Not sure what's going on?
You don't need a diagnosis to start keeping track
Maybe you fall asleep in the afternoon and can't explain it. Maybe you sleep all night and still wake up flattened. Maybe you've been told it's stress, screens, or your own lack of discipline, and none of it fits.
NAP can't tell you what's happening — that's genuinely a job for a clinician. What it can do is help you build a clear, honest record of your own days and get through them in the meantime.
Three steps, no pressure
A gentle way to begin
1. Write down what actually happens
Not a sleep study, not a score. Dates, rough times, whether you slept on purpose, and how you felt before and after. A week of honest notes is more useful in an appointment than a year of trying to remember.
Open the journal2. Plan around the energy you have while you wait
Waiting for answers can take months. The planner works today, with no diagnosis and no account: three quick steps, four honest buckets, and rest treated as part of the plan.
Open the planner3. Take something concrete to an appointment
Bring your own record: how often, how long, what it costs you, and what you've already tried. Export your journal as a CSV or PDF-ready page so you're not relying on memory in a ten-minute slot.

Worth knowing before you go in
- Excessive daytime sleepiness has many possible causes. Some are common and straightforward, some aren't, and none of them can be sorted out by a website.
- You do not need to know what to call it before asking for help. "I fall asleep during the day and it's affecting my work and safety" is a complete sentence for a clinician.
- Being disbelieved once doesn't mean you were wrong. Written records are often what changes the conversation.
- You're allowed to rest while you wait for answers. Rest isn't a treatment decision — it's how you get through today.
