Thanks, Suzie, for your detailed and very useful babblemail.
Regarding narcolepsy: I've never been that tired that I would fall asleep uncontrollably, nor do I exhibit automatic behaviour, sleep paralysis or cataplexy. However, I do have intense hypnopompic / hypnagogic hallucinations, plus I have very intense dreams, and I have calculated through trial and error that I start dreaming within minutes after falling asleep. For instance, I might listen to the 2 AM news on radio, which ends at say 2:05 AM, then fall asleep, and awaken from a vivid dream at like 2:15 AM.
The possibility of adrenal fatigue is completely new to me. This is my new algorithm:
(1) Normalise blood pressure through diet and see whether that helps. If not, then
(2) Investigate possibility of narcolepsy or adrenal fatigue with my doctor.Thanks again.
