11:38 PM good night!

Last night, I woke up to pee but was not hungry. Did not have to drink milk or kefir in the middle of the night and my glucose come morning was at a very good level.

First, woke up at 7AM as usual with my first alarm. Then, decided to stay in bed for a little longer. Ended up sleeping until 8:40AM and then waking up w/o an alarm and feeling so rested that I did not need Ritalin today. Oura shows slightly over 1 hr for each REM and deep which for me is pretty high and good.

Saw the pdoc and reported how well and how gently Ritalin is working. He was visibly pleased. And I am thankful to him for trying to find a solution for me even though narcolepsy is not his speciality. I will see my sleep doctor only in July and she does not respond to messaging through Stanford health app. I messaged her, I messaged her assistants, all to no availl.
