I doubt it!: I don't think you'd really enjoy falling asleep while driving, eating, talking or being injured falling down when sleep hits you. People with narcolepsy can have night time insomnia, sleep walk, sleep eat, sleep smoke. The stress on the body causes obesity. You really think being a fat person who falls asleep in public is great?

Can have insomnia &: People with narcolepsy often have insomnia with trouble sleeping at nite while being excessively sleepy during the day with trouble focusing, poor memory and depression. They can suddenly uncontrollably fall asleep during the day, esp. when experiencing strong emotions.Trust me, you would not like having narcolepsy!
