Really cute idea from this morning because I never really posted about the massive black holes caused by narcolepsy's whole constant sleep deprivation.

The longer I post, the more I start to enjoy drawing little cheeks on these guys

Raising narcolepsy awareness starts by knowing:

•not all narcolepsy is the same.

• Sleep attacks can happen rapidly OR slowly for hours.

• there are two types of narcolepsy, N1 and N2

• cataplexy affects muscle tone, and can happen before or after a sleep attack

•Our exhaustion is not fixed by more sleep :)

Idk what it is about narcolepsy that pisses people off so bad. It’s not fun little naps. It’s not getting well rested. It’s not something I can control.

My brain shuts down. I will never be rested in my life. I have no control of when or why it happens. I promise it sucks way, way more for me than for you.

If someone sleeps for hours and hours a day, every single day, it’s not a good fucking sign their body is functioning well.

So when a cat sleeps 14 hours tjats fine but when i do it its narcolepsy im sick of these double standards

Here’s my experience with narcolepsy so far

WHY AM I AWAKE (it’s like 2am)

WHY AM I ASLEEP (several times throughout the day)

Laughs too hard I CaNT fEel My BoNeS

Cry’s too hard I CANT FEEL MY BONES

Yawn, yawn, yawn, yawn, yawn, yawn, yawn, yawn, yawn, yawn, yawn, yawn. Ya—

I fucking LOVE my bed

Nap, nap, nap, nap, nap, nap, nap, nap, nap, nap, nap, nap, nap

Goodnight (me several times throughout the day)

Missed calls from friends AND my doctors
