Falling asleep when I don’t want to, same time every day, I’m told its narcolepsy. Now I feel like I can’t move, like I’m paralyzed, in my sleep, but not a dream. Ifyou have one or both, can you give me tips on what I can take to make it better.

First of all who told you that you had narcolepsy or even catoplexy. You need to see a pulmonologist who is also a board certified sleep specialist. Only then after a battery of test will you have a definite diagnosis. There are medications that can be taken, these are by prescription only. They are not to be treated lightly. I understand your concerns and frustration. My husband has sleep apnea with pickwickian syndrome. Pickwickian is very similar to narcolepsy. He is much better now that he is under the care of a MD and is following his advice. Contact your MD and ask for a referral as they usually take about a month to get into see one. Best of luck.
A. See a doctor or B. Hire a drill sargeant to scream down your throat when your eyes close.
