Narcolepsy
Statistics show that around 1 in 2000 people have Narcolepsy.
Nacrolepsy relates to unstable switching between being awake and asleep. People who have Narcrolepsy can feel more sleepy more often than they would like, but may have disrupted sleep, and can also hallucinate. This happens when falling asleep or waking up. Sometimes when they wake up, they can't move for a moment. This is called sleep paralysis. They can also have what is known as cataplexy. This means sudden feelings of muscle weakness. They only last a moment and happen after laughing or feeling a strong emotion. Not everyone with Narcolepsy has all these problems. Drug therapies can work very well. Sleep paralysis can occur by itself with no relation to Narcolepsy.
Sleep Drunkenness
Imagine being awakened from a deep sleep where, instead of feeling ready to take on the day, you feel confused, tense, or a sense of an adrenaline rush. If you’ve experienced such feelings, you may have had an episode of sleep drunkenness. Sleep drunkenness is a sleep disorder that describes feelings of sudden action or reflex upon waking up. It’s also called confusional arousal. Estimates show that it happens in 1 in 7 adults, but the actual number of people can be much greater.
Some people use a vibrating watch or vibrating clock to help them wake up at times they need to stay alert.
