Beating N with Espresso, alcohol and...

Dont try this at home kids....

I was just wondering if anybody has found smoking drinking and coffee a help with N... I quit smoking and about six months later I was at the docs about my EDS ...diagnosed with N and struggled with it for a year.. back on the smokes about six months and I find that they help me stay awake when I feel an attack comming on...anyine else ?

I find that If I have one beer say at a BBQ I fall asleep shortly afterwards..however if I go out partying and drink quite a lot I can stay awake all night ????

I was told that cafine was bad for narcoleptics but I have found that the only way I can stay awake in the cinema is the start the flick with a double espresso !

Is there anyone out there who feels the same ?
