Hi, i'm new to this site, I found it when
I was doing a search on insomnia symptoms.
Most of the stuff I found seemed to be
what i'm going through these ones seem to
relate most to me.
I'm lways tired during the day.
I have trouble falling asleep.
I wake up in the middle of the night and
have trouble getting back to sleep.
I have bad concentration during the day.
I'm irritable and edgy during the day.
I also seem to suffer from short term
memory loss but since I haven't asked a
doctor about it yet I don't know if that's
what it is. I was wondering if anyone
could tell me weather this means I might
have insomnia or something else and if so
what I should do about it. Thanks very
much.

Darkserena,
sounds to me you may have some form of
excessive daytime sleepiness (eds).
Really the only way to find out for sure
is to go see a sleep specialist and have a
sleep test done. He may prompt you to
have a multiple sleep latency test (mslt),
which would follow the next morning, after
staying all night for the psg. Of course
the doctor has to make the decision of
what test you need. But past experience
with patients tells me that's the case for
you.
But I suggest you look around, don't
settle with any Dr. Of course there are
terrible one's, but there are also one's
who actually care for their patients.
