I have noted that my husband has somewhat similar sleep patterns---waking up early and being hyperactive and then getting really tired. Thank you for writing about narcolepsy----only 10 minutes of REM sleep......

We tried Melatonin awhile back and it made my son worse. He lightly sleeps all night long. When he fully wakes up he comes into my room and crawls between my husband and I to play with my hair. I think it relaxes him, but not me. I used to love that he played with my hair, until my hair started to fall out excessively. Now we find out my husband has Narcolepsy; thus, we believe my son has it to since it is genetic. Will be finding out soon, thankfully. He had an EEG and it found that he gets 10 minutes one time a night of REM sleep. In children, narcolepsy shows in forms of hyperactivity and less sleep, and then can change in their teen years. But yes, sleep would be nice! Haven't had any now in at least 2-3 years. I think it has made me an insomniac. I only wish my son slept. We tried Melatonin awhile back and it made my son worse.
