when falling asleep with narcolepsy and you start to wonder if shit might actually be haunted, or if someone has broken into your house (I& #39;m never gonna watch The Strangers at this point lmao), or if you& #39;re just hallucinating
alternatively, I recently realized how much more terrifying A Nightmare On Elm Street is for someone who has narcolepsy and can& #39;t resist falling asleep at random times and also hallucinates. you actually start to dread falling asleep.
sleep wrt narcolepsy actually becomes this terrifying ordeal sometimes, and you can& #39;t avoid it of course, but when you start actively falling asleep the hallucinations + feeling such a lack of control & anxiety can make you feel like you are genuinely losing your mind, imo
what really actually happens: "did I hear that just now or did I imagine it? did I see that just now or did I imagine it? am I in danger right now or am I just freaking out? am I asleep or just fucking losing my mind? what the fuck is happening"
