This condition of central nervous system causes uncontrollable sleep bouts, cataplexy (sudden muscles relaxation), general sleepiness and feeling of weakness. Besides that among alertness destructors one can find obtrusive sleep apnea, work-shift sleep disruptions as well as preparations to college final exams.
