Turquoise (Narcolepsy)

A lot,

Of people,

Would argue,

That,

I’m lucky,

I’m able,

To fall asleep,

When I want,

But it’s not,

That simple,

My condition,

Means,

That I can,

Fall asleep,

During the day,

And it makes,

It difficult,

To work,

Or even,

Watch a film,

At home,

I’m,

Often,

Misjudged as lazy,

The worst part,

Is when,

The turquoise,

Smog,

Descends,

Without warning,

I can sometimes,

Sleep for a few,

Seconds,

But for others,

It can last,

Several minutes,

When,

It’s not under,

Control,

I can many,

Sleep attacks,

During the day,

I’ve had,

Cataplexy attacks,

Which means,

I lose control,

Of my muscles,

Such as my legs,

Collapsing,

These only,

Happen,

Once,

Or twice,

A year,

Others may experience,

Them much more,

Often,

Sometimes,

I’ve experienced,

The inability,

To move or speak,

Which,

Is terrifying,

My condition,

Causes,

Some other,

Symptoms,

To,

Such as,

Memory problems,

Hallucinations,

Restless sleep,

Hallucinations,

Depression,

Though,

There is no,

Cure for this,

Turquoise,

Smog,

The GP,

Recommended,

Having good,

Sleeping habits,

Such as,

Having,

The same,

Bedtime,

Routine,

There is,

Medication,

That I’m,

Now on,

To help control it,

But,

They warned,

Me,

The smog,

May still last,

Long term,

But at least,

Now,

Bit by bit,

I can,

Clear,

The smog away
