I once went all-in with double sessions every day because I thought more hours meant faster improvement. After a couple of weeks, I was sore, tired, and even started losing pace instead of gaining it. Couldn’t sleep properly either, which made it worse. Only when I took a break and added some stretching, light swimming, and proper sleep did my energy levels bounce back. Honestly, rest days turned out to be more valuable than I imagined.

I’ve noticed I often say yes to things I don’t really want to do, just to avoid disappointing people. Then I end up drained and frustrated with myself for not speaking up. Lately I’ve been trying to figure out how to set boundaries without feeling guilty or selfish, but it’s tough to unlearn old habits. Has anyone found practical ways to start respecting their own needs without pushing others away?

As a long-term neurological condition, narcolepsy is sadly usually irreversible. It arises from the brain's incapacity to appropriately control sleep-wake cycles, frequently as a result of low levels of the brain chemical hypocretin. Although narcolepsy is thought to be a lifelong disorder, with the right care, symptoms may gradually improve.
