    I started off by not staying awake in church and school even though I enjoyed it then it grew into falling asleep driving or in the middle of a work shift very scary

      Narcolepsy is associated with sleep paralysis many times. There may be a spiritual cause (incubus succubus in the person's life). I tried getting rid of sleep paralysis with medication, yoga, Hinduism, reiki, and psychotherapy. The only thing that finally helped completely was Jesus. He is the One who can free us from this "disorder" (with most of the time, he has a bad spiritual cause. God bless.

    I was just diagnosed recently with narcolepsy after I had quit smoking. I had experienced these symptoms for years, not being able to drive very far due to feeling the need to sleep, even when consuming large quantities of caffeine that seemed to have little to no effect, always feeling tired even after a full nights sleep, passing out while sitting at my friend's house out of nowhere, and just overall wanting to sleep if I wasn't moving at 100mph. Due to the high energy work that I have done throughout my life (high intensity and physical exertion), I always felt tired but could always seem to push myself harder than others which would keep me feeling normal. But that was always exhausting. The job I have now is the only one I can remember where I might be moving very little or not at all for hours, and very low stress. And when I quit smoking, it reared its ugly head by causing me to have to drop to the floor before I would pass out. The doctor came to the conclusion that due to the stress that cigarettes was placing on my body that it was masking what was going on. The only time I felt awake was either basically running at a high rate at work or when I was working out. But as soon as I would stop pushing myself that hard, I would start feeling the need to sleep. The doctor just started me on modafinil, but it has just left me feeling absolutely terrible. I hope that when I go in next time they can try something else. This past month has left me wondering how my life is going to be affected by this.

      Mediate and confess on this words " I am healed in the name of Jesus ,I am healed of every sickness and deseases say it has many times you can
      Say " I am sleeping well at night and I and i am functioning well during the day" nothing is wrong with me"
      Say it and act like it .
      Read this bible verse and pray with key area that concerns in Jesus name : psalm 6 - 1to 10.
      Confess this also as many times Mathew 8: 17 before bed.
      Go to be bed early as 9:30. When every wake during the confess and affirm again as many times with stong faith do this continuesly and you will be completely healed.
      Also sleep with your lights on if you are having ilusinations it will disappear.
      That was how I got cured.

      Hello fellow Scorpio, you remind me of myself in terms of the way you kept yourself awake at work and how when you slow down you could just pass out. I was working 12 hours on, 12 hours off, 4 days on, 4 days off, and that schedule was working for me more than the typical 9-5 5 days a week schedule would. Any time I was at my 12/4 job, I got upset when there was little to do because if I stopped moving it would be nearly impossible to stay awake or to start moving again. Like you, I chose the position where I'd be moving around as much as possible. Staring at something without stressing out my body will make me sleepy. Movies that are boring or exciting will put me to sleep. Overstimulation and understimulation both make me uncontrollably tired.
      I now sleep with the lights on and have a slightly easier time waking up, but I think it might be screwing up my melatonin levels. Anyway, please let me know if you end up trying anything else other than modafinil. I think I'm going to ask to try Wellbutrin. I heard it gives energy and helps to regulate dopamine. But I think first I might try what the replier above me mentioned. If it worked for him and he didn't even need to take anything, that's even better

      I know exactly how you feel. I thought I was going crazy. You’re not going to believe this .but the way I found out that i think I might have it was because I was watching an episode of Frazier . Miles , Frazier brother was having problems with his wife he was depressed and he was falling asleep everywhere. You know that he’s a psychologist and Frazier too. Miles diagnosed himself with depressive narcolepsy. And it hit me, that has got to be what I have.

    Tooth infection can cause very poor sleep, which after a few days really becomes a problem. I am beginning to suspect I have narcolepsy its horrible. I have a kid so I cannot just take a nap. Its horrible very painful.

      Go see a dentist
      I’m narcoleptic and I’ve been battling a bad toothache recently . I’m pretty sure your tooth pain doesn’t make you have narcolepsy bud. But again, go see a dentist 🦷 and for the time being. Buy coconut oil or clove oil and put it on the direct tooth that’s causing the pain and do this everyday before you even brush your tooth for 20 mins. It helps for a little. I’m getting my tooth extracted next Friday because just like you this shit has became fucking unbearable lol. Let me know what your update is boss

    I just have to say I am shocked by these comments and questions! First of all the op said it was a “nerve” condition?? I’ve had it all my life and not once have I heard that! You cannot diagnose yourself just because you’re tired all the time or fall asleep on the phone. You have to sleep in a lab to be diagnosed, by a proper sleep specialist. And if you do “accidentally” fall out…you are still aware of what’s happening. I love these videos to explain the condition, but what I hate is that some leave it open to interpretation making people think if they’re sleepy in a meeting or riding in a car, it’s automatically narcolepsy. You can’t get it from a toothache, nor smoking (I understand you said it was a r/o…but just to clarify to others). And I am a true believer in the Lord and the power of prayer, but personally, I feel that’s oversimplified. And I don’t think eating grass or essential oils will fix it! Yes, depression and anxiety can be strong components. Nothing like feeling tired all the time, wondering if you’ll fall asleep at the wrong time or not get sleep at night constantly. You can isolate because of those fears, not to mention the feeling of hopelessness that you can’t be cured. Sorry, I’m a bit bitter today, no offense to anyone! Lifelong sufferer 👋🏻. Having a particularly difficult time atm. Educate yourself. Talk to your drs, relentlessly, if they aren’t helping to solve your issue. It’s not easily diagnosed. I’ve slept in TEN labs before “suggestive of narcolepsy” became a narcolepsy diagnosis. Check out “know narcolepsy” on the internet to help learn more about your own disorder or to have compassion for your loved ones who suffer from it. Some worse than others 💕

      Thanks for your comment. I don't know what's wrong with me or why I've always been like this, but I learned that if you don't ask the doctor about specific issues, they likely won't find the issue. I don't have the energy or motivation to go to a strange lab for sleep that many times, but I was hoping for a more natural remedy for people who don't wake up to alarms or sounds or lights, who have ridiculous tiredness and crazy dreams even if I fall asleep for literally 2 seconds. I somehow ended up here just to see what the symptoms were, but that way I can say that I have symptoms similar to this or that, but not other symptoms, or unsure of certain symptoms, so it will make it easier for the doctor if I do that kind of determination ahead of time

      Going to a neurologist and having a sleep study done! They will hook up wires to your scalp, in your nose, your legs. They will have you fall asleep 5 times and each time they will see how long it's takes you to fall asleep, and monitor how much you dream while sleeping.

      Most of the time you will need to get a referral from your primary care doctor to see a sleep specialist. After you get that, you can schedule an appointment and they'll schedule you a 2 part sleep study. The first half is monitoring your sleep overnight, mostly to rule out sleep apnea. After you wake up, they'll tell you whether or not you qualify for the 2nd half of the study, the MSLT. You'll take 5 scheduled naps throughout the day and afterwards you'll follow up with the sleep specialist and they'll give you your results.

    But what if I feel sleepy during the day but can't sleep? All of the symptoms there where showed but
    I don't think I have stress nor depression? Although I overthink alot and I manage to create my own imaginations when I close my eyes. I can't stop them I get distracted by it. So this was also one of the reasons of why I can't sleep and having dark circles around my eyes
    But is this normal?

    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 forehead
    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. Justine against charms and all demons. This akathist can be ordered at any other Orthodox church if you are baptized Orthodox.

      I don't have any pprn or sxual-overload issues like you mention, but I do have inherited soul illness and I have remnants of hate for some things (for example, I hate pprn) and I am easily disturbed by things that will roll off the backs of other people. There was a shop cursing my mother's shop and I had to stop going there because I was worried that it could be my fault. I am Greek Orthodox and would like to go to those springs, but I have a terrible fear of natural bodies of water. I was once accused of levitating because of how scared and hurried I was to get out of the river and back onto the boat. Exposure therapy doesn't seem to work for me but maybe I need to go to the Orthodox Church.
