Moreover, I hate being tired all the time and not being able to keep my eyelids open. It's incredibly frustrating that all my body wants to do is sleep. I don't want to have to take the legal medical version of speed to function regularly but nothing else seems to be working. Bleh. I need to finish some statements.

I'm at work and I'm trying to stay awake. I know, I know. I'm always trying to stay awake while in the act of [insert important activity here]. But, today, I took Benadryl at lunch because I thought my throat was going to close up completely. Now, while it's not much better, but certainly not worse, I'm thinking why did I take diphenhydramine? I'm a hypersomniac taking over the counter sleep medication in the middle of the day. Brilliant thinking. When faced with the option of not being able to breathe, or not being able to stay awake at work, I would choose not being able to breathe. They can't fire me for that.

You made another post! Nice one. I get tired all the time too, but what's weird is that it passes if I keep myself occupied for like 15 minutes. And I'm talking like extreme exhaustion, feel like I can't do anything but go to sleep but sometimes thats not an option. This ever happen to you when you get tired but can't sleep?
Well, I actually have been diagnosed with Hypersomnia. It's sort of interesting if you want to look it up. I see a new neurologist about it on Monday who is probably going to try to load me up with speed.
So, I'm always trying to keep myself occupied to make sure that I don't fall asleep, for instance, while driving. That's become a real problem for me. Sometimes there's only so much I can do.
A small vignette: I was on my way home from work one night and I was starting to feel my eye lids fall, and I still had at least a half hour to go. So, hearing my mother's voice in my head, I opened the window and turned on a favorite cd and started singing the words. Well, don't you know, my voice was so lovely (ha!) that I down right sang myself to sleep! Of course, in the car, and usually always when it's inappropriate, it was only for a few seconds, but I promptly decided I needed to try something else and thanked goodness that I didn't kill someone in the process of finding that out.
There have definitely been times when I've been so tired and cannot sleep. Often, I find it's related to however I'm cycling. If my anxiety is high, I'm running manic but had a long day, or sometimes even when I'm depressed, I feel so exhausted and just can't get there.
But since the hypersomnia really started, I basically can't stop sleeping. Every day and more is a challenge. It just sucks.
