How to combat narcolepsy without medication? I never can't

>>18142433
So loud noises don't wake you up at all? Are you like virtually comatose when you sleep or something?

>>18142442
Practically. When I was a kid I fell from a bunk bed and didn't wake up, and few years ago, back in high school, my friend tried to wake me up by dragging me out of bed and on the floor, I just proceeded to kick him in the head, he left, and I just went to sleep, there, on the floor, but I actually woke up in my bed, later that day.

Oh, yeah, sometimes I can't fall asleep, actually, normally it takes me an hour, when I was a kid it took me two hours. So I really don't know if it's narcolepsy, insomnia, or something else.

I experience lucid dreams, sleep paralysis, and exploding head syndrome. And when I go to sleep I have a musical overture to dreams.

Hijacking this thread...

Sometimes when I have alarm set and dont really have to go anywhere, even though I want to, I get back to sleep and sleep at least 2 more hours. I've noticed that if Im having dreams, this happens more. How to fight this?

Guess we're fucked.

I've sort of had issues sleeping, too.

Getting to sleep usually isn't too bad. Takes about 30 minutes to an hour.

Waking up....
I don't usually feel rested, so when I do regain consciousness, I kind of just lay in bed drifting between consciousness and unconsciousness endlessly until I begin to feel physically ill like I'm about to vomit.

Fairly heavy sleeper, I can sleep through pretty much anything.

OP here, I know how you feel, worst thing is when you are out of bed and experience unexplainable stomach pain during the whole day.

>>18143524
I don't really have any pain, just nausea. Sometimes eating helps, sometimes it just exacerbates it, so I usually don't eat until late in the evening when I know I won't have to do anything physically demanding.

Maybe you're lactose intolerant, or can't eat anything with yeast. I found out that I was allergic to yeast, lactose and chili when I was 20.

Oh, yeah, and starch too.

And because of this, I most likely have impaired glucose tolerance, which can lead to diabetes.

Shit dude, that sucks.

Lactose intolerance, yeah. Started when I was about 14 or so. Up until that point, I'd drink up to 6 liters a week. Tolerance dropped down to practically nothing, and through sheer will, I've sort of built it back up to the point where I can drink about a liter without having too many issues.

I cannot handle eggs, eggnog, deep fried food, and cheese.

Mostly fatty things. Could potentially be indicative of a gall bladder problem, I suppose.

Improving my diet would probably help.

Yes, it definitely would help, try avoiding carbohydrates and fructose, too.
