations she comes up with when she’s sleepy!

@becsbuddy my neurologist is sending me for a sleep study to rule out narcolepsy.
I’m 73 years old so I’m not sure how I fit the profile for it, but my body is pretty strange…
