I DO have sleeping problems, mom!

Sleep Test Results This test may help you recognize and detect symptoms of sleep disorders. The test is intended as a general source of educational information and does not contain medical advice. It should not be used for diagnosis or treatment. Getting an evaluation by your own personal physician is the best way to determine if you have a sleep/wake disorder.

Your Sleep Test Results You show symptoms of sleep apnea, a potentially serious sleep disorder. People with sleep apnea quit breathing repeatedly, often hundreds of times during their nights sleep.

You show symptoms of insomnia, which is defined as a persistent inability to fall asleep or stay asleep.

You show symptoms of narcolepsy, a life-long disorder characterized by uncontrollable sleep attacks during normal waking hours.

You show symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux, a disorder caused by acid “backing up” into the esophagus during sleep.

You show symptoms of periodic limb movement disorder, a disorder resulting in uncontrollable leg or arm movements during sleep.

This is what I got from a PhD Certified test. I told my mom, and she laughed, and told me that I am making this up, and I need to get help…Yet she won’t take me to a doctor to actually test if I have insomnia. Whenever I went to bed at 10:00, I lay in bed until 3:00am, when I FINALY fall asleep. She HAS seen it too. She is just brushing it off. I also have horrid bags under my eyes like I have been sleepwalking for a hundred years. Any adive to at LEAST get my VERY stubborn mom to take me to the doctor’s and test me for a sleep disorder?
