Question: how do you cope with insomniac nights?

Advice Request

I'm writing this as the sun rises after another night of insomnia. They don't happen all the time, but when one hits it diseupts my schedule entirely.

One thing that's surprised me with narcolepsy is insomnia now means a whole night of no sleep. It's like my brain is the bartender and cuts me off.

After nights like these, the day can be a mess. A needing-help-to-walk-safely-across-the-road day. But I feel to give in and nap opens the door for another bad night. It's a gamble.

What do you all do?
