How do you cure/treat this WORST narcolepsy?


narcolepsy (excessive daytime sleepiness) with hypnogogic hallucinations

that or at least i sleep for short periods of time even at midday without knowing it (coz of hypnogogic hallucinations)

plus, i sleeptalk everytime i sleep, so i do it at day too, and i seem stupid and idiotic when other people are around, they're just suddenly gonna hear me say stuff everytime the narcolepsy-sleeptalking combo happens

-Stick to a schedule. Go to sleep and wake up at the same time every day, including weekends.
-Take naps. Schedule short naps at regular intervals during the day. Short naps at strategic times during the day may be refreshing and may help you stay awake for a few hours.
-Avoid nicotine and alcohol. Using these substances can worsen your signs and symptoms.
-Get regular exercise. Moderate, regular exercise may help you feel more awake during the day and sleep better at night.
-Talk about it. Tell your employer or teachers about your condition and work together to find ways to accommodate your needs. This may include taking naps during the day, breaking up monotonous tasks, tape-recording meetings or class periods, standing during meetings or lectures, and taking brisk walks at various times throughout the day.
-Be safe. If you must drive a long distance, work with your doctor to establish a medication schedule that ensures the greatest likelihood of wakefulness during your drive. Stop for naps and exercise breaks whenever you feel drowsy. Don't drive if you feel your sleepiness is not well controlled.
Support groups and counseling can help you cope with narcolepsy.

The drug RITALIN is most commonly used to treat narcolepsy.
