NARCOLEPSY is an often misunderstood condition that I have seen joked about and very rarely taken seriously outside of those who suffer from it. People think someone is just being overly dramatic, complaining about being tired all the time - or that it is funny to have them fall asleep in public.
There are pranks and videos that circulate regularly at the expense of these people who want nothing more than to just live as normal a life as they can with a condition that effects every hour of their life - waking or asleep.
There is a well written, easy to understand article here as well:

I recently had this great little video come across my FaceBook feed that does a wonderful job of explaining part of what this little one is in training for. Plus the illustrations are AWESOME!
I hope this gives you a little insight into the work this little one will be doing.
