@_txsh_: For those who dont know, narcolepsy is a chronic neurological condition where the brain does not produce enough hypocretin. Hypocretin is the chemical your brain produces that helps keep you awake. So people with narcolepsy experience extreme day time sleepiness, causing them to fall asleep during random activities, like texting, driving, working, and my specific case in this video, WALKING. I've fallen asleep walking a few times before, but this was the most severe case I've ever had. started off the hike perfectly fine, and in about 15 minutes started nodding off while walking. the way I edited the video is actually a really accurate representation of what it felt like during that episode. even splashing my face with water couldn't help. thankfully I never faint or anything. But yeah, narcolepsy is a crazy and weird condition. Can be very dangerous at times as well. #hiker #southafricatiktok🇿🇦 #Hiking #narcolepsy #sleepcondition
