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.

            Why is it that we always have to sleep? Can there be some way in which we can continually live our life always awake, and never sleep? Well, there are many theories in which they talk about why we sleep, and it tells you that you should sleep certain hours etc. But I believe that sleeping is just an action by the body to tell you that you’re tired, and that they need to rest. I believe it is really good to sleep even though, for m y sport experience I have learned that sleeping, give you like this little bust of energy which makes you do thing better; helps you focus; helps  you understand and learn better. I personally believe that If I don’t sleep well I can’t focus in class, or watch different video and stuff. But as a form of common belief a person can’t live without sleeping! Is this true? What happens to your brain then if you don’t sleep..? And well many things could change if you don’t sleep...You day dream, or start to see things that are not really there or present.  So my recommendation is that you sleep all you want and party all night!
