Narcolepsy is
a malfunction of the sleep/wake regulating system in the brain of
unknown origin. Its most common manifestation is an irresistible
tendency to fall asleep, even in unlikely circumstances such as
in the middle of a conversation or at a meal.
Insomniacs
- Narcolepsy is a rare condition where the sufferer falls asleep
up to ten times a day. They have no control over the disorder and
although they may feel refreshed after their sleep another episode
may follow within a short space of time. Most of us are aware of feeling
sleepy and can control when and where we sleep. Sufferers of Narcolepsy
may feel extreme tiredness, and will have sleep attacks which they
are unable to control. 3/5
