It's very common for people with narcolepsy to feel tired all the time, and it can be hard to find the energy to exercise regularly. However, keeping fit is a key part of managing narcolepsy and reducing the impact it has on day-to-day life.
It's important not to push too hard and use all your energy up on exercise and then find there is no energy left for anything else. Having the guidance of a personal trainer or exercise physiologist is helpful in this regard to map out a regular exercise routine that maintains fitness, but does not completely exhaust your enery stores.Report this post
