One Of The Many Uses Of Boobs
Narcolepsy: it's not all bad.
...or maybe...
Hey! I was using that!

I am a squirrel scientist - it's definitely narcolepsy.

Narcolepsy is probably the funniest disease ever
ST:VOY Endgame - Voyager makes it home
I didn't like Voyager at the time, but now I like it a lot. You have to get over the disturbingly self-righteous 90's PC aspect--I mean seriously, the only thing they didn't cover was a blind Eskimo with a limp and narcolepsy--and the really annoying "Chakotay" episodes, but then it winds up pretty good.
Fantastic last couple seasons.

That's good. I'm changing the title.

Living With Cataplexy and Narcolepsy (BBC Short)
I saw a videoclip of this lady who had a laughing-disorder.. She burst out in uncontrollable laughter, whenever wherever.. She had a big sign around her neck that she held up when she was laughing, explaining her disease.
I might have considered tattooing something like "Cataplexy and Narcolepsy Suck!" on my forehead if I was that guy..

Have a friend that was having a major manipulation done to her shoulder, sort of a pre-surgery relocation or something that entailed the doc putting his knee in her chest and tugging or whatnot. They gave her a drug, I think maybe orally administered that allowed her to be sentient and conversant and cooperative, but she didn't remember a thing. Struck me as something from a science fiction movie or spy thriller. I think it also dulled the pain, but I remember thinking "if you caused a lot of pain to the patient, but they don't remember it, were they ever in pain" I don't remember what it was called. Forgettitoltm? [edit:] It's called Versed.
In reply to this comment by snoozedoctor:
No, general anesthesia is not like physiologic sleep, the latter being a complex and active function of neurons located in the brain stem, in and around the thalamus. If you are unlucky enough, a small stroke in this area, while not damaging a significant portion of the brain, can result in permanent coma.
For an interesting sleep disorder, look up fatal familial insomnia. It's rare, and one you don't want to get.
The mechanisms of the some of the general anesthetics are still unknown. For instance, we don't know how the most widely used ones, the halogenated hydrocarbon gases, (halothane, isoflurane, sevoflurane, etc.) have their effect. Their potency is significantly related to their lipid solubility, which suggests they get in your neural cell lipid membranes, and alter them (temporarily) such that they can't carry on communication with other neurons. They've been used for 150 years now, and we still don't know exactly how they work!
Many of the IV anesthetics inhibit specific receptors and antagonize specific neurotransmitters, such that we do know how most of them work.
Cheers,

No, I don't have that kind of depth of knowledge. Sleep and dreams are so mysterious and fascinating, though. Is anesthesia anything like sleep, or nothing at all? Does a patient have REM under the gas?

Watched this last night and forgot to upvote. I was diverted by looking for video of the goats with the myotonia, undoubtedly a similar phenomena. Alas, there was already a similar sift, so I dropped it. You ARE going medical on us.
