The Unauthorized Biography of Reinhold Messner (1999)
Wikipedia describes the symptoms of narcolepsy thusly: The main characteristic of narcolepsy is excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS), even after adequate night time sleep. A person with narcolepsy is likely to become drowsy or to fall asleep, often at inappropriate times and places. Daytime naps may occur without warning and may be physically irresistible. These naps can occur several times a day. They are typically refreshing, but only for a few hours. Drowsiness may persist for prolonged periods of time. In addition, night time sleep may be fragmented with frequent awakenings.
This song is about a person with narcolepsy. And, yes, it’s awesome.
I think I have narcolepsy. Minus the falling asleep at inappropriate times.
This is actually one of the few Ben Folds songs I dislike.
