    I have occasional narcoleptic spells. I’ll just nod off for a few seconds at a time.

    But I’m not running for president while pretending that I’m the healthiest person to ever have been healthy.

        I mean, if it’s a one-off thing, sure, but I’ll suddenly spent an hour of my afternoon fighting off mini-naps at work

          I don’t mean to nitpick, but you’re likely just sleep deprived. You probably don’t get enough sleep or the quality of your sleep just isn’t very good because of an issue like sleep apnea. When your sleep sucks, a simple bump in blood sugar from lunch is enough to throw you into a neck-breaking tailspin. The more you know… 🌠

            Huh

            Bloody hell, from making a joke to actual advice. Sleep quality might be the issue, because I’ve tried various sleep lengths, no caffeine, no hectic stimulation or all the other advice you’ll read online. I’ll have that checked out. Thanks for the tip!
