What foods should you avoid with narcolepsy?

[darcymiller]

Avoiding certain foods that may exacerbate symptoms or interfere with sleep patterns may be beneficial for those who suffer from narcolepsy. Limiting foods rich in sugar and refined carbs is advised since they may cause energy dumps and interfere with restful sleep. Even with the usage of drugs like Modvigil 200mg (which contains modafinil) to control daytime drowsiness, it is still recommended to drink caffeinated beverages in moderation and to avoid them just before bed to avoid disrupting sleep at night. In order to ease pain and encourage better sleep, it is also advisable to avoid heavy meals—especially ones that are strong in fat or spice—right before bed. In addition to supporting general health, choosing a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, lean meats, and whole grains may help narcoleptics sleep better.
