Answer
You could be suffering from narcolepsy, the uncontrollable urge to fall asleep at inappropriate times. You need to go to a sleep center to have an overnight sleep study, your local hospital can refer you. Go to sleepnet.com click on disorders narcolepsy, then go to narcolepsy network.org, and talk about sleep, all these have great information.feel free to email again karel
