I haven’t been diagnosed with narcolepsy but I do have sleep issues, and it can feel isolating. I’ve found just being up front with people about needing to rest/sleep has helped me feel less anxious about it. Like that’s what my body needs so that’s what I’m going to give it. I also try to keep in mind that I get tired after activities easier than other people so I can plan to rest. I hope that helps!
