Hello,

Recently I have been falling asleep randomly usually in the mornings. I would be at my work, and they next thing I know, I wake up. I don't remember falling a sleep. It's like someone just turned me off like a light bulb Sometimes I have dreams which some of them I fine myself acting out when I wake up. After a few times that this happens, I tend to get headaches. Going from being fulling awake to REM sleep in seconds then awake again isn't good for the brain. REM sleep usually takes 20+ minutes to reach when you are sleeping. I tend to get there in seconds. It does sound like narcolepsy. Although, this just started a few months ago.

Any ideas of how to combat this or what it is, I would greatly appreciated.

E.
