5 Exercise Frequently
Exercising is another way to stimulate the body to produce more wakeful hormones. You’ll find with narcolepsy that you are more inclined to fall asleep during boring activities. That’s because there is a lack of the excitatory hormones and neurotransmitters produced when something important or exciting is going on.
By exercising, you stimulate the production of adrenaline, cortisol, dopamine, and more. All these things work to elevate your heart rate, increase blood pressure, increase activity in the brain and more. In short, you become far more alert and awake which helps to prevent you from sleeping.
