I Can’t Stop Falling Asleep | TRULY

SUBSCRIBE to Barcroft TV: bit.ly/Oc61Hj
A PERSONAL TRAINER suffers with an extreme form of narcolepsy - a condition that causes her to uncontrollably fall asleep up to 15 times a day. For most people, sleep is a luxury, but for Belle Hutt, it’s something she spends most of her time trying to avoid. Whether she’s sat in a restaurant with a group of friends, or she’s on the sofa at home watching a film, the 23-year-old has to battle excessive sleepiness, hallucinations and cataplexy on a daily basis. Belle, from Surrey, was diagnosed with the condition when she was 17. It was impossible for her to study and she had to drop out of college. Narcolepsy has since left her unable to work a full-time job, but fortunately, Belle has found two big saviours in her life - personal training and her boyfriend, Maikel Breukelman.

Hello!

[@ArDeeMee]

I have just sooo many similar symptoms, the exhaustion, sleep paralysis, etc. I sleep, but gain nothing from it. My diagnosis? Unknown sleep disorder. Whelp, at least I can say I tried... Also, just to shut up your critics (and quiet your own curiosity), I would still say to try a rigid sleep-wake-cycle with no naps for a few weeks. I think I lasted three and a half weeks before giving up. Trying to walk, talk, or care for your children while your body actively shuts down just didn‘t work, it turns out. I still have the ‚children‘ problem, but they are older now, and they know that sometimes mommy will just grab a blanket and slump to the side for an hour or so.

[@josephbrinley5201]

@@ArDeeMee Did you have a MSLT (Multi Sleep Latency Test)?

[@ArDeeMee]

@@josephbrinley5201 yes, that‘s where the diagnosis comes from. My patterns don‘t quite fit narcolepsy, and I lack the genetic markers associated with it. So I get all the inconveniences without having a name to point out to others. At least I don‘t (yet) have sleep apnea, so that‘s something positive. ;)

Same as with all these people who unfortunately have some sort of condition but yet they become popular online and seem to gather people's attention not only because of their condition but also because they are good-looking and lead a great living style. I have though many times if they weren't as attractive as they are people wouldn't be all over them, complimenting them. After all, it is a fact that attractive people can get away with things unattractive people can't.

[@nfs6175]

Hi, just to clarify. I myself have narcolepsy. The reason why she’s probably able to do that is because of the medication she’s taking (6:19). Ever since I was diagnosed with narcolepsy, the medications has enabled me to live a somewhat normal life :) of course, depending on the med, the one I take lasts for a few hours at a time before I start being sleepy and losing muscle control that I’d have to pop another pill.

I’m on very strong meds now for which i am very grateful. I hope she finds the right Sleep Specialist and right meds.

I have a lot of dreams. they are very vivid and terrifying. The bigger problem is that when I wake up, I recall the dreams perfectly, sometimes even years later. The dreams also tend to “bleed” over into my waking state. Having suffered from this for 40+ years, I have difficulty distinguishing dreams from real memories. So it’s quite complicated & I’m still learning a lot about it.

I work for a Sleep Medicine clinic and I can totally sympathize with her. A lot of our patients have to take Ritalin or Adderall just to function. Even when they fall asleep constantly, they’re not getting actual rest, so it’s almost like reaching your deepest sleep and then being jerked awake. Imagine that feeling all day long. Lack of good sleep can totally mess with your head, that’s where the hallucinations come from. It’s really good that she has people in her life to get through this. Then she had a great attitude about it. It’s really great to see her thriving even with such a tough condition.

It's probably not as rose colored as you think. The editing in this video is supposed to make you think that. You can notice a dark tone in his voice when he explains they no longer watch series together. In essence, he stopped even trying. He's a good looking guy, and she is very desperate.

[@johnames6430]

a man who only cares about looks? Most men won't stay with her because it's not a good sign when someone has a health problem like that and hallucinations. Normally you would try to pick a healthy mate.

[@torvamessorem6686]

@Winter Soldier Yeah, but like I said, it probably not great as it seems. You have to keep in mind that she is all alone in a country that isn't her own. She has an illness that few understand, much less wanna deal with. So she's more or less stuck with this guy. Now let's look at the guy. He's good looking, has a house in Amsterdam which isn't cheap, so he probably has a good job too. This guy could go with any other girl that is a lot less of a hassle. And that look in his eyes when he talks tells me that he is just using her because she's easy and desperate. She's asleep most of the day and probably receives some generous benefits, maybe rich parents too? I could be entirely wrong of course. But when I see this guy who has all the options in the world in terms of picking a female partner, and he goes with a "problem case", the chances of him being a knight in shining armor are a lot smaller than him just using her for something.

[@rob098890]

Please wear a helmet on that bike girl! I almost died on a scooter recently and I had a full face helmet on! Upvote so she see's this, honestly it's so important. Helmets save lives and I don't think I'd be here if I didn't wear one when riding.

[@6toeNL]

Legally not needed on mopeds which have a Max speed of 25km/h in the Netherlands. Those have blue license plates. Great documentary by the way. I hope it doesn't get worse.

[@rob098890]

I know it's not always legally required but it's just good practice! Car drivers just don't see you a lot of the time and I personally may well have been dead had I not been wearing one when a van came out in front of me. I'm sure she's a safe driver but there's so many unsafe drivers on the road and that's the issue!

[@tiamarie6719]

I don't think it's safe for her to drive any vehicles in her condition, because if she falls asleep in the middle of the road it could be fatal. But, you're right. She should definitely wear a helmet, at least. I hope she can get some sort of treatment, to keep her awake for a normal amount of hours. I feel sorry for her because, people with narcolepsy miss out on a lot of their lives. I'm glad I don't have that disability, no offense.

[@rob098890]

Maybe there's a reason she drives a scooter and not a car.. I could see her falling asleep at the wheel of a car but I mean on a bike you've got the wind in your face and you're always quite aware that you're travelling at speed.

[@mayallyourbaconburn7133]

House Music Everyday I think it’s a bromfiets it doesn’t go very fast a d she can travel on the cycle paths with it. So might she fall she isn’t in as much danger. But with her condition it is recommendable but recent research showed that helmets only give minimal protection.

[@puck34fan]

I have chronic fatigue, which is nowhere near as tough as narcolepsy. I feel for you sweetheart. Being tired is so hard. I feel your pain.

[@kevinfennimore7980]

I recovered from extreme chronic fatigue less than two years ago. I was at one point sleeping 11hrs a day and feeling deathly tired. My chiropractor also practices in something called nutrition response therapy. In short, I was tested and then was prescribed a specific to my case set of natural supplements, at certain dosages and I continue to get tested/updated about once a month to stay on track. I have 100% recovered my life.

Narcoleptics can drive. Yes there is a higher risk of falling asleep while driving, but it’s not impossible...

[@TheMusicManKyle]

Usually with narcolepsy, doing something that causes anxiety, adrenaline, or an increased heart rate will keep you awake. Narcolepsy is when the heart rate slows down to the point that the brain thinks it's time to sleep, so driving usually isn't an issue.

[@yesyesyes666]

narcolepsy is the opposite of epilepsy. in narcolepsy the brain isnt stimulated enough in epilepsy, it is over stimulated

[@thegeorgiemoore]

interestingly they’ve discovered that GABA may contribute to excessive sleepiness disorders. gaba is the opposite of glutamate. glutamate is an excitatory neurotransmitter that speeds up the brain essentially, and that can cause seizures. gaba is an inhibitory neurotransmitter and slows down the brain in a sense. while it sounds kind of silly to say that epilepsy is the opposite of narcolepsy, you’re not wrong really.
