I have a sleep test tonight for my drivers licence. The instructions says no sugary drinks after breakfast. I forgot that and ate desert plus drank 500ml iced tea at 10 am, is it going to affect the results? I will go to sleep between 8 and 11pm

Because next appointment is like 4 months.

    Narcolepsy is also under-diagnosed. The main symptom is excessive daytime sleepiness but lots of people (myself included) go years thinking they just like caffeine more than most people. It’s also an autoimmune disease that’s often triggered by a viral infection, so I’m expecting statistics to show an increase in narcolepsy symptoms post-COVID.
