  1. I fell asleep on a stranger’s shoulder in an airplane and I’m pretty sure I drooled on them also I always fall asleep in lecture in the front row.

  2. The worst for me is falling asleep standing up because then I fall over. 10 times a day. Once I was shopping at a Walmart, reaching for something, and fell asleep in that position. A lady came up, "Are you ok, honey? Are you ok?" By that time, a crowd had gathered to see the human statue.

    1. That must have been awfully embarassing, . You'd thinking one of those people would have done something rather than simply stare. Have you found anything that helps in recent years? - Lori (Team Member)

  3. This isn't embarrassing, but dangerous. I've fallen asleep driving. Once I sat through 2 light cycles till someone banged on my windows and woke me up telling me they called an ambulance so I just took off and went home. Now if I'm sleepy at all I have someone else drive while I sleep to get to an appointment. I actually fell asleep writing this

    1. How scary. First responders are often unfamiliar with narcolepsy as well, so I hate to thing about what you might have gone through had the ambulance arrived while you were still there. - Lori (Team Member)

  4. I fell asleep at a job interview, apparently I'm not waitress material lol

    1. I can see that waitressing with narcolepsy might be a little difficult. 😀 Did you ever find work? - Lori (Team Member)
