In this powerful and vulnerable episode of Narcolepsy Navigators, we sit down with Alexander, a 28-year-old from Pennsylvania who shares one of the most unique and spiritually profound narcolepsy journeys we’ve heard yet. Diagnosed at 17, his story moves through misdiagnosis, heavy stimulants, sleep paralysis, terrifying hallucinations, dopamine-seeking behaviors, pre-workout amphetamines, and how he rebuilt his life by shifting his mindset — spiritually, psychologically, and physically.

TOPICS COVERED:

• Narcolepsy diagnosis experience
• Sleep paralysis + hallucinations
• Dopamine regulation & reward cycles
• Pre-workout supplements & hidden stimulants
• Trauma + head injuries
• Spiritual awakenings
• Mushrooms as spiritual tools
• Self-healing mindset
• Cataplexy experiences
• Redefining narcolepsy as “adaptation” instead of “disease.
