Good afternoon! I have narcolepsy/cataplexy. In the past I’ve done a low carb / ketogenic diet, and every time it had a dramatic impact on my excessive daytime sleepiness. My energy levels were even better if I did intermittent fasting as well. Seems like glucose levels might impact the hypocretin/orexin system but there’s not a ton of research yet.
Have you heard anything like that before?
