A member asked:
How many hours does someone with narcolepsy need to sleep?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not specific: Narcolepsy is a sleep disorder causing daytime hyper somnolence. Even if you were successful in getting stable uninterrupted 8 hrs of sleep, you would likely still have daytime sleep attacks if not treated.

I get occasional, sudden sleep attacks when doing normal day-2-day activities. I don't seem to have symptoms that resemble narcolepsy, could this be a disorder or an overall health related issue?
