I Am Always Tired At 10am

A MyNarcolepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭
Avondale, PA

Hello
I wake up at 7am and no matter what I do I always get tired at 10am. I get very sleepy. I’m ok nuvigil 250, strattera 25mg and take XYWAV at night. I’m in recovery so I can’t take any amphetamines. It feels like no matter what I do I have to nap at 10am or 2pm. Please let me know if you have any tips

I get up, take shower and get dressed! 10 am I am ready for bed! So take a nap 😴! Lately I have been sleeping all day! It is summer now and starting to get hot! Can’t use my air conditioner as the utilities are so high! Being hot makes me sleepy too! Don’t know what to do anymore!

It depends on your schedule and commitments but are you able to nap during the day? I pre-empt when I know I will struggle and nap over that time when possible. So if 10am was difficult time, I would try to nap 9:55-10:05 ish.

I am on different medication but I changed when I took mine as I found mornings difficult so I take mine first thing, then mid-morning or lunch depending on how I feel each day and early afternoon which has helped (not 100% but definitely better).

Hope you find something that helps!

Well at least you know you're not alone.
