Narcolepsy (NORD) - causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, pathology 

yeah i’ll get so much sleep in the night, but still fall asleep uncontrollably in the day

Thank you for the video, i was asleep when the professor explained this 😁

Very nice summary. I always wondered why I could naever stay awake, for decades while in the Navy and being a professional engineer. It's now been 40+ years, and finally after going for a sleep study in 1995 I understood why. Don't ignore this. You will ALWAYS be tired. ALWAYS. Well, likely not uplifting, but maybe it helps someone. I am 62 years old, and been afflicted with this my entire life. It's easier before being an adult, completely horrible as a working adult, and still terrible in retirement. Sleep is a sometimes acquaintance. Always tired, unless you take amphetimines, and those are always incredibly expensive. Well, enough of that. Narcolepsy is a no shit problem. Apologies for posting, but if one person gets advantage, I have paid my dues to the future.

I had episodes of multiple sleep paralysis in a row while falling asleep, I'd wake myself up shaking it off just to fall into it again Like an unending assault, getting more tired with each instance of sleep paralysis and being unable to actually sleep. It sucked, but was sort of fascinating at the same time.

I honestly believe I have narcolepsy ever since I had cvid. I fell asleep in the drive thru, sitting at work, after a night of sleep. At random times I just fall asleep for a few seconds or minutes. Even happened while watching this video. I just wanna go back to normal 😥

I have classic narcolepsy and found this clip spot on, 100% accurate 👌, Thanks, be lucky!

😢 this is all spot on for me.

Thank you for sharing this valuable and vital information ! As a child I would wake up paralyzed and I could not cry out for my mom ! Eventually I realized that it I just fell asleep again , I would wake up just fine ! I hope that experience never comes back because it’s horrible ! Monday February 28th 2022 ! ❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍♥️♥️♥️😊😊😊🤗🤗🤗

Make a video on sodium oxybate (xywav), just got prescribed it but it’s not well known to doctors or people

Can you guys do a video on idiopathic hypersomnia ? Also, can one have a subclinical or like lower level of narcolepsy ? Thanks

Thank you so much osmosis team for everything

Thanks for the lesson John Mulaney

thanks this is very helpful

Advice for my nine years old son, who reacted badly on modafinil and we stopped the medication, currently at home can't cope with school

Oh joy.. I experience all 5.. 😂. They’ve subsided with medications but before I was on them, it was terrible!

3:56 As someone with narcolepsy my only thing to add is that not all hallucinations are frightening, I’ll have hallucinations that have to do with my phone going off, or that my roommates are talking to me when they’re not. I’ve noticed that generally when I’m sleeping alone I don’t even notice them because I just think they’re real most of the time :), I’d also note that while not everyone has all five, whether or not you have Cataplexy actually determines wether you have type 1 or type 2 narcolepsy, which can be very important in day-to-day functioning. (These are just my observations as someone with narcolepsy, I’m watching these videos to find out more though, so if my info is wrong lmk :) )

Automatic behaviors is also a big symptom

My life is already ruined by narcolepsy. 😢

I searched for this to find out what was wrong with the man i shared a room 10 years ago... The man would be fully awake and talking and suddenly falls asleep... I was shocked at how sudden his sleep pattern was.

My mom has this

Here again because this video is great for explaining to people who don't understand what I have lol

So can narcolepsy be acquired since your brain cells are naturally deteriorating?

Idk if i have this coz ik constantly tired in class

Is this narcolepsy? Well its been a week now and I kept sleeping and sleeping every afternoon and I can't control it. It's been affecting me so bad.

Ok so here’s my theory on why I have narcolepsy and nobody else in my family does: My body has a lot of tension. If I stop thinking I stop breathing because I actually can’t just breathe automatically. I actually have no chill because if I do I get cataplexy. I’m alive but I can’t really live and my only respite from the pain is sleep but even that is plagued with nightmares, sleep paralysis, tossing, turning and waking up so I can breathe again. My brain is trying to achieve the state of mind you would have when you are in the womb and trying to grow. I get sleep attacks to force my mind to shut down (and in doing so eventually I will stop breathing) and for it to suffocate. Why suffocate? This will cause my brain to fire off signals to the body to convulse and wake up, but more accurately it is trying to connect to the body in a less tense manner. It’s a bit hard to explain but I held my breath for a while to stop myself from breathing. I did it long enough to for it to feel like I needed to have a seizure. Part(s) of my brain that I don’t usually feel felt like they’d awakened, albeit briefly, from a long slumber and part of my chest felt looser. I held my breath for as long as I could, feeling my brain activity going crazy, then gasped deeply for air. I felt like part of my lungs were being used for the first time! The tightness in my chest is more on the right side and I feel like not a lot of oxygen goes to the right lung (evidenced by an observation I made whilst in a swimming pool. When I inhaled, only the left side of my chest rose above the water and when I exhaled it was still only the left side of my chest moving) BUT this time it felt like I was breathing like how I do sometimes in my dreams, even though its never happened in real life. I didn’t really do anything to deserve this torture but I’m listening to what it means and where it comes from as best I can. Narcolepsy may have undone my ego but it has put me on a unique life path that I will one day be able to say was all worthwhile!

Can People with Narcolepsy hear while sleeping?

im starting to think i have narcolepsy, everything feels so unreal i cant explain it it just does i feel like a stranger to my own body im always tired no matter what i do i get atleast 3-4 sleep paralyses per week if im lucky per month im just trying to keep myself busy so i stop thinking about it

That damn turtle cracked me up bro

I'm sleepy all of the time but it's called multiple sclerosis.

I'm sleep walking 💤

I never knew I had narcolepsy. Iva had it all my life. I thought I was just different in a weird way . :(

What are the treatments?

I will be doing something and then a minute or 2 I'll wake up

Hi, not to bother you but I'm curently working on my story right now and I'd like to make some research before writing any ideas, I'd like to make it somehow educational. In my story there is a girl with narcolepsy ( I think ), she just stuck on her dream thinking it's the reality but in reality, she was just sleeping in a hospital bed for weeks. do you think this type of disease also an example or narcolepsy?

I fell asleep watching this diagnosis 💀

🥂

Any boddy here overcome cataplexy ?

Or you take a nap for 5 hours during the day and wide awake the whole freaking night.

First .

I felt asleep while watching this😢

NOT ACCURATE NOT EVEN REMOTELY ACCURATE THIS IS EXTREMELY HARMFUL

THIS IS NOT ACCURATE

Entering(submersion 3 times with a certain prayer and crossing yourself) in water springs of orthodox saints(which are near or in monasteries)give very much power and sureness to people with depression, panic attacks, Tourette sindrom,narcolepsy, schizofrenia and other soul illnesses before getting to the eucharisty that heals all soul illnesses. There are some springs of mother of mother of God that also heal all soul illnesses. Spring at the Monastery of st. Paraskevi at Tempi in Greece is one of many springs of saints in Greece and in Balkans. If you have chronic fatigue it is from masturbating, watching pornography, hate etc. 99% of all illnesses are from soul. Soul illnesses can be enherited or from sins. If you can not go to the church because of the illness you can call the priest to your home to give you eucharisty if you are baptised orthodox. If you can not go to a spring of orthodox saint you can buy sainted water and pour it on your self or sainted oil and apply a little on your fronthead If you have diseases, bad luck, impotence, you can only have a discussion with the same person, etc. it can be from witch spellings. In the Zlătari church in Bucharest, every Wednesday at 17.00 it is read the akathist to St. Cyprian and st. Justin against charms and all demons. This akathist can be ordered at any other Orthodox church if you are baptized Orthodox.
