Narcolepsy is a neurological disorder. I have narcolepsy without cataplexy, with effects about 30% of narcolepsy patients. Instead of trying to explain narcolepsy on my own, here are some graphics that will do it for me.
This is super interesting. I know narcolepsy is different than insomnia, but it is interesting to see how connected they are. The part about the effects on the brain when it doesn't sleep is the same for narcoleptic people and insomniacs. Although you are sleeping all the time you aren't getting the right kind of restful sleep and we aren't getting sleep at all. Or in my case...once I get to sleep...I continue to wake up all night and also have vivid dreams and struggle to get to the deep good restful sleep because I'm stuck in the REM or just going to sleep phases - similar to you! I didn't realize this. Thank you for sharing! I know (some) of your pain. :(
