Maybe try taking classes at the gym. I actually find exercise to be quite energizing. Or just go to work out without a class. That can fill part of your time.

Not sure what else. I'm kinda a computer geek... playing games like WoW and Sims lol

I guess it deepends on what have had interest in. you don't have to be michael Angelo to express your creativity.
did you see the post that wayfinder posted...
Depiction of narcolepsy I was inspired
and if yoiu don't like what you see then think that ones mans trash is another treasure.
so how ever you choose to express yourself it will be great becuase it is you original idea

HA! me too! I play wow because I am board stiff plus I dont get out of the house often so this is where I make friends. My sister lives in Washington so I get to spend time with her when I play wow.....hehe
But I do have other hobbies....I like to bead and create birds out of gourds and throw the frisbee for my dogs

So for the past couple weeks, my medicine really started working REALLY well. For having to miss at least one shift at my workstudy to not missing any and being awake most of the day... I'm finding that I too, have too much time on my hands. I hope more people post to this because I need to find more stuff to do. I'd get another job, but the economy has everyone in hiring freeze. Stinky. I wish I felt more comfy driving, I'd go to the gym more. I try yoga at home but I don't have much idea what I'm doing there lol

After trying a couple different meds my DR gave me somthing that works - just like that I went from unable to finish an entire conversation without falling asleep to have FREE TIME!!! I'v filled every single second with all the things I've let pile up over the years. Also done some writing and got back into songwriting.
Something you might enjoy.... I had a bubble-bath for the first time in YEARS since I didn't think I'd fall asleep and drown. Unfortunately my clumsy cat tried to jump up on the sink in the bathroom to watch - and missed. It made me laugh and opps - the hand holding my i-pod lost control just long enough for my i-pod to disappear into the water :P

Enjoy your new freedom!!

Whenever i have some time to myself i like to draw. It doesn't matter if you're good at it.. no one has to see. Just try it and see if you like it. I don't have a great imagination... i can't just think up something and draw it, i usually look at something and draw it, i'll look up a picture online and then recreate it. Find a pic of a favorite cartoon character, etc. Also, with a busy school schedule, my apartment becomes a mess, so sometimes i clean everything up when i have time too... don't know if that helps, that's just what i do.

Scrapbook. Pull out all those old photos, and start going thru them. Find groups that you think are really great, and do something fun with them. THere are tons of free digital scrapbook sites, and you can do digital scrapbook pages, and email them to people. This is totally fun, and usually free. I also like to find little boxes and use decorated paper to make them look fun. There are a million and one websites full of ideas and examples. You can spend a fortune on it, but it is just as easy to find ways to do it for next to nothing, if not for free. And the end result is very rewarding. I also like to quilt, and make doll clothes for my little girl's american girl doll. I also belong to a "card club" which is a group of women in my neighborhood who get together and we trade home made greeting cards. We have a theme, and you design and make a card, and make as many copies of it as there are people in the group. Then you bring them to the club meetings, and you get one of everyones cards. So if you have 10 people in your group, you make 10 cards, and you get 10 cards. IT is great. I have the coolest collection of cards for all occasions, and people always rave about them when I give them away. I keep a photo copy of each one in a scrapjournal, so I can use the idea later on, if I decide to give the card away. Totally fun. Totally addictive.

maybe you could spend your free time teaching all us narcs how to manage N so well as to be able to physically work for 60-70 hours a week, what was your job? how did you do it? i'd be happy if i could find a job i could comfortably work for 30 hours a week at.
