Sleep study showed arousal 36 times per hour. treated for ptsd with remeron (mirtazapine) and prozasin. should i be on stimulant during the day for hypersomnia?

Can't tell with info: Unfortunately, the number of arousals does not correlate with the degree of sleepiness. Arousals are not the same as awakenings. Therefore with the information you've given me i cannot tell you whether you should be on any type of medication for hypersomnolence. That is something that you will have to discuss with your sleep physician. Best wishes.

NO NO: Need to find cause for arousals. Talk to sleep doctor. Ent and psychiatrist may be helpful as well.
