i tried to find a previous thread on the issue but failed to find one.
some of the questions i had about narcolepsy are as follows:
1. what are the symptoms?
2. what triggers narcolepsy?
3. what is going on physiologically inside the body when someone has narcolepsy?
4. what are different ways to treat narcolepsy?
5. has anyone experienced narcolepsy? what did you do to treat it?
pretty much what is everything involved with narcolepsy?
thanks!
Not sure about what is going on, but I bet a lot of Spanish distance runners have it.
Narcolepsy is a general term used to sleep disorders. Randomly falling asleep, not being able to get up... I had a buddy of mine whos body would fall asleep but his mind would still be awake.
Medications usually help. Change of eating habits and strict sleeping routines have also helped.
what type of change in eating habits? how would you keep your body to keeping those strict sleeping habits?
i can feel this narcolepsy sliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiide...
Provigil is the drug approved by the FDA for Narcolepsy. However, you need to go see a doctor specializing in sleep medicine. Universities with top notich sleep medicine doctors are Stanford, Penn and University of Minnesota. If you don't live anywhere near these areas i would still try to find a doctor specializing in sleep disorders.
Good luck.
No junk food, sodas and the like. Eat a lot more organic healthy foods.
Go to bed and wake up at the same time everyday for starters. Yes, even on the weekends.
