Start here
Whether narcolepsy is new, familiar, suspected, misunderstood, or simply exhausting today, NAP is designed to help you find something useful without reading the entire internet first.
Pathways
Every pathway points to what exists now and is honest about what is still being written.
A diagnosis can be a relief, a shock, or both at once. You do not have to reorganize your whole life this week. Start with what the day actually feels like, then borrow one planning habit at a time.
NAP cannot diagnose you, and nothing here should be read as an assessment. What does help is documenting your own experience — sleep, alertness through the day, and how it affects work and safety — and bringing that record to a qualified healthcare professional.
Ambition is not the problem. Systems that assume every hour is equally usable are. Start with energy-aware planning, then organize your own notes before any workplace or school conversation.
The goal is not a perfect routine. It is a day that asks less unnecessary energy of you, with rest built in rather than earned.
Travel plans usually cover flights and hotels and forget the energy. Plan the trip and the recovery in the same sitting.
Wanting to help and not knowing how is an extremely common place to start. Reading about the invisible parts is usually more useful than offering sleep advice.
No introduction needed. The planner is free and works right now.
Start with a story
The founder's story is the shortest route into what NAP is for: years of unexplained exhaustion, a Type 1 narcolepsy diagnosis, and the practical question that came next.
I spent most of my life believing constant exhaustion was something I simply had to manage. Receiving a Type 1 narcolepsy diagnosis gave me an answer—and an entirely new question: now what?
