Give your answer to this question below!
It's called narcolepsy
ReplyDeleteIt's called Narcolepsy and you can treat it with medication such as Ritalin that stimulate the central nervous system.
ReplyDeleteIt could possibly be mononucleosis. Consult your doctor... Or it could possibly be just from stress. Don't worry too much.
ReplyDeleteMy uncle has narcolepsy, which is a pretty scary condition. He falls asleep instantly; during family meals, while walking downstairs, and a couple of times while in the car. It can be pretty serious, maybe you should tell him to get checked out.
ReplyDeleteJust smack'm in the Head with a Brick or other heavy Object!
ReplyDeleteWakes him up really quick!
Tell your dad that he should go and see a doctor about this problem. There is a sleep disorder called Narcolepsy that can make you fall asleep anywhere at any time for no reason.
ReplyDeleteI think it's Called Dropsy or NARCOLEPSY. Pretty Serious......Have a Friend with it, Can't get a driving license.lots of problems, He can fall asleep mid sentence in the middle of a converstaion, sleeps for about 5 mins and wakes up,same as you do in the morning, dosen't know where he is. Pretty confusing.
ReplyDeleteIt could also be congestive heart. My grandmother had that and she kept falling asleep. There were no signs she had heart trouble before hand. It could be several different things. Your dad needs to get help as soon as possible.
ReplyDeleteIt could be narcolepsy, but it could be a symptom of other illness: diabetes, or common depression, for instance.
ReplyDeleteHe just may not be getting a quality sleep/ Does he snore or drink before bed?
This could be seriouse. My uncle had this type of condition!! What was happening is he thought as though he was sleeping good but it turned out one day while driving to work and just for second falling asleep without even realizing it.. He had this condition where he had to wear this mask to sleep to make sure he was sleeping properly. It made a diff... You need to try and talk to your dad not like your the parent but in a sweet concerned way and suggest he see a doc.. If that dosent work talk to someone and adult u trust in your family or family friends who u know your father respects to talk to him.. Dont let it go.. Be respectfull but do what you can and make sure whoever you inform that you explain in detail everything! That way they can see it for how seriouse and important it is.. There is nothing wrong with you trying to get him help.. Don't be afraid and don't just let it go!~good luck!!
ReplyDeleteThe only thing that I think of is The Sleeping Disease which is caused by parasites. Get your Dad to go to the doctor.
ReplyDeleteI found a lot of sites on the Internet.
