Narcolepsy


We saw a video from a guy with narcolepsy. It seems horrible to have narcolepsy. The guy suddenly just fell out of nothing and went asleep. Narcolepsy is a neurological disorder that affects the control of sleep and wakefulness.  It occurs in  sudden sleep attacks, and it usually begins between the ages of 15 and 25. The causes for narcolepsy are unknown, but some think it is due to genes and or biological reasons. Someone with narcolepsy is like a little child because it needs someone to take care of him. They have a very differrent life than the rest of us. He/she would have different jobs, and will be treated differently. Imagine yourself to have sudden sleep attacks. You won't be able to control yourself. Just think of the dangers you have in life. A lot of jobs for example car racing, involve full attention and you would die if you fell asleep. Also simple activities as driving, or going out to the street a normal day would be dangerous. If you have narcolepsy you run serious danger and would need someone to take care of you all the time. The guy we say in the video even used a helmet, and his mother took care of him the whole day. Something amazing he did was going to a place long from his home which is a challange for him.
