TLDR; it feels like psychological torture trying to stay awake at work and doing school work what accommodations do i ask for?

hi everyone! i’m currently having to schedule an appointment with a sleep doctor to get a sleep study done for narcolepsy. i’ve been tired all of my life and have these sleep attacks through the day where it starts out as yawning but to where it’s practically psychological torture to try and force myself to stay awake. i constantly think about even if i can find somewhere to lay on the floor at work and sleep with how bad it is without being caught.

unfortunately my sleep attacks have been coming to a head and affecting my every day more than usual mentally, emotionally, and physically where it is getting harder and harder to stay awake at work for the full time without a sudden attack or trying to stay caught up in my online masters courses / staying awake during tests / homework assignments.

i really do not want to get fired if i get caught sleeping at work or fail my courses but like i mentioned it feels like torture trying to stay awake. what accomodations should i reasonably discuss with my doctor and ultimately school / work??

Hey all, I’ve following this subreddit for years bc I’ve always found this hobby sick. I’m wanting to get into riding myself (based out of Indiana), however I’m 4’11 is this going to make it more difficult to find a bike that I fit / isn’t too heavy?

I was looking at the Liv Tempt in the XS or S. Not sure on the model though.. I see Tempt 1 has hydraulic brakes for 1k and the 2 & 4 don’t.
Is this a good first rig? What gear should I be looking at besides this?

• ⁠New build or upgrade?
New Build
• Existing parts/monitors to reuse? (List with models/links)
I have 2 monitors currently and a keyboard
• ⁠PC purpose? (Gaming, editing, etc. List apps/games)
Software development, CAD, (might do light gaming.. haven’t decided yet if so it’d be Forza and COD if not on my xbox)
• ⁠Purchase country? Near Micro Center? (If not US, list local vendors)
USA and yes literally down the street
• ⁠Monitors needed? (Number, size, resolution, refresh rate)
Not needed
• ⁠Budget range? (Include tax considerations)
Wide range from 2k - 3.5k. Hoping to stay on the lower end but realistically I want something that’s going to last years (and look aesthetically pleasing since I have to stare at it for a while lol)
• ⁠WiFi or wired connection?
Wired
• ⁠Size/noise constraints?
Hoping for something not terribly loud since it’ll be in the living area of my apartment, but I can handle some noise.
• ⁠Color/lighting preferences?
All White build. Doesn’t have to have RGB, but I like the look of the fans when they’re set to one solid color
• ⁠Any other specific needs?
I like the look of the Lian Li O11 Vision (or Compact) case, but I’m open to other case ideas / sizes
