"Working full time and trying to raise a kiddo... makes having MS very difficult. Today he woke up at 4:30 am. I got up with him. Now I'm falling asleep at my desk. I don't think it's narcolepsy, because I don't have cataplexy when I'm startled, but I certainly have nodded off without knowing it. I've even fallen asleep while working and typed 'witch fingers' for some reason. (lol) More than once my head has actually jerked forward, or my eyes have closed, or I have a sleep jerk in my arm - right in the middle of trying to actually work on something. "
Hi @jensequitur, it must be so difficult trying to manage your health on top of juggling a full-time job and being a parent. One of our advocates, Tamara, is very passionate about the relationship between sleep and MS, and I thought you might be interested in reading some of her articles here: https://multiplesclerosis.net/author/TK-Sellman/ Thinking of you and hope you get some much-needed rest and sleep soon!
