Summary
Some of us release the stress of the day by working out, venting to friends/family, shopping (like in the movies) and/or taking a nap. Lots of naps. Some could be uncontrollable sleepiness which might be classified as narcolepsy.
In this episode, we will talk about the different types of narcolepsy, the signs and symptoms, the tests you might run and some therapies you might offer.
Join Dr. Niket Sonpal where he keeps us all awake.

| 0:00.0 | Everyone has a different way they relieve stress. |
| 0:04.0 | For some of us, it's coming home and working out, going to the gym, going for a long run. |
| 0:09.0 | For others, it's talking to friends and sort of unbearing our soul with the difficulties of the day or the |
| 0:15.6 | problem that we may be having. |
| 0:17.6 | Other people shop and yes that is a financially difficult way to break up your stress but sometimes as you've seen in many movies and |
| 0:25.1 | TV shows a new jacket or a pair of boots can totally make your day and give you that |
| 0:30.9 | dopamine boost that you really need. |
| 0:32.8 | Some people make lists and then they organize their lists based on the importance of the items on those lists. |

| 1:19.1 | But what if you couldn't fall asleep when you wanted to, or more importantly, you fell asleep when you didn't fall asleep when you wanted to or more importantly you fell asleep |
| 1:24.3 | when you didn't want to. That's right ladies and gentlemen. Sleeping is a |
| 1:28.4 | wonderful way to relieve stress. It's actually one of the joys in life but what if you slept too much? What if you couldn't control when you fell asleep? |
| 1:36.1 | What if you fell asleep at the most inopportune times? Emotional moments, frightening, isn't it? |
