Narcolepsy is a condition in were an individual has sudden sleep attacks without being able to control it, this occurs whether or not the individual has previously slept. The cause of this happening has been proven to be a malfunctioning of the brain in where the brain seems to paralyze the body unconsciously making the individual unable to control their own bodies. The video we watched in class narrated the story of a group of journalists who follow a man with narcolepsy during a whole day in were the audience learns different aspects of the disease. Narcolepsy is portrayed as a very life changing disease that seriously affects an individual’s daily life, in the video we could see how the victim randomly fell asleep in the middle of the road or at home in were serious injuries may happen very rapidly and unpredictably. I personally believe that this video was very interesting and made me realize about how dangerous and awful it must be to have something like narcolepsy. Finally I really appreciated the interesting points, ideas, and different things that the video had to offer to its audience including the ability to comprehend how this so made- fun- of disease shouldn’t be overlooked at all as it can actually be a horrible thing to live with.
