/fit/ i can literally not stop sleeping anyone here have narcolepsy?

>>38322329

I don't know if it's specifically narcolepsy, but its definitely something wrong, you should make another appointment, try to explain your case a little beforehand. Try to schedule for a time you are likely to be up if you can.

Unless you luck out with another anon here who's had similar, I don't know how much help anyone else here can be.

I was on sleeping meds for a while since I had trouble falling asleep, then would sleep in and still be tired all day, but the pills fucked my sleep up and made me almost unable to eat food. In my case working on my underlying depression is whay helps my sleep issues, which aren't as bad as yours by any means.

>I can't stop sleeping

uhh op I was going to shitpost but you should see a specialist.

>>38322380
I was going to try to make another appointment today but

>slept through the whole day and woke up at 7PM when the doctors office was closed

JDIMSA. I'm gonna have to see if my brother can make an appointment for me or something. I don't know why this is happening to me. I have a final in three days and I've only done 70% of the coursework because the past two weeks I've done nothing but sleep

>>38322409

Get your brother to do that would be a good idea. You a student? Get a friend to wake you by phone, get s flatmate or friend to knock your door hard or shake you awake.

I'd also see if you can put in for medical or special circumstances on your course, though this is easier wirh a doctor's note.

I got such a letter for having a breakdown and depression during my finals that messed my grades up, and came out ok with it.

If you dont get help you Will Probably not wake up one day

>>38322409
>>38322329
Narcolepts only sleep when they get get stressed and their body shuts down to avoid stress

you just sound like a lazy fuck

>>38322329
Trade some sleeps w me bruh, I can't get to sleep at all.

>>38322409
>JDIMSA

That at least shouldn't be too hard for you to manage

>>38322329
You may have an underactive thyroid. Go see a doctor (endocrinologist)

>>38322474
I wish I was just a lazy fuck tbqh

I had to schedule my classes all before noon because once noon hits I get so tired I practically start daydreaming while awake and pass out

>>38322329
you dont have narcolepsy you probably have some kind of sleep apnea or possibly just really bad sleep hygiene. it will fuck your life up in a huge way, so go to a doctor, srs

>>38322489
maybe its something to do with the daytime and the sunlight because it only happens at noon?

>>38322516
maybe i'm a vampire

I'm the same way. I drink about 6 cups of coffee per day after getting 8 hours of sleep and still start falling asleep at my desk. I had a sleep study done and now I'm waiting for the results. You should do the same.

>go to bed at 3 in the morning when no work
>get up at 9
>set alarm for 30 more minutes
>repeate 3 or 4 times
>eventually dont even set alarm
>just sleep and wake up whenever

bed is JUST to comfy

i ask my self if there is any reason for me to even get out of bed and its always no

See a doctor, who will probably refer you to an endocrinologist

>tfw almost passing out on the bench when about to do a set

i cant get hyped for working out anymore....

>>38322543
I went to an endo 3 years ago and they said nothing was wrong with me

It's gotten so much worse in the past 3 years tho

>>38322523
I am one too

If its that bad you should see a doctor, a good one too because most dont know shit

>wear hats too much
>develop huge headache from it
>go to doctor (emergency room)
>itsallegies.jpg
>you'refakingit.png
>itsthemarijuana.gif

I literally had to findout for myself that its called an external compression headache.

>>38322329
Don't you have a job or uni or something?

Or are you a neet?

>>38322409
>I'm gonna have to see if my brother can make an appointment for me or something.

Yeah, good idea. Get your bro to book an appointment, and get him to wake you up too.

>>38322749
I have uni but like I said all my classes are before noon because I can't stay awake

>>38322765
rip

Yeah see a doctor asap bro. Definitely not normal.

>>38322769
tbqh I think I'm just gonna order some modafinil off the internet while I wait to get into the docs

I can't deal with this bullshit anymore. i have adderal but adderal is cancer and doesn't do shit

>>38322790
What about normal stimulants like energy drink, coffee, nicotine etc.? Do they do anything?

>>38322797
nicotine is great if smoking didn't give me cancer I would be all over it. i tried vapes in the past but those don't really do anything, nicotine is only nice when it comes in cancer stick form

coffee sucks and just makes me a jittery mess. same with all caffeine drinks

>>38322814
Yes but apart from making you a jittery mess, does it keep you awake? You need something which will help you stay awake anon, even if temporarily until you can get something decent from the doctor.

>>38322843
maybe i'll finish the rest of my licorice root

it sounds like a meme but that stuff actually works

Wish I had your problem. Constant insomnia for me, I haven't slept more than an hour a night for almost three months

Jesus, that sounds terrible. I feel terrible if I go to work on 4 hours of sleep 3 nights in a row.

Why aren't you at a doctor too? That shit can give you brain damage.

Sleeping a lot is also a sign of depression

>>38322915
Depression is a kike invented illness and all that diagnoses does is delay treatment for the real underlying condition

>Let's not check his thyroid, vitamin D, cortisol, inflammation levels, for autoimmune, or illnesses, let's just call him "depressed" and send him off his way with some prozac

They'll tell you you have a "chemical imbalance" but notice how there is no actual objective blood test to measure these chemicals.

>>38322914
>4 hours of sleep 3 nights in a row.

are you me?

hasnt happened in a long time but damn that was rough

>>38322955
Yeah it fucking sucks.

It's because I sit up at night on /pol/ for too long. I can't tear away from it.

I'm probably not you, though. Sorry senpai

why is it that when I sleep 5 hours I'm way less tired than when I sleep 8? I normally sleep 8 but whenever I have to sleep 5 or less I'm allways wide awake the next day

>>38322935
Don't forget testosterone levels. Low test can cause depression sometimes

>>38322814
Take caffeine in whatever form you choose with L-Theanine. NOS comes out of the can with it, though not in enough of an amount. Supplement it. Or just, y'know, take str8 amphetamines. I mean, it's not the worst thing you could ingest. Or smoke, however you prefer.
>>38322895
sleeping pills are stupidly easy to get. Something as simple as jet lag will get a doc to write you up for enough to kill ya in one go. The sleep sux, like you'll wake up hating sleep, but you'll sleep.
Get em, stupid.

>>38322980
It's something to do with the amount of REM sleep you get, and whether or not you woke up in the middle of a sleep cycle, or in between sleep cycles.

Read up about it. Sleep is *SUPER* important.

>>38323059
I have l-theanine lying around. How much should I take with coffee?

>>38322980

I have hypersomnia as well but not as bad as you. Get Modalert from modafinil cat and see if that helps. It's meant to treat narcolepsy and hypersomnia, but it can be hard to get a script for it because doctors are a bunch of fucking morons.

Try roiding

>>38323067
>Sleep is *SUPER* important.
this 2bh fampais. i did the whole college never sleep meme lifestyle and looking back i wasted so much opportunity. getting good quality sleep has been the single greatest improvement in my lifestyle, better mood, better lifts, generally on top of shit

This so fucking hard. You also remember more when you sleep better, because the sleep is what helps cement all the new stuff you learned in your brain.

>>38322980
sleep cycles

>>38323117
also remembering your dreams is a huge perk. after you get used to recalling and sorting your dreams out in the morning it's a big let down to have shitty sleep and not remember. like your brain spent all night sorting shit out for you and you missed it

>>38323091
>modafinil
sleep related meds are fucking haram. sleep science is generally underfunded (because you can't sell good advice as easily as pills), so they don't understand why any of those meds work or better yet why they make some people want to kill themselves etc. i mean shit we still don't understand why sleep deprivation can kill you, but here's some meds that do ??? inside your brain and make you tired

>>38322790
>adderal is cancer and doesn't do shit
If amphetamine doesn't keep you awake then fucking modafinil won't.

>>38323258
It keeps me awake but it makes my feel edgy and makes my jaw clench

If it could keep me awake without the edge it would be great

>>38322329

Idiopathic Hypersomnia

>>38322329
could be iron deficiency from internal bleeding or something. I think.

>>38322329
I had the same problem OP.
A lot of stuff changed in my life around the same time but I managed to shake it so here goes:
Had an appointment/booking/work/something to get up for early like 7am
Began doing serious cardio
and getting significantly more vitamin D
Began eating very clean and cutting
Began drinking a shitload of water
started taking new asthma medication with a stronger dose of corticosteroid (flutiscasone propionate 250ug if you're interested) which has stimulant side effects, reducing my coffee intake to 0

Basically you're depressed, find a reason to get out of bed and force yourself to get more fit and you should be on the right track

I've been struggling with the same thing for years now. Diagnosed at a young age with ADD and have been on meds for it since I was 15 (now 22) Well I started having sleep issues when I was about 18-19 which included sleep paralysis, insomnia, excessive daytime sleepiness, etc. This made me pretty damn depressed as I thought I was going crazy so they put me on an anti-depressant.


It helped a lot with the dreams and my ADD medicine was doing an okay job at keeping me awake but I could still feel the sleepiness. After getting in trouble for sleeping in late all the time, always being tired, and not being able to sleep at night, I went and got testing done.

They said I have narcolepsy and mild OSA. Well I've been on my ADD med's, anti-depressants, and Nuvigil for a while now and it does help. However, I'm still confused on whether I'm depressed or just plain fucking tired and it's a misdiagnosis. Either way, I keep skimping on my sleep doctor appointments because I usually sleep right through them (Shocker). I'm still working on figuring out the right treatment for me because the one thing in life I wish I had was a normal sleep schedule, in which I could feel awakened and energized during the day.

Maybe I will dump the stimulants, the SSRIs, and just go on modafinil.

I wish I could fucking sleep. It's been the same for the last four or so months. Ill pass out every once in a while in the middle of the night, but wake up about 45 minutes later.

It's 1AM and I'm going on 30 hours awake right now. Got a dentist appointment at 9:30, hopefully I'll crash once it starts.

>>38322329
You have bad sleep hygene. Aim for 8 hours. Go to bed at the same time. 10-11ish and rise at the same time 6-7ish EVERY DAY. After a week or so it should get better.
