Driving and cooking! I don’t do both when my narcolepsy is acting up! I fell asleep lots of times when I am on the toilet! I would be there all night long! Now I have dogs to wake me up!
Hate to even admit this publicly, but even during enjoyable intimate encounters with someone I was in a relationship with, I have fallen asleep on 2 different occasions during intercourse. My body just goes on shut down. (That was before I was taking medication for it). Luckily I had an understanding partner and it was never thrown up in my face. He really cared about me
Anytime I am driving is a bad situation, waiting for a doctor's app via Zoom, on a test that was really important.
Driving and out eating. I was trying to stop and my feet would not move from the gas pedal, but my brain kept saying move your feet, and I was out eating with co-workers when I was working, and when i realize I awoke food was hanging out my mouth..lol (not funny then)
I'm not certain, but I suspect driving. When I was younger I'm pretty sure I had narcolepsy, just undiagnosed. I had several car accidents in my younger years and when asked what happened I was never really sure. I felt, confused and lost ... I specifically remember one though when I was a little older and just before I made the decision to stop driving where I pulled out in front of someone and I simply did not see them even though I know I looked both left and right and nothing was there when I looked, but the car was right on top of me and it was not there before so what happened ... did I fall asleep long enough for that car to show up and pull out when I woke up thinking I had just looked. (or) Did I have a blind spot/some kind of aura from a migraine attack that came on shortly thereafter? The migraine was my first thought because I had suffered from migraines longer or at least in mind I had because I had been diagnosed longer, but after some thought, the narcolepsy came to mind, and now I'm left to ponder. Perhaps, the migraine was triggered by the stress of nearly being hit and the narcolepsy nearly caused an accident.
Needless, to say ... I just don't drive anymore.
