5. Narcolepsy
While many people will have a great deal of trouble getting to sleep, the exact opposite is true for some. Narcolepsy is a condition where the patient will suddenly fall asleep no matter where they are or what they are doing. It might be when they are at work, riding public transport, or even when driving a car.
For obvious reasons, people with the condition will not be able to drive or operate other heavy machinery. It cannot be cured, but treatment is available than can at least help to limit the severity of the symptoms. The condition is often linked with cases of sleep paralyses.
