[nabs-l] College schedule and sleep

[Derek Manners]

Sorry to hear about this. I wish I could give you some advice specific to the illness. However, this may be obvious but make sure your disability services provider on campus knows about this and has documentation. You may need it to get extensions or makeups etc. in the future. 

Best wishes
Derek

Yeah sorry it sounds really bad but, I want this to be clear. I had to get an EEG to rule out epilepsy. When I got the EEG we found out I had very weird sleep patterns. There were some days when I would get no sleep at all and others when I would fall asleep at 11:00 in the morning without being aware of the time. My neurologist determined I had non24 and put me on a supplement I have only been on it sins Friday. My body is far from adjusted. When I have a migraine I quite literally just crash. I have this seizure like thing then, I have to medicate quickly, and then I fall asleep. I can not help but sleep with a migraine so powerful.
