In this episode I talk about the diagnosis procedures and eventually management tools for narcolepsy. At the moment there is no known cure for Narcolepsy. This however does not mean that those living with the condition cannot go after their ambitions . With the right support and management tools, one can still go through their day with less burden of living with the condition. Some of these tools are medication, planned naps, treatment of underlying conditions, energy management and also knowing your sleep. Tune in to hear these and more in details. #Sleepdisorders #narcolepsy #migniot #naps #cataplexy #esrs #maastrich #osa #treatment

This episode touched on some events / occurrences in sleep that at times get captured during sleep studies. These events are sometimes symptoms of real disorders. Some are harmless physiological processes associated with changes in bodily operations during sleep.

This episode revolves around what happens during and after a sleep study is done. This is mainly backed up from my experience in the Lab I am and can vary widely in other places. The differences should however not be huge as the procedures for diagnosing and treating different sleep disorders don’t vary much.

This episode explores what is frequently not spoken about. War is an unfortunate event where there are no winners. Those who survive wars carry deeper wounds and at times never really get to ever live life normally. The brain doesn’t forget some of the experiences and continues replaying some scenes over and over again, affecting different aspects and quality of life way longer that when the actual experience happened. Some of these are highlighted in this story that I hope will bring some enlightenment to anyone who can relate and the courage to live through this difficult reality to many.
