Question
hi i suffer from morning exhaustion,i have a set wake up time but i feel exhausted with a very slight headache,for the 1st hour of the day im not very functionable till i start to wake up more, i take ritalin every day to deal with add problems otherwise i would feel very fatigued and unable to concentrate. i slept in a sleep lab and they told me to do sun therepy but nothing usefull cfdame out of it.on the occation i went to bed intoxicated i would wake up feeling refreshed,
please help i want to wake up feeling healthy and awake.
thank u

Answer
Apparently you may have a mild case of narcolepsy. I suggest you talk to the md who gave you the ritalin as you probably need a higher dose.  You might consider going to another sleep center and bring your most recent test result.  Go to sleepnet.com click on disorders narcolepsy, also go to narcolepsy network. org. feel free to email again karel
