Narcolepsy: It is like a sleeping disorder where you fall asleep instantly
not under your control. The strange sleep about Narcolepsy is that you may have
gotten a good night sleep, but you still may have the attacks to or 15 minutes
after waking up. Impressive stats about Narcolepsy are that you have this sleep
attacks around 60 times a day. In the video we just watched Mohammed has this
serious and hard problem. We could see in this documentary that he was just talking
to the camera about the disease and he fell asleep instantly. He had to be accompanied
by his wife everywhere he wanted to go. This guy also has Cataplexy. It is when
you lose control of your muscles and when you have the attack you go to sleep
and fall down. I could see in the video that he fell to the ground every time
he had the attack. He even fell on a museum and on a London sidewalk. The sad
part of this for Mohammed was that he was so excited in going to the London
Science Museum (it is his favorite place) that he had the attack various times.
It is just hard to have Narcolepsy, you don’t live a normal life, and people
may think other things about you. It is very hard for a person as well to control
the problem, it is just tough and sad to see this occurrence.
