The very biggest issue with Narcolepsy is the absolute brain-dead tiredness. When a "nap attack" happens it is virtually impossible to stay awake at all. And if one does manage to remain awake in this condition, his (or her) actions may resemble that of a sleepwalker. Thoughts are muddled and the Narcoleptic Patient becomes very irritated with themselves and at the thought of an imminent nap which will hinder any activity or chore that was planned for the day...
As a Narcoleptic Patient I must sleep almost immediately when the attack happens... I sleep for roughly two hours every four hours. I can sleep anywhere, anytime... Except at night.
