> Mitch, just a small note about laughter & how it affects you. Check over http://www.sleepdisorderchannel.net/narcolepsy/symptom.shtml especially the cataplexy part. Note that it may not be obvious to others & the fact it happens during intense emotional states. Mine occured with laughter coupled with previous stress or exhaustion.

> You may have mild narcolepsy & not be aware of it. It's not nearly as uncommon as many think.That's an interesting link. It mentions sleep paralysis and hypnopompic hallucinations, both of which I get on occasion (as well as excessive daytime sleepiness). Sleep paralysis (and the accompanying hallucinations) are easily the creepiest and most disturbing things that ever happen to me.
