Glad you are having a sleep study. Hopefully, your neurologist will find something to help. I’m having a sleep study done the end of June to find a breathing machine to help with my central sleep apnea.

@SusanEllen66 good to hear you are getting a sleep study!

Here’s the thing with narcolepsy (if that’s what’s going on)- you can sleep a full night and still have excessive daytime sleepiness because the narcoleptic brain drops right into REM (rapid eye movement) phase of sleep without spending enough time in the other phases of sleep.

My younger sister has narcolepsy (since childhood at least or since infancy if you ask our mom!), and one of the clues to her diagnosis was when she described how she dreams immediately upon falling asleep.

Your description of falling asleep during the day reminded me of her- so it’s great you’re getting the sleep study as a start.

Oh. That does indeed sound like good old narcolepsy. What you describe. I used to fall asleep on the toilet. I managed to get a subdural hematoma that way. Another I got up 5 am. All set to take my mother to the doctor. Boom. Asleep on her toilet. The whole head bobbing thing. I was in the process of fighting with the insurance company over Modafinil coverage. Talk about feeling embarrassed. I'd had coffee knew the route. And she finds me sound asleep on the toilet. She asked what drugs is taken or if I was drunk. Nope. I just fell asleep. Sorry. Happens. Just like that. Sitting at a table reading and eating and suddenly you realize you're about fall onto a slate floor. That truly sucks big time. And that is narcolepsy. Still happens later in the day because the Modafinil is not working so well anymore by that point. And I never take it past noon because it destroys my ability to sleep at night completely.
