With for the last 5 years I've had all incidents of falling asleep without being wake up. Mostly happens when I'm very stressed out or very angry. I have found myself falling sleep at restaurants ,at my job and at home where nobody can get me to wake up or respond. Is there a thing called stress related narcolepsy? Can some help. I will be going to specialist when I got insurance again. Thanks for your time.

I don't know - selecting people for my "team" seems playing favorites with people I don't know. That seems weird to me.

I want to know about one of your best days you have had with your narcolepsy. Tell me how you felt, who you were with , everything.

I have a teenager with narcolepsy who is really struggling. He has had averse reactions to medications and has a hopeless attitude. I can see how much he is struggling and suffering. When I try to help him and make suggestions, he gets angry with me and frustrated. He has a lot of supports in place but he is in the worst place right now. How do I support him and support myself at the same time? It is so hard to be a mother and feel this helpless.

Is anyone currently being treated for narcolepsy for dopamine inducing sleep peptides? If so - do you find them effective?
