My father had narcolepsy. He used to fall asleep while driving, especially on the freeway. He'd have to pull over and take a nap. My mother didn't drive, but knew the signs. He, also, used to collapse when he got one over on us kids, like when he won a game or played tricks on us. His legs would collapse under him as he was smiling or laughing at us. He was such a fantastic father. I miss him.😞😇😞🙏💝 Both my parents were terrific. 😇😇🙏🙏💝💝😞
Holy crap!! I straight up have narcolepsy. I have damn near every symptom you spoke of but the most amazing one is within seconds of not even noticing I'm falling asleep I have actual dreams and sometimes I have dreams over top what I am seeing because my eyes are not completely closed
I was diagnosed with narcolepsy following a sleep study. Sleep paralysis, hallucinations, everything. Falling asleep driving. I tried to be quiet about it because I was afraid I would lose my drivers license. Falling asleep suddenly and not being able to stop it. It caused havoc at work, and the worst part has been the complete and total lack of tolerance. "You keep quitting your jobs," said my brother. "I never quit. I am fired and told not to come back." I had a prescription but it kept me awake all the time. However, if I have to go on a long trip I take it to prevent falling asleep while driving.
@@Starseed243 Methamphetamine. I only take it in an emergency, like if I was unable to sleep all night and have to drive, to make sure I don't fall asleep driving. It really keeps me awake at night, but it does a great job of keeping me awake during the day. I don't have the level of problems I used to have since being on the ketogenic diet. It's probably been years since I had sleep paralysis. Good luck to you.
i suppose that it's too much powerful, you could try an other medications that allow you to sleep at night at least. plus if the medication it's too much potent that gives you insomnia it doesn't make sense because if you don't sleep at night you will be even more sleepier the day after. balance is needed
people really sleeping on narclepsy but really, we are really sleeping on them (saying hi to anyone who is also narcleptic! I have had type 2 since childhood representing :) )
My dad has diagnosed narcolepsy. When he did his sleep study like 20-25ish years ago, he entered REM in less than 5 minutes. I feel as if I have mild narcolepsy because Im always tired. I could nap for 4 or 5 hours and wake up and within an hour I want to sleep again. I think I would have type 2 narcolepsy though. No cataplexy that I've noticed.
theres non such thing as mild narcolepsy. the diagnostic criteria have slowly gotten more and more strict over the past few years. it probably has to be one of the only psych diagnoses that has gone that way lol.
I fall asleep suddenly while watching television or sitting in front of the computer. This has been happening for a few years now. I don't have this problem when standing up or driving. It does get worse though after a long trip as i am more likely to fall asleep while watching TV or computer after taking a long trip.
Me here to see if my parasomnia is narcolepsy. *This video soft spoken, gentle voice, moving at a slow pace.* 4:21 in and I don't know if I'm gonna make it through... I think I have my answer lol I'm gonna call my doctor. 😅😅
I would recommend that your doctor send you to see a neurologist. GPs know nothing about neurology. Trust me! They aren't as educated as previous generations. I refer to narcolepsy as hyper insomnia because that's technically what it is. I do believe, with time, that science will start leaning towards labeling it as such. We know what causes narcolepsy btw but it's taking time for the medical info to update itself. So we're still stuck with the same old stigma of the "EDS" bs. Both the wake and sleep cycles are messed up. It's only logical because we're not getting enough sleep. They need to start prescribing sleep medication for narcolepsy, equally with meds to help stay awake. That's already occurring with doctors (neuro's) who are up to date. They use to only give meds to help with EDS which is unethical. I have had it for over half of my life btw. I have type 1. My blood pressure was through the roof since my teenage years until recently! We're talking roughly 30 years now. Started taking sleep meds roughly a year and half ago. My blood pressure is excellent now. The lack of sleep was slowing killing me. I predicted many years ago that I would end up with diabetes due to the narcolepsy. Surely enough it happened! I wasn't getting enough sleep. As for yourself, I also recommend that you never accept over the counter diagnosis from any doctor. Make sure all the proper examinations and testing are done. You need to know 100% what's wrong with you. If you don't you will lose out on years, if not decades, of your life. And that is just the first step. Then you need to take control over the treatment plan. Do not be bullied by some doc who thinks they know more than you on what will work. As for narcolepsy, some treatments work better for some and less for others. It's literally a person to person thing. Like a high school student experimenting with drugs, you kind of have to approach it as such. Find out what works for you. Mind you, that's if you have this disease. I wish you the best.
@@sebastienbolduc5654 Hello, I have a younger sibling who lives in Korea and suffers from Type 2 Narcolepsy (with cataplexy and sleep disorders). In Korea, there aren't many cases of narcolepsy, so I'm trying to find information and came across this post. I apologize if the translation makes the message unclear. My sibling is currently taking armodafinil, a wakefulness-promoting medication, but even after more than four years of use, the symptoms remain the same, and weight gain has led to increased blood sugar levels. From what I have observed, their sleep quality has significantly deteriorated, and they are not getting deep sleep, which seems to worsen their symptoms. Could you provide information on medications or substances that help with deep sleep, specifically those you might use or recommend? Thank you very much for your assistance.
@@stellaancimer8505 I had a sleep study all night and then the following day until 6pm. I saw a sleep physician and a team of sleep scientists. MLST and a poly something test. Then you go for various breathing tests with a sleep scientist. I also need to see a neurologist, an ENT and a oral surgeon that is also a sleep specialist. I'm in Australia and it is a long process as it is a rare condition.
Should this be treated with medication or should we not use medication but just change our living habits to live with it? Please let me know, thank you very much
I think you should try and experiment and also listen to your intuition. I have clinically diagnosed narcolepsy and have tried different medications (sodium oxybate, modafinil, vyvanse) as well as lifestyle changes, and spiritual healing practices as well. A unique combination will help you heal / manage this condition! Currently what works well for me is Vyvanse, rest, spiritual practices and diminishing stress.
Can someone just be sleep deprived from another condition and get diagnosed with type 2? Woudnt you have to rule everything out there that creates fatigue?
Yes but narcolepsy is soooo different, a different sensation. I have been diagnosed with anxiety, depression and PTSD from military service. This has resulted in Fibromyalgia, chronic pain and chronic fatigue syndrome (all diagnosed). I recently went for a sleep study and finally got diagnosed with Narcolepsy, excessive day time sleepiness, sleep apnoea and bruxism. I have struggled for 20 years since leaving the military and it has taken that long to put the pieces together.
@@ktisaqt16 yea I got diagnosed with N type 2. I’m just skeptical because there’s no proof other than this person is really tired on an mlst, atleast in my case. Just worried something else is causing the tiredness…
@@Timayy then you need to go for tests with immunologists, rheumatologists, neurologists, infectious disease specialist and a heap of others and also a GP to rule out diabetes, thyroid, adhd, iron deficiency etc. It took 3.5 years for me to find out what was wrong.
@@TimayyI think the key is the REM and other factors. Including anecdotal ones, like whether you were always sleepy even when life was less stressful. A good sleep doctor is familiar with what separates a sleep disorder from just chronic fatigue. For example during the sleep tests, they also measure “sleep efficiency” which is, given all the apparatus and strange environment, how accurate or “efficient” your sleep actually is. Typically it is in the high 80% range, my doctor told me I had a 97% sleep efficiency which means despite the uncomfortable environment, my sleep was highly efficient. Remember that even if you’re chronically fatigued, the conditions of the test are really uncomfortable for you to get good sleep. They hook up a zillion nodes with sticky paste to your scalp, lots of wires everywhere, you can’t turn your head or have usual freedom of movements. You’re in a strange clinical bed with different sheets and pillows than you’re used to. There’s a camera in the room watching you. Etc. For the daytime sleep latency test, they ask you to fall asleep (take a nap) but then wake you up after 20 minutes. Then they ask you to nap again, and wake you up after 20 minutes again. Kind of like sleep torture 😂 Anyway I was told I fell asleep within 3 minutes and entered REM very quickly. I think these kinds of things may not be easily explained just by chronic fatigue; particularly given that they measure “sleep efficiency” Good luck on your sleep journey!

Informative....however, who is your intended audience? You launch into a rather complex illustration yet you don't take the time to to define certain terms....like REM sleep. My wife has narcolepsy #1 and I have experienced multitude of symptoms myself so... I'm familiar. Most people are not...............
NT2 here, I am a senior in college and doing a cognitive psych project on Narclepsy so I found this extremely helpful!! It sucks people aren't failure with narclepsy because its super cool- well I mean from a cognitive psych standpoint. Its a living hell living with it. This was the first video I watched out of 8 that actually delivered in-depth materials- and yes, he does define REM sleep, also its a good assumption to assume that one would know REM sleep if someone if looking up videos about a disorder that affects REM. Its better to deliver something complex and nuanced - Narclepsy is not well understood or researched so I would be happy that people are being educated on your wifes condition.

Informative....however, who is your intended audience? You launch into a rather complex illustration yet you don't take the time to to define certain terms....like REM sleep. My wife has narcolepsy #1 and I have experienced multitude of symptoms myself so... I'm familiar. Most people are not...............
the vidoes on dis channel are all mostly specific to the "step exam" prep, the USMLE licensing boards for doctors and DO's.
NT2 here, I am a senior in college and doing a cognitive psych project on Narclepsy so I found this extremely helpful!! It sucks people aren't failure with narclepsy because its super cool- well I mean from a cognitive psych standpoint. Its a living hell living with it. This was the first video I watched out of 8 that actually delivered in-depth materials- and yes, he does define REM sleep, also its a good assumption to assume that one would know REM sleep if someone if looking up videos about a disorder that affects REM. Its better to deliver something complex and nuanced - Narclepsy is not well understood or researched so I would be happy that people are being educated on your wifes condition.
I’m type one and I sleep eat hahahahahha I get sooo hungry at night
