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.
I hope the stranger was kind about it. You might have answered this before, but do your professors know you have narcolepsy? Are they understanding when you fall asleep during lectures? Wishing you the best. - Lori (Team Member)
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.
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)
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
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)
I fell asleep at a job interview, apparently I'm not waitress material lol
I can see that waitressing with narcolepsy might be a little difficult. 😀 Did you ever find work? - Lori (Team Member)
