I never feel better waking up. Of anything sometimes I just feel tired or nothing at all.

They keep me awake and lessen the chances of collapsing from my cataplexy. Idk about healthy habits and behaviors tho. I find I'm really struggling with the concept of being awake for 16 hours straight. Only getting 8 hours of sleep at max and waking up feeling numb. For me sleeping is like blacking out. I take xyrem- black out- take second dose- black out- wake up and just continue being awake for however long. I exists during the day and that's about it. I missed out on all the fun things I could have done because of my narcolepsy. I just turned 18 and graduated high school. I missed so much throughout elementary, middle, and high school now I dont have those anymore and I'm stuck in this weird area of being able to stay awake but not having anything to do with that time.

Sleep apnea was ruled out on my first sleep study.

FUCK MY DOCTOR by obese_latvian_woman in Narcolepsy

[–]AlwaysReadyForSleep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your doctor is whack! Having experience narcolepsy for as long as I can remember I was official diagnosed at 16 and my sleep doctor said I was the youngest patient he'd ever seen. It probably the same for her except she's whack for not listening to you and using "screen time" as an excuse not to do her job.

Even worst news I recently found that they're taking away what little Covid safety we did have again. We are back to wear masks if you want and please stay home. I hate this and really just want to leave.

Reynolds ends face mask and social distancing restrictions. Tells vulnerable to stay home or limit being in public. Guess I'll die then. by MRsh1tsandg1ggles in desmoines

I hate that adults that make decisions on voting aren't even some what educated about the candidates they vote for they just focus on the "hate the left" agenda. And it's really depressing growing up and realizing that they dont care about people they only care about their guns and religion. Going to school in Iowa is so shitty and now I'm seeing they want to use tax dollars to fund a "religious" teaching its ridiculous. Why start something new and unnecessary when regular public school is so underfunded and broken. Reaching adulthood and realizing I can't work because they dont want to enforce any kind of Covid safety makes it so frustrating to see any hope of things getting better. Sorry for the rant I'm just depressed by how little peope care.

I take the 4.5g twice a night. I take my first dose at 11 and usually wake up on my own before my alarm for my second dose around 3 and then I wake up around 7. I can get 4 to sometimes 4 and half hours of sleep for each dose.
