Can't Sleep at Night

Does anyone else actually stay awake all day, but then when it's actually time to go to bed, your body is just like, "nah"? I'll be awake from 7-8am, feel tired, go to bed at 10 because I'm tired but my body just won't.

Oh gosh yes! It's so hard when u have Narcolepsy and insomnia! I started taking 10mg of Melatonin around 9ish to help with that and sometimes it helps. Not always though.

So glad to see other people with narcolepsy relating to this post. I never wanna tell people about the insomnia that comes with it because I always feel like it’ll just invalidate myself and they won’t believe the struggles 😭

That's wild. I've had 2 sleep studies but they haven't found anything about insomnia.

Absolutely! One of the reasons it took so long for me to realize I had narcolepsy was because I also have horrible insomnia
