Narcolepsy is a chronic neurological disorder involving the loss of the brain's ability to regulate sleep-wake cycles. Symptoms include excessive daytime sleepiness, comparable to how people who don't have narcolepsy feel after 24–48 hours of sleep deprivation, as well as disturbed sleep which often is confused with insomnia. Another common symptom of narcolepsy is cataplexy, a sudden and transient episode of muscle weakness accompanied by full conscious awareness, typically (though not necessarily) triggered by emotions such as laughing, crying, terror, etc. affecting roughly 70% of people who have narcolepsy.
The system which regulates sleep, arousal, and transitions between these states in humans is composed of three interconnected subsystems: the orexin projections from the lateral hypothalamus, the reticular activating system, and the ventrolateral preoptic nucleus. In narcoleptic individuals, these systems are all associated with impairments due to a greatly reduced number of hypothalamic orexin projection neurons and significantly fewer orexin neuropeptides in cerebrospinal fluid and neural tissue, compared to non-narcoleptic individuals. Those with narcolepsy generally experience the REM stage of sleep within 5 minutes of falling asleep, while people who don't have narcolepsy (unless they are significantly sleep deprived) do not experience REM until after a period of slow-wave sleep, which lasts for about the first hour or so of a sleep cycle.
I have narcolepsy with cataplexy, and it can be very frustrating to try to explain what it's like to people who have never seen narcolepsy in real life, and how much of a struggle it can be. Most people think that it's funny until they see what actually happens, or they are completely unprepared and get really scared and panic.I filmed this by accident, and it was really weird to go back and watch later from an outside perspective. I am posting this video as a way to help educate people, so please no trolling. Just like people with epilepsy, I can't control having a sleep attack or cataplexy any more than they can control having a seizure. Thank you for your understanding. And in case you were wondering what I kept looking at, I had the choreography written out next to the camera so that ...
Sleepy Man - National Geographic Narcolepsy - Dee Daud Dee Daud suffring from Narcolepsy, sleeps more than 18hours a day. Narcolepsy: Described as a sleep disorder, a medical disorder, a neurological disorder, and, most recently, an autoimmune disorder, all and none of those labels precisely convey what it means to have poor control over your sleep-wake cycles. People with narcolepsy experience “sleep attacks,” or sudden, irresistible temptations to sleep that can strike at any time and may last a few seconds or several minutes. At the same time, they often cannot sleep at night, while feeling extremely sleepy throughout the day. Symptoms also include sleep paralysis, hallucinations, and cataplexy, which affect about 70 percent of all people with narcolepsy. Cataplexy is unique to narc...

After the wonderfully kind and encouraging responses I received after posting my last What Narcolepsy Really Looks Like video, and after having so many people asking me for more information, I decided it would be worth the risk to go ahead and continue the series with what it's like to try to study when you can't keep your eyes open for more than an hour or two every time you sit down in front of your books. Thank you all so much for your kind words and continued support. I wouldn't have had the courage to continue raising awareness about my condition if it hadn't been for all of you (or to show my face on youtube with very little makeup and my hair sticking out every direction). You have my eternal gratitude. Hugs all around! Music: Grass by Silent Partner For the first video in the seri...

i should warn you
i go to sleep
i know you don't
know what i mean
i get upset or happy
i go to sleep
nothing hurts when
i go to sleep
but i'm not tired
i'm not tired
i know it seems that i don't care
but something in me does i swear
i don't remember all last year
i left you awake to cry the tears
while i was dreaming in streams
flowing between the shores
of joy and sadness
i'm drowning
save me
wake me up
i should warn you
i go to sleep
you won't know when i go to sleep
because i'm not tired
i'm not tired
