Narcolepsy

             By: Jean Luc M.

               "Narcolepsy is a sleep disorder that causes excessive sleepiness and frequent daytime sleep attacks." (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0001805/) When Narcolepsy attacks there is nothing that the person can do! They just fall to sleep anywhere, and there is nothing that they can do. I believe that suffering from this syndrome is something really bad, because you could randomly fall down and sleep; anywhere and at any time. They think that this could be either genetic or it could be a biological disorder. 
             They still don´t know and haven´t confirmed if it was either something that is carried in the family or if its something that could be cause upon any type of mutation in the genetically structure of the person. This week we have been watching a series of video´s that confirm many types of ideas over this mutation. In this videos we saw a man who could not maintain him self more than 10 mins with out suffering of a Narc. Attack. for this he had to use a helmet to where ever he should go in the house. 
             If he felt tired his brain would automatically shut down like a computer with a virus. He didn't have a life, because he couldn't even go out of his house.
