Are people with narcolepsy more creative?
Has anyone ever felt that they are more creative because of narcolepsy? How do you express your creativity?
I definitely agree we are creative. Because we can sometimes lucid dream easier and daydreaming for me has such an important place in my life where I love to daydream about stories based on things I've seen or watched. We also probably remember our dreams more as we spend more time in that dream sleep
That makes sense,
. Do you ever make use of those dreams or that creativity? Warm wishes. - Lori (Team Member)
I just want to continue this "brighter" side of narcolepsy because I feel the same, I like to write and read and somehow I have many bursts of ideas come after sleep. But ofc on how to manifest the idea itself is a different case, since mostly I stuck in the idea mode 😁 anyway I find these articles regarding the correlation between narcolepsy and creativity:

Well I am a creative person, but as narcolepsy set in I have less ideas and the ones I do have I find I am to fatigued.
A trillion times yes!
