Apparently I had sleep apnea when I was about 5 and as a result had my tonsils removed. Or at least that's what my mom said. The only thing I can remember from then was not being able to speak at all for like a week after the surgery.
if i ever move to a new school i am going to convince everyone that i have narcolepsy! then i could fall asleep in class whenever i want. That was awesome when he fell off the bench! hehe
Night Terrors seem so scary! I would be freaked out if I lived with someone who had them. And the narcolepsy/cataplexy seems so interesting to me. I think that would be terrible to live with though. Thanks for putting up these videos!
I thought it was a really funny and rather interesting when the guy in the first video was sitting on the bench in the park and just falls off backwards when he goes to sleep. It was really interesting to learn that that woman's enlarged heart decreased to normal size just by using the breathing machine regularly. I really thought it was cool to see the woman working in her kitchen while asleep.
narcolepsy would be a difficult problem to deal with. it seems it would affect all aspects of your life.
my dad tells stories from college when he lived in a house with other guys, and one had night terrors..he would go stand over someones bed and scream, hence their nickname for him: screamer. haha

The night terrors and the sleepwalking freak me out. I still can't believe that someone can go eat or make food while they are sleepwalking.
