I have changed my signature. It appears that I do not have true narcolepsy. My worsened sleep quality and increased sleep need were apparently caused by iron deficiency anemia. The sleep psychologist researched this issue and said it is possible. I then looked at my records of blood donations and indeed when I skipped donations last year, I improved a lot, sleeping better and needing less sleep. So for now blood donations are on pause.
