Myths:
1 - Naps help restore alertness
2 - Memory (already lost my ideas...)
3 - Sleep attacks are obvious and easy to detect
4 - Narcoleptics are alert when they are not having a sleep attack
5 - Medications cure the problems
6 - Narcoleptics are just lazy
7 - Narcoleptics fall into complete sleep
8 - Narcolepsy does not progress
9 - Memory
Corrections:
1 - No amount of brief sleep helps, narcoleptics really need about 10 hours
2 - Narcoleptics miss most of what they hear, think, say, and do
3 - Automatic actions can be done while asleep, even talking, reading, and walking.
4 - Narcoleptics do not know what alertness is without some strong drugs
5 - No medication is made to "cure" or even 100% treat it
6 - Narcoleptics are not generally lazy, you try functioning without energy!
7 - Narcoleptics have a horrendous sleep cycle that permits limited restful sleep
8 - Actually there is a 15 year average
9 - Narcoleptics miss most of what they hear, think, say, and do
