Do you know what narcolepsy is? Do you have it or do you know anyone who does? I have narcolepsy, it has affected me since I was a teenager although I only had it properly diagnosed a couple of years ago. In case you don't know what it is, narcolepsy is a sleep disorder which can make you fall asleep at anytime, unexpectedly and there is nothing you can do about it. Some people with the condition also have cataplexy which makes your body go limp when you become emotional or excited, luckily i don't really suffer with this aspect. I would be very interested to hear your opinions, experiences etc and especially to get in touch with other people who have this condition.

Hello magickat. I don't know about narcolespsy, nor do I have it. I think that it is terrible to have narcolepsy. I think that the most important for one is to have a regular schedule to make sure one's life stays normal without getting his life rhythm bothered as to suffer from narcolepsy.

Having a routine definitely helps, I try to go to bed at the same time each night. I also sleep on the train to and from work - unfortunately I sometimes miss my stop! Thanks for your comment.
