I had a sleep study and am waiting for the results, but the tech saw a lot of time in rem sleep. i dream a lot even during naps. any significance?

Sleep disorder: Do not know why sleep study was ordered, but if you have rapid onset of REM sleep and dreaming, this might indicate narcolepsy. Do you suffer daytime somnolence, and inability to resist napping during the day??
