Travel

Go places. Plan recovery too.

Most travel plans cover flights and hotels and forget the energy. NAP plans both — the trip, and the days on either side of it.

Sections

What Travel covers

  • Flying with narcolepsy

    Planned

    Choosing flight times around your windows, planning for a long day in transit, and what to do when the schedule slips.

  • Work trips

    Planned

    Client days away from home: mapping the trip's energy demands before agreeing to the itinerary.

  • Packing

    Planned

    A repeatable packing approach so it does not require a good day to do well.

  • Medication preparation

    Planned

    General organizational prompts only — timing, documentation, and storage questions to raise with your clinician or pharmacist before you travel.

  • Airports and long travel days

    Planned

    Buffers, seating, quiet spaces, and planning the parts of the day you cannot control.

  • Hotel routines

    Planned

    Making an unfamiliar room more predictable: light, sound, temperature, and a short repeatable wind-down.

  • Time-zone changes

    Planned

    Planning around a shifted schedule, and being realistic about the first and last day of a trip.

  • Solo travel

    Planned

    Planning for the fact that no one else is holding the logistics, including check-ins and contingencies.

  • Road trips

    Planned

    Driving safety is a clinical matter first. Practical planning covers stops, shared driving, and route timing.

  • Recovery after travel

    Planned

    Treating the return day as part of the trip rather than the day you catch up on everything.

  • Travel products and recommendations

    Planned

    Items that genuinely help long travel days, labeled honestly. Nothing is recommended before it has actually been used or carefully researched.

Safety and medication

Where to get the real answer

NAP does not give individualized medical instructions. For anything involving medication timing, dosing, prescriptions, or documentation while traveling, talk with your clinician or pharmacist. For carrying medication across borders or through security, use official guidance from the relevant transportation authority, airline, embassy, or customs agency for your route. For driving and alertness, follow your clinician's advice and the licensing rules where you live.
