Using Ears Up with narcolepsy
Updated November 6, 2026
In short: Ears Up is a gentle daytime sleepiness diary: one-tap check-ins on how awake you feel, a quick log when sleep catches you, and a picture of when in the day your dips tend to land. It is not a full narcolepsy symptom journal and does not record cataplexy, sleep paralysis, hallucinations or medication doses. If you want something light for the sleepiness part of your day, that is what Ears Up is for.
What Ears Up covers
- How awake you feel, one tap on five plain-language steps, as often as suits you.
- Times sleep caught you, logged in two taps, without judgment.
- Naps and other things you tried, with a calm read on what tends to be followed by a more awake stretch.
- Your rhythm, hour by hour, so you can see when dips and sleep episodes tend to cluster.
What it does not cover
Ears Up deliberately keeps to daytime sleepiness. It does not have entries for cataplexy, sleep paralysis, hallucinations, disrupted night sleep or medication doses. If you need a record of those, use a dedicated narcolepsy journal or the form your sleep team gave you, and keep Ears Up for the quick, gentle part of the day if it helps.
Why it is small on purpose
A complete symptom log is valuable and also a lot to keep up with on a heavy day. Ears Up aims to be the opposite: one question, one tap, no streaks and no scores, so it still works on the days you have the least to give.
Private by design
No account and no sign-up. Your check-ins are stored on your phone, and you can export them whenever you like.
