Another five star review for my informative Idiopathic HypersomNIA comicbook has dropped! :D It now has 3, which may not sound like a lot but for me this is huge. <3

Also another person saying this book could benefit those with other sleep disorders too. (:
(Like narcolepsy, KLS, etc.) And their loved ones.

Severe #narcolepsy with cataplexy is caused by the degeneration of neurons in two distinct regions of the brain: the hypothalamus and the locus coeruleus. This dual-region damage disrupts the production of both hypocretin and norepinephrine, which are critical chemical messengers for regulating wakefulness and muscle tone.

Severe narcolepsy found to damage a second brain region

UCLA researchers discovered that severe narcolepsy damages a second brain region, the locus coeruleus, opening doors for new targeted therapies.

Acrylic paint on an outlet faceplate; 2023? One of many.

I was working on this during a sleep study that would reveal my idiopathic hypersomnia, narcolepsy's little known cousin. Wild times. It's good to remember how far I've come. I'll probably post the others later.

Welp I ended up inverting my sleep schedule again. First time doing so while still taking my #Narcolepsy meds, usually this only happens when I fall off them. But I'm gonna try to flip my sleep schedule back in a few days by sleeping during travel, which if I get lucky will pass the time but still leave me not actually that well-rested.

And anyone with #IdiopathicHypersomnia or #Narcolepsy who has been prescribed Xyvaw or Xyvax - do not ever lie to your doctor about your weed, or alcohol use.

I know this may shound harsh, but you could literally die if you take these anywhere near drinking, or smoking weed. Alcohol, and weed, stay in your body minimum 12 hours (longer if you use more). Heavy users may never see a safe day to take sodium oxybates.

Your life matters. So be safe.
Get the help you deserve.
Do not mix use.

Oh good, it’s time to have simultaneous #narcolepsy and #insomnia. I’m sure I’ll feel great tomorrow.

Napping with #narcolepsy is so odd. Did I really sleep, or just spend the last 45 minutes in a daze? Maybe I went straight to REM and had a semi-lucid dream that I was thinking about the things I was thinking about before I laid down? I think I feel better, but am I going to need another one in an hour or two? I don't know, and without an EEG you don't either.
