Experiencing Sleep Attacks: Anyone Else?

Have you ever been awake and asleep? It’s hard to explain but often when I have a sleep attack I still somewhat know what’s going on around me. For example, I had to analyze a candidate in a political debate in class. When the other candidate was talking, I was asleep and dreaming about my friend doing laundry, but I somehow knew to pick my head up when my candidate starting talking. Can anyone else relate?

Oh for sure!! I didn’t even realize it until my sleep study haha. They told me I was asleep for all of the naps, but I was fully aware during one of them.

100%, it’s one of the facets of my narcolepsy that’s hardest to explain to ppl but i’ve been experiencing it since i was a kid. it even happened to me during my college graduation lol. like i remember feeling aware of everything but later i looked back and i know i had to have been asleep.

Absolutely!! Have you ever been taking notes and you’re nodding but still writing down notes? I have and sometimes they are normal but sloppy and other times they are completely illegible but it’s kinda funny when it happens
