Define Narcolepsy

Rough definition of narcolepsy is a disease easy to sleep, the opposite of insomnia, a disease where people can sleep very much at all, can be up to> 20 hours a day.

Can sleep while the road, ride motorcycles, or lead a meeting. The causes can range from psychological and physical, attacking anyone and does not depend on age.

Those who would ever watch the movie Rat Race (comedy) story of a unique race among some people to get to a location, who was first to get some money, the actual participants race betting had become the object of a gambling club. In this film there is a character played by Rowan Atkinson aka Mr. Bean, in which time he again ran, he could fall asleep, middle of the road anyway.

Because it's in the movie, I'm not so sure until one day I see patients with Narcolepsy. It is said that first-class people with Narcolepsy can indeed fall asleep while walking or driving a motor, coincidentally, my campus was suddenly booming this disease, so I want to tell you much about it.

Physically, there are some patients with narcolepsy who have impaired lung function and breathing. But there is also when undergoing a test sleep, known to have high levels of up to a dozen dreams, normal people have a level of 1-2 last night dream

Noted that some bank officials, suffer from this disease and should seek treatment in Singapore, and I happened to see the coverage on TV about this disease. Indeed there is a drug that can not sleep 3 days, and it is usually given as therapy.
