Napping and Time

What is really strange about our condition is the fact that we can take a short nap and it feels like a long one. It just happened to me today. I put myself down for a nap and quickly fell asleep. After only 7 minutes, I was awakened for some reason. When I realized it was only 7 minutes, I went back to sleep and woke again 9 minutes later. I became frustrated and got up out of bed. Time can be our friend, while other times, our enemy. Physically, it seemed to like I slept a long time because of that groggy feeling we get when we over sleep. Let's just hope that narcolepsy will soon be better understood in the near future so it can be cured.

More importantly, with the recent findings that shows narcolepsy is an autoimmune condition, I hope this will first lead to a cure for other more serious conditions. Multiple Sclerosis, Diabetes, and Lupus are those diseases that can be more serious and fatal if not treated properly. I would love to be cured as soon as possible, but my selflessness would rather see others with more serious conditions healed first. Narcolepsy is a dreadful condition but I can live with patience and hope that it will one day be cured, so I can live a richer life with my family.
