  • What is Narcolepsy? Narcolepsy is a disorder in which the ability to regulate sleep-wake cycles is impaired, so the normal boundaries between sleeping and being awake are weak, leading to frequent lapses into sleep and the occurrence of elements of sleep while a person is awake.

    Very nice summary. I always wondered why I could naever stay awake, for decades while in the Navy and being a professional engineer. It's now been 40+ years, and finally after going for a sleep study in 1995 I understood why. Don't ignore this. You will ALWAYS be tired. ALWAYS.
    Well, likely not uplifting, but maybe it helps someone. I am 62 years old, and been afflicted with this my entire life. It's easier before being an adult, completely horrible as a working adult, and still terrible in retirement. Sleep is a sometimes acquaintance. Always tired, unless you take amphetimines, and those are always incredibly expensive.
    Well, enough of that. Narcolepsy is a no shit problem. Apologies for posting, but if one person gets advantage, I have paid my dues to the future.

    I had episodes of multiple sleep paralysis in a row while falling asleep, I'd wake myself up shaking it off just to fall into it again
    Like an unending assault, getting more tired with each instance of sleep paralysis and being unable to actually sleep. It sucked, but was sort of fascinating at the same time.

      If you only had a sleep paralysis episode once in several years then treatment’s not necessary
      But if it becomes more frequent or you have trouble sleeping then you should talk to your doctor about it

    Ok so here’s my theory on why I have narcolepsy and nobody else in my family does:
    My body has a lot of tension. If I stop thinking I stop breathing because I actually can’t just breathe automatically. I actually have no chill because if I do I get cataplexy. I’m alive but I can’t really live and my only respite from the pain is sleep but even that is plagued with nightmares, sleep paralysis, tossing, turning and waking up so I can breathe again.
    My brain is trying to achieve the state of mind you would have when you are in the womb and trying to grow. I get sleep attacks to force my mind to shut down (and in doing so eventually I will stop breathing) and for it to suffocate. Why suffocate? This will cause my brain to fire off signals to the body to convulse and wake up, but more accurately it is trying to connect to the body in a less tense manner.
    It’s a bit hard to explain but I held my breath for a while to stop myself from breathing. I did it long enough to for it to feel like I needed to have a seizure. Part(s) of my brain that I don’t usually feel felt like they’d awakened, albeit briefly, from a long slumber and part of my chest felt looser. I held my breath for as long as I could, feeling my brain activity going crazy, then gasped deeply for air. I felt like part of my lungs were being used for the first time!
    The tightness in my chest is more on the right side and I feel like not a lot of oxygen goes to the right lung (evidenced by an observation I made whilst in a swimming pool. When I inhaled, only the left side of my chest rose above the water and when I exhaled it was still only the left side of my chest moving)
    BUT this time it felt like I was breathing like how I do sometimes in my dreams, even though its never happened in real life.
    I didn’t really do anything to deserve this torture but I’m listening to what it means and where it comes from as best I can. Narcolepsy may have undone my ego but it has put me on a unique life path that I will one day be able to say was all worthwhile!

    Entering(submersion 3 times with a certain prayer and crossing yourself) in water springs of orthodox saints(which are near or in monasteries)give very much power and sureness to people with depression, panic attacks, Tourette sindrom,narcolepsy, schizofrenia and other soul illnesses before getting to the eucharisty that heals all soul illnesses. There are some springs of mother of mother of God that also heal all soul illnesses. Spring at the Monastery of st. Paraskevi at Tempi in Greece is one of many springs of saints in Greece and in Balkans. If you have chronic fatigue it is from masturbating, watching pornography, hate etc. 99% of all illnesses are from soul. Soul illnesses can be enherited or from sins. If you can not go to the church because of the illness you can call the priest to your home to give you eucharisty if you are baptised orthodox. If you can not go to a spring of orthodox saint you can buy sainted water and pour it on your self or sainted oil and apply a little on your fronthead
    If you have diseases, bad luck, impotence, you can only have a discussion with the same person, etc. it can be from witch spellings. In the Zlătari church in Bucharest, every Wednesday at 17.00 it is read the akathist to St. Cyprian and st. Justin against charms and all demons. This akathist can be ordered at any other Orthodox church if you are baptized Orthodox.
