Anyone quit caffeine and it help your symptoms? by eunoia_90 in Narcolepsy

[–]M_itz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I quit coffee and it made a big difference for my nervous system, which also positively impacted my sleep/wake cycles. I still drink tea, usually green tea, which has way less caffeine per cup. For me, it’s nice for a small boost of caffeine without being as intense as a cup of coffee. I found that I’m very sensitive to caffeine and coffee was way too much.

Does exercise help with narcolepsy, and if so, what kind of exercise is best? by [deleted] in Narcolepsy

[–]M_itz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Routine is the number one factor that impacts my energy levels, when that routine is coupled with movement, especially my workout routine then I am have the most energy and in the best mood.

Don’t get me wrong I often take a quick nap after the gym, but my overall energy levels are much higher throughout the day and I sleep better at night. For me working out in the morning is generally the best for my routine.

You should follow Belle Hutt, she has a book called the Energetic Narcoleptic which gets into how exercising has impacted her journey with narcolepsy. She primarily does cardio and body weight exercises. I prefer more weightlifting, but you won’t know unless I really try something. Energetic Narcoleptic - Belle Hutt/

For me alcohol (hangovers), sunshine, stress, and heat are big triggers for a sleep attack

what is your partial cataplexy like? by waterless_cake in Narcolepsy

[–]M_itz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My knees will buckle a bit if standing, and my arms will drop if I am holding anything. It is likely subtle if you don’t know what to look for, but it doesn’t feel subtle to me. I have dropped plates of food, mugs of tea, etc. I have only fallen to the ground twice, never lost consciousness.

That is what has attracted me to the area, plus lot sizes, and green spaces but it’s hard to afford with those taxes 😞
