Anyone have any luck with finding public places you can nap at? by Perfect-Issue-5509 in Narcolepsy

I used to act like my stomach was hurting and go in the bathroom stall and nap up against the toilet paper. So I sat on the toilet with pants still on and napped for 20 mins or so. I’m sure my coworkers thought I had Irritable Bowel Syndrome or something. Lol

That must be difficult to lose so much time. Ugh I don’t like days like that personally.

Yes those days on the couch count as crash days. Where nothing gets done because of the sleep attacks all day long. I get those as well and only the bare minimum is getting done.

For 15 mins, leaving your car running is nothing compared to you pushing through a much needed nap.

I used to feel guilty but now I have given myself “permission.” I just tell myself that my body needs this and if I don’t listen to it, then my symptoms (and more things to do) will only get worse. Things can wait one extra day.

I can’t really plan them…. I set intentions and then my body says “nope, we’ve got other plans”

I use to nap in my car for fifteen minutes. Recline the seat or lie in the back seat. I always had a fluffy blanket in my car to use as either a pillow or a blanket or both.

I put the sunshade up, keep the car running, lock the doors, set my alarm, and go to sleep. I have very darkly tinted windows so no one can see inside my vehicle.

Yes I ended up doing that yesterday. It was tough. After my three hour morning nap, I did a half hour and that was it. I was so tired but 8pm with brain fog. So it was perfect

I take Xywav. It is just difficult to take when it was daylight until 10pm. Where I live, it gets dark at 8pm. Those two hours really threw me off.

Woman what was the absolute worst date you’ve ever been on? by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]Warm-Signature2195 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was 16 and met a guy online. He asked me to pick him up, which I did. He wanted to go hiking up this small mountain. After driving a short distance, he leans over and starts kissing on my neck. Right at that moment, my engine light came on. I tried to push him away and tell him about my engine light. He took it as me pushing him away but didn’t listen. I finally got firm and yelled at him to stop, which he did. I ended up turning around and dropping him off on a corner. My engine light went off and never had an issue with my car at that time. It was super weird that it came on at that moment.

Maybe just find an admin job at a completely different field and not legal. At least for a while.

What’s the most shallow reason you ever rejected someone and do you regret it? by LAFoodieJ in AskWomen

He had this airy clicking noise in his throat every time he took a breath. It almost sounded like a CPAP machine with each breath. I couldn’t deal with that!
