Could you get through a day without napping? Were you productive at all? Could you get up in the morning?
For me, I would often go entire months without a single hour of real productivity at any point. It was totally destroying my education, often I would sleep for 12 hours and then wake up feeling like I had not slept at all, and then take 3 hours of naps during the day. I wonder how normal that experience is.

This seems very normal to me When I was diagnosed the doctor told me that if I had not got diagnosed the symptoms would continue to get worse and worse. It was a nightmare for my parents to get me out of bed. { funnily I still struggle with this even on medication.) I sleep on the bus on y way to college, through all my classes. I was always falling asleep and non of my classes were very interactive. This is what helped me get diagnosed the teachers were so concerned.

Hey
But now-a-days I can't live without them. Most days I once or twice but there are some where I will have 3 naps. I used to feel so bad about it before but now I make no apologies! It is just as important as taking our medication correctly or having a healthy diet...and people have to understand that.
Having naps is taking care of yourself and respecting your condition. That's how I see it at least. 😀
