This crumbum on the r/narcolepsy board was like "what does a sleep attack feel like? I don't have them... All I have is this like sudden wave of tiredness that I can't fight off where it hurts to stay awake"
Question about Narcolepsy from someone who has been trying to get a sleep study for well over a year (unsuccessfully, obviously):
After a sleep attack is it normal to feel back to normal or still tired? Or say after a round of sleep attacks? How long do they last, and do you dream/hallucinate during them? Or really what's your experience with sleep attacks + with energy levels post sleep attack.
Btw if you prefer to submit anons about it, those will be on. Any help, well, helps.
Fighting off a sleep attack while working solo at my job is actual hell. Hypnic jerks and starting to feel trapped in my body are the first signs. Then I start dreaming while still partially awake.
Managed to stay awake, barely. Two cans of Redbull did NOTHING.
As soon as a coworker came in, I excused myself to the office to lie down for a bit. Thank goodness.
My new gig is at a virtual reality arcade, & so I have to monitor like 5 screens at once of people having different VR experiences, so I know when to take their headsets off.
I had my first sleep attack on the job this week & WOW did that hit different

Bagi: [Laughs]
Pac: I'll pay you– I'm going to pay you!
I want to give a MASSIVE thank you to @wasabi-ribs, who was kind enough to check my translations and help me with the parts I missed (and also reviewed the final subtitled video)!

Bagi: Pac, pay the rent!
Pac: I'm going to pay! Hey- I'm going to pay right this second, the money that I owe you, and... and I'm- I'm serious! And look, if you want- if you have more money... If I pay your 4,500, will you lend me 4,500? No, then I'll actually drown in fees. [Laughs]
Bagi: [Laughs] I'll lend you, I'll lend you
Pac: No, not really Bagi. You've got those red eyes– I'm scared, Bagi. I don't know– I don't know what happened, actually it's an eye infection, I know– But something tells me it's not just an eye infection, that it's also some other things, you know? Like, um... y'know, right? [He fumbles again] Oh God wait, your brother– when he had those red eyes he would also turn evil. Nonononono– I'll pay you, ok? Where's the waystone? It's here, it's here, it's here– I'll pay you, ok? I'll pay the 4,500- we're gonna–
