?narcolepsy: You likely possess a sleep disorder and your description most closely correlates with narcolepsy, but some other sleep disorders might be considered. Both diagnostic confirmation and treatment are fairly straightforwards, and outcomes are truly excellent.

See below: Sleep paralysis, if often, usually indicates disruption of sleep and it can point to an underlying medical issue such as sleep apnea or narcolepsy. Good you are seeing a neurologist to discern if this is the case, especially since excessive daytime sleepiness is present. Try to regularize your sleep times ; avoid caffeine, nicotine, ; alcohol near bedtime. Hope that helps.
