I am ADHD with narcolepsy. This was a real problem with my ADHD diagnosis because I often lacked the "H" except in socially stimulting situations.
Without meds, I tend to be very tired all day and am prone to nodding off. Going to sleep at night is sometimes instantaneous or it can take hours. So my answer to the poll was "other".
With the narcolepsy, I rarely linger in the rejuvenating stages of sleep. I tend to go straight to REM and wake several times a night. When I had my sleep studies, I adveraged over 30 cycles of waking and going to REM each night. I can't remember a time when I ever woke up "refreshed".
