The tests we have done so far have established what it isn't. Now we need to do some more tests to establish what it is. This is not as bad as it sounds. It's actually good news to find out that it's not my heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, or visible brain damage. I was a little worried about that last one since the event that appears to have triggered this thing was when I pitched forward from my recliner while asleep and landed on my head three times in three weeks back around the first of this year. We're not positive, but how we think this happened was I woke up, leaned forward, and then fell back asleep before I could complete the move. Of course, correlation does not establish causality, but it's the best explanation we can come up with at the moment.
There are a few other things wrong with me, but we have decided to put them on the back burner until we get this sleep thing figured out. Meanwhile, I have been making an effort to get up from the recliner in one continuous movement instead of hesitating on the edge. It seems to be working because I haven't fallen on my head since the last time over a month ago.
