National Sleep Foundation. Mittler. An Introduction to Narcolepsy. National Sleep Foundation Slide Kit. Docsity.com ...from a narcolepsy patient I saw last year... Help!! Please do not mention this note to my husband, but could you please explain that narcolepsy is not a “mental” condition. When a sleep attack hits, its something that mind over matter doesn’t cure. He seems to think I should be able to hold a full time job, and honestly, I have trouble staying awake and alert enough for the one I currently hold- working only part time with brief naps in-between runs as a bus aid. He gets upset because he thinks with the medication I take, that I should no longer need naps, and that | should’bée'full of energy, which I am not. Not to mention so far, the medications I have tried have given me headaches, that sometimes turn into migraines. He seems to think that I’m just complaining; not that it is a serious problem for me. I’m afraid to drive, I know I don’t feel alert enough most of the time unless I’ve napped first, and sometimes even then, I’m still afraid. Any help : Hathis matter would be greatly appreciated.
