Day 8: Narcolepsy

The Unau­tho­rized Biog­ra­phy of Rein­hold Mess­ner (1999)

Wikipedia describes the symp­toms of nar­colepsy thusly: The main char­ac­ter­is­tic of nar­colepsy is exces­sive day­time sleepi­ness (EDS), even after ade­quate night time sleep. A per­son with nar­colepsy is likely to become drowsy or to fall asleep, often at inap­pro­pri­ate times and places. Day­time naps may occur with­out warn­ing and may be phys­i­cally irre­sistible. These naps can occur sev­eral times a day. They are typ­i­cally refresh­ing, but only for a few hours. Drowsi­ness may per­sist for pro­longed peri­ods of time. In addi­tion, night time sleep may be frag­mented with fre­quent awakenings.

This song is about a per­son with nar­colepsy. And, yes, it’s awesome.
