Narcolepsy Is Not What You Think. Technically, I have Idiopathic Hypersomnia (IH), but it is very similar to narcolepsy. Basically, many sleep disorders share the same characteristic: Extreme Daytime Sleepiness (EDS). But we usually do not fall asleep in our soup.

Sleepcation!
As you may know, I am a teacher in a high school. In the beginning of the summer, there was a chance that I might lose my job for next year because of layoffs. So, I made sure I had work through the summer at summer school and my second job, the post office. For the past 2.5 weeks, I have been working more than full time hours at the post office, because the boss was on vacation. Between that and being in a new relationship, I was exhausted!
This week, I am finally getting to enjoy my summer - now that it's almost over! My boss is back from vacation, and summer school is a faint memory. I have to work Wednesday & Saturday, but that's it for about a week or so. Plus, my new love is also on vacation (he is also a teacher) but he is in Florida (I miss him terribly!).
So, What am I to do with myself?
Answer: Sleepcation!!!
The first night I got home from the post office, I took a nap from 6 to 10, then I went to bed around 12 or so. I slept until 11 the next morning! Woot! I haven't slept like that in months! I feel so much better! I have been taking a nap pretty much every day since, and I'm loving it!
The only drawback is that I'm an extrovert, and after 2 days of this I was lonely and bored out of my mind. Turns out this is the week all of my friends are too busy for anything. One is getting married in 2 weeks, one is beginning his 2nd year in the seminary, one is about to start her first year teaching... I'm ready for my love to come home. I dream of napping in his arms! :)

Hello! I just found your blog and am super stoked to find another blogger! "Sleepcation" sounds great! This Saturday night/Sunday morning, my husband and daughter are going to be gone. I'm going to have the house all to myself. When I asked my hubby what he thought I should do, he replied, "You know you're going to fall asleep on the couch." :) Yep...mini-sleepcation! (Provided it doesn't mess up the sleep schedule TOO much.)
