Narcolepsy is a set of symptoms among which are excessive daytime sleepiness, cataplexy, sleep paralysis, hypnagogic hallucinations and hypnopompic. This is called Gelineau syndrome.
I want to draw attention in particular on Sleep Paralysis. I struggled to find literature, many in English but, the story of a patient either checked by the doctor is enough to start.
The disorder occurs between wakefulness and sleep or, conversely, from sleep to wakefulness. In this "stretch", which can range from 1 to 30 minutes, the body remains paralyzed but have notion of the environment and the inability to raise uncomfortable. That is, it remains trapped between these two states, making an effort to escape imaginary. We think we can move, breathe very hard, trying to talk and just get to move the eyes, enhance our breath and make a sound, and if we are lucky to be accompanied by anyone who can touch us or say we will have our name out of the trance.
If we put a touch of humor should remember those movies of the '60s when, who feared being buried alive, buried became a device that included a bell to call from the grave. That is the catalepsy and Edgar Allan Poe in his story "The Premature Burial" is described. In something resembling felt, which terrified me in childhood ... but sometimes we use the description provided for those who have no idea what we are talking
The scientific explanations that are posted and not be removed for clarity.
Now it comes to sharing these symptoms and understand how to live better and treatment is right ...

Interestingly, I think of all the symptoms that I have is that of sleep paralysis, I can perfectly awake as anyone and more, sometimes out of bed like a fresh lettuce, so if I find most disturbing is the cataplexy, that if we have a very delicate risk, eh fortunately able to control TV Episodes of cataplexy total from the first time a little over 4 years, only 12 total lying like eh ... The most annoying of cataplejias are "momentary "bone which occur when laughing, or spend a short corajillo or even to tell a joke! sometimes if something makes me laugh and hold in my hand something, I drop! oops! that and to laugh as the eyes move when you're very sleepy ... a case ... well, I loaded a little on the subject .. and deepen it? I hope to upload soon and more information about a medical information, we can share our experiences. Greetings to Argentina Bella! and .... Sweet dreams!
