Hi Jaimie! You and I seem to have so much in common! I, just like you, think this wiki is such an amazing place because of the people here. I love that your friends are your inspirational rainbows! I’m going to borrow that, if you don’t mind, and say that you’re a rainbow for me! 🌈😊

I’m so sorry you suffer from insomnia, but it appears that you work with it well by knowing when the weaker parts of your days are and the parts where you have some strength and you adjust your schedule accordingly. It has taken me several years to learn that lesson, but I’m so glad I did! Life is much more manageable for me when I can work with my narcolepsy, instead of pushing myself against it or through it. I can have periods of insomnia too, which surprises some people who think people with narcolepsy can always fall asleep and easily. While narcolepsy does involve falling asleep at inappropriate times, it goes both ways. I can be awake at inappropriate times, too. My brain is always confused about whether it should be awake or asleep. If you picture a “firewall” in the middle of your brain with awake on one side of the wall, and asleep on the other, that’s a picture of a brain without narcolepsy. My “firewall” has “holes” in it, allowing sleep to creep into awake, and awake creeping into sleep. I can’t control it, but the medicine I’m on, which I only take at nighttime helps my brain be somewhat not confused for about the first half of my day, so that’s when I get my gifting and visiting done. That way I don’t make too many mistakes! 😊 Then I sleep a good part of the afternoon, and then I finally play some. This game is so good for my brain!

I hope you’re enjoying your weekend so far and that you have a wonderful Saturday! Hugs! 🤗🌸🤗
