Narcolepsy

Narcolepsy is a vastly under-diagnosed, misunderstood and potentially disabling disorder that affects 1 in 2,000 people. Key symptoms are excessive daytime sleepiness, or sleep attacks, that occur at inappropriate times. Those who suffer from narcolepsy may fall asleep in meetings, in school, while driving, even while talking to someone. The condition is also associated with sleep paralysis, vivid dreams while trying to fall asleep, and in some cases sudden muscle weakness that accompanies strong emotion.
