The hardest part isn’t always the sleepiness. It’s having to make peace with a life that keeps asking you to pause when all you want to do is keep going. 💜

Some days I can work with my narcolepsy. Other days, I have to rearrange everything around it.

Today was one of those days.

If you needed the reminder too: adapting your day isn’t the same as giving up on it.

If I had £1 for everytime someone suggested sleeping tablets I would be very rich indeed…

Sleeping tablets will mess with your sleep cycles by putting you into an artificial ‘blackout’ instead of the healthy way of going through each sleep phase and cycle. As people with Narcolepsy skip into REM sleep a lot quicker than regular sleepers, adding another alteration to an already effed up sleep regulation system would be like putting petrol on a fire 🫠🔥 your sleep paralysis demon would multiply, nightmares turn 5D and after all that you would carry the grogginess around all day worsening your already debilitating brain fog and cognitive abilities 🤯
Even if you don’t have Narcolepsy, they can really mess you up, don’t touch them 🙅🏼‍♀️

Trying to create the thing I wish already existed 💜

A productivity system for the days when your energy, capacity and plans don’t always match.

Missing time 💜⏱️
Something I wrote when I thought about how some people think we are ‘lucky’ to sleep all the time.
This week has been a tough one, uncertainty about my future has ramped up and I’m often awake at all hours with racing thoughts.
It’s difficult to consistently show up on social media when your week has been mostly you panicking in your apartment, sleeping or doing crosswords before bed to try to slow down your brain - it’s not very aesthetic 😂🙈

Its hard for people to understand that we are both people in the video, but the difference is that the sleeping takes up way more of our time and we have a reduced capacity for getting even the most simple tasks done 😴 ps I was inspired by .chronic.therapist her version is much better!

It’s chaos over here 🫠

My symptoms are constantly changing and it’s so hard to get things done when you’re this tired.
I also have the ambition of Elle woods and bruisers bill so I can’t even rest properly. I need to look for part time or full time work but my days are so unpredictable I’m struggling to figure out where I would even fit

Can someone pay me to talk sh*te and read a hyperfocus of my choice and bore them to death with facts about it? This week it’s the Nightingale and the impact of N**i Germany on the surrounding countries 😂 it’s all I have energy for

Going mad with tiredness, xoxo Christine
