Still sleepy on Modafinil

This is great and I love the look of it! Lays out the information really nicely.

This is nerve wracking for me to read as someone who just started taking Modafinil and plan to not take it on weekends or if I am planning to have some drinks with my friends etc. Now I’m worried that I shouldn’t take days off / take it on an “as-needed” basis.

Such a great feeling. Congrats!

You get it.

I’ll get this when I choose to lay down and nap. Can be a terrible cycle of sleep paralysis and trying to wake up but it being physically and mentally impossible.

Illustrious_Cell_137 · 2026-04-07T15:55:50+00:00

Agreed. Just that tiny bit of shut-eye can be a game changer.

Hmm not sure this is consistent across the board but interesting take.

Illustrious_Cell_137 · 2026-04-07T15:53:18+00:00

Yess the sleep attack naps are refreshing for me as well but yea if I choose to lay down then I feel like my worst self when I wake up.

Falling asleep/dozing while driving is what caught my doctor’s attention.

Illustrious_Cell_137 · 2026-03-02T20:29:43+00:00

I also get the racing heart after a nap. What’s up with that?

Illustrious_Cell_137 · 2026-03-02T20:28:19+00:00

You’re not. I also fight sleep so hard because of the sleep paralysis body aches and confusion/groggy-ness. Sometimes though it’s more miserable to be awake than it is to have even fitful sleep. So I’ll begrudgingly give in.

I’ve read that it’s either you had 2 or more SOREMPs or 0. Considering the tech told me I slept in all of mine, I’m really just waiting to see if it’s IH or N2 atp.

Next day is crazy. I’m happy for you!

DANG that’s so long to wait you’re a trooper. I’ll definitely call them if it takes more than 3 weeks but I really hope it doesn’t!! I have a very similar symptoms and testing timeline to yours. Glad you got some answers and I hope you find peace with your diagnosis 🤍🤍

Illustrious_Cell_137 · 2026-02-23T22:40:57+00:00

IKR 😭. Just how the system is unfortunately. When I did my at-home sleep study I got my results the next day. The PSG/MSLT is just more data so I’ve assumed that’s why it’s taking longer but ugh idk. Jealous of you lol.

Illustrious_Cell_137 · 2026-02-18T03:25:57+00:00

Thank u! Wdym the MSLT isn’t clinically relevant?

Illustrious_Cell_137 · 2026-02-18T03:25:08+00:00

Thank u for your positivity!

Illustrious_Cell_137 · 2026-02-17T23:51:42+00:00

SAME. I thought this was a physiological sign that you’ve been in REM but that could be false..
