Narcolepsy is a medical problem. A person with it can fall asleep all of a sudden in the day, even if they do not want to and even if they slept at night. It is not the same as being lazy, bored, or a bit tired after lunch. The sleep can arrive like a wave they cannot push back — in class, on a bus, in the middle of a sentence.

Some people with it also find that a laugh or a shock makes their muscles go soft for a moment, so they sag or fall; that belongs to the same illness for many, not a separate joke about being weak.

Doctors treat it; you cannot scold it away. The name was built to mean a "sleep-seizure" — sleep taking hold of you in a sudden rush.
