Corsatax – 120 Tablets – Unlike other Narcolepsy products which are slow or ineffective, Corsatax has the unique ability to provide long term support in a relatively short time through an easy one-a-day pill regimen.
I don’t want links to websites about insomnia or suggestions for different types of meds. I just want to know how other insomniacs like myself deal with it. How do you deal with your day at work/school? At the end of the day what do you do to help your body fall asleep?
If you have real insomnia you either don’t go to sleep at all or you go to sleep for only a few hours.
I went through a period of about three months where I didn’t and couldn’t sleep at all. I am a single mom of three kids, full time college student, and could barely function. I had a difficult time concentrating on anything.
A friend of mine gave me sleeping pills to try but that only put me to sleep for about 3 hours.
Then a nurse friend gave me B-12 and calcium to take.
Once I got started on that I was able to get more sleep.
Some other friends helped take care of my kids while I could sleep some. After about two weeks my life starting getting back to normal.
I did both the multiple latency test and the polysmnogram test and they didnt find narcolepsy but they also did a narcolepsy panel and found that I tested positive. I noticed the symptoms I had were excessive daytime sleepiness, sometimes I hallucinate, sometimes I get sleep paralysis and during school I feel very sleep at the wrong times. I know the doctor will give me medication for it, but I am wondering is there any treatment for it besides medication? Like what can I do to cope with narcolepsy?
Home Care Tips for Narcolepsy:
There are several things you can do at home to help improve the symptoms of narcolepsy and include the following:
Maintain a regular sleep schedule. Many people have an improvement in their symptoms if they maintain a regular sleep schedule, usually 7-8 hours of sleep per night.
Schedule naps during the day. One study suggested that the optimal sleep pattern is a combination of scheduled nighttime sleep (such as from 11:00 pm to 7:30 am) and two 15-minute naps throughout the day.
Avoid heavy meals and alcohol. Both can interfere with sleep.
Do not drive or operate machinery when you feel sleepy.
Exercise regularly.

Like, what if you got in the habit of making up for a sleepless night by catching the missed zzz’s during the day? Is it still insomnia if you manage to sleep the reccomended amount but at daytime?
Not so much insomnia, but definitely a sleep disorder. Some people, like myself, are cursed by a genetic mutation called the after-hours gene. It is speculated that this gene is responsible for regulating the body’s internal clock (the circadian rhythm) and those who possess it work on a 27 hour day instead of 24 hours like normal folks. If you don’t have any reason to be up in the morning just stay up late and be proud to be a night owl. If it is something that bothers you, try taking a melatonin supplement. Melatonin is the hormone that makes you sleepy; normal people start secreting it around midnight.
I have a 11 yr old who has narcolepsy and epilepsy. durring the summer we go and have 3 or 4 attacks a week. well when school starts the attacks go to 3 or 4 a day. She takes 2 naps at school, but the wake her up from them. any advice??
I have also notice that is she dont eay meals and snacks she has spells. does this affect it?
She can go from being a bouncing off the wall 11 yr old, to a 11 yr having to be pushed in a wheel chair. because she is so weak.
I have researched, asked, and the drs are trying to adjust meds. now. does anyone know anything that can help us, be half way normal???
Yes, stressful situations can cause narcolepsy attacks. Talk to your doctor about it as he/she may want to adjust the meds.

I have been suffering from migraines and insomnia for aprrox 3 months. My doctor says they are probably related to each other. He has given me serval types of pain pills, and sleeping pills. Which work. But make me sleepy, and sluggish the next day. I work as a registered nurse so I know about the prescription medications. But of course we were never taught about Herbal remedies. Does any one have any that really work. I am having a real hard time with this because I have a demanding job and a family to take care of. And I feel completely worn out. My doctor does have me set up with specialist. But my appointments are not for some time.
I don’t do illegal drugs.
Have you tried melatonin for sleep? You can buy it at any vitamin store or drug store. You take it about two hours before bed time. It has no side effects and no "sleep hangover" in the morning. If that doesn’t work, there is a new prescription med called Rozerem. It is like a high potency melatonin and I’ve seen people have pretty good luck. Both Rozerem and melatonin may take a week or so to really know if they are working.
I just started taking magnesium for migraines. So far, so good. I have read numerous studies touting the benefits of magnesium and most suggest 250-500 mg/day.
Hope something works for you.
