I used to find that. It turned out I was just chronically tired. I couldn't sleep properly until I was exhausted. Once I was medicated, it hit me. It took a while to relearn sleeping. It might just be that you need more sleep than you think.

I have more symptoms than just difficulty falling asleep. Cataplexy during strong emotions is consistent, as well as night sweats, and some other things.

It was actually my PCP that suggested it. I was like nahhh that's impossible, then I learned it's not like it is in the movies. But then I lost my insurance so I haven't really had the opportunity to investigate it properly.

I'm pretty sure I either have narcolepsy or delayed sleep phase syndrome, but narcolepsy fits more symptoms.
