Narcolepsy

By Geoffrey B.
     Narcolepsy is a brain disorder that causes poor control of sleep-wake cycles.  In other words, people who have this disorder, they can fall asleep at any moment.  The person with the disorder said he or she will fall asleep, but it didn't say for how long.  Also, if a person who has Narcolepsy, they are not be able to drive.  I want to continue to research this disorder, because I wonder if an individual living with Narcolepsy is able to live alone?    
     Now, I did some research on the internet and I found out that Harriet Tubman, The Underground Railroad Pioneer, suffered from Narcolepsy and Epilepsy because of a head injury.  It also said that Harriet Tubman could of been caught because of that disorder.  So, if you want the full story about this disorder, click on Narcolepsy.  Thank you!
