I'm posting when I ought to be in hospital... I canned the sleep study. I don't have narcolepsy, I have Tom-olepsy. And is afternoon napping so bad? At my age, some people nearly expect it!
My wife says I nap better than anyone she's ever known. I can fall asleep almost instantly, get awakened in 15 minutes, and hop up and go.
However, I don't get enough opportunity to exercise this wonderful talent, dang it.

I can't sleep with earplugs (tried that when I had feral neighbours who would start boozing at 8am and turn the stereo up full blast with their fave 5 Tina Turner songs... on repeat... all day... I just couldnt sleep with the plugs, even though they were lovely and soft... annoyed me more than the noise.Good luck. How about just closing the bedroom door and/or purchase a set of earplugs.
They do say the short naps are better if you want to wake up alert and feeling well though if you are sick or really sleep deprived it's good just to sleep a few days
My g/f has sleep apnea, as well as cataplexy... which has nothing to do with cats, lol
I went nearly 10 years with having my tiny, 6 lb girl sleeping on my chest, between my feet, pressed up against my side, sometimes tucked beneath my chin. Many mornings I woke up sore and stiff-jointed, but I'd give nearly anything to have those days again, I felt so loved.
Sue, I'm sorry Tom is being so difficult for you in this...
