Does Anyone Else Get Sleep Attacks But Don't Fall Asleep?
I have narcolepsy with cataplexy and I would say moderate to severe eds, I get sleep attacks but I don't go to sleep. I fight it so hard and try to stay moving. Also I have racing thoughts that keep me from relaxing very much. Yet I feel like I could fall asleep at any moment. It is so crazy! Please let me know if you experience anything like this.
Hi. Yes I get this to where sometimes I feel very tired and fatigued but I lay down and can only rest not actually fall asleep. Could be the meds keeping me awake while my body just can’t keep up?
It did, but took 6 months or so before I got into a routine
thats how i was before getting on xywav. at one point i was sleeping 23 hours a day for almost 6 months straight and was fortunate that my boss didnt fire me
Absolutely. I feel like I'm trapped in a body that doesn't work! When this happens I go to my "insight timer" app and listen to a guided meditation. So helpful.
