Same here Charity! They only help me for about 2-3 hours max but even that is such a huge help! Do you take naps everyday? Thanks so much for sharing with us! Take care, Iris (Team member)

Taking regular naps may be helpful to manage symptoms of Narcolepsy. You should also go to sleep and wake up at the same time everyday. Check out this link for more lifestyle tips to manage Narcolepsy symptoms. https://scofa.com/narcolepsy/

This is very true. I still struggle with this to this day because of my insomnia, unfortunately, but the naps during the day are a lifesaver! 😀

I second this! It is so important that I follow a routine, including when I nap or go to sleep/wake up. It helps my EDS significantly! Xoxo/Zzz, Gabrielle

Naps will quite often give me a boost of energy to make further through the day. They also will help relieve the pain/pressure that I will get in my head pushes over the edge and causes me to pass out/sleep.
