I guess these things don't completely rule out subclinical thyroid problems, but they make me suspect narcolepsy instead.
EDIT: case in point, last night I slept from 11:45PM to 11:30AM, with a brief 30-min period of waking in which I drove my fiance to work. ;(

I don't see how it can be narcolepsy, are you falling asleep during the day while wide awake?
As far as thyroid, the ranges have changed in the last few years. It used to be anything over a TSH of 5 was abnormal. The AACE changed the range to anything over 2 as abnormal.
It is also possible to have a normal TSH and still have hypothyroidism. Its based on your symptoms, not a lab number.
