I'm seriously beginning to wonder if narcolepsy can be an acquired syndrome caused by one's own horrifically boring work environment, rather than just a genetic neurological condition. As of late, my intermittent workday dyssomnia has begun to concern me. I will be staring at my computer trying to piece together mundane items at work and the next thing I know, I face plant into my laptop keyboard with a complete feeling of bliss as though it were as soft and comforting as my pillow at home. I've recently learned to close my eyes and nap with my head still relatively balanced on my shoulders while sitting in a working position behind my desk, almost appearing to be adamantly reading some important document about whatever on my computer. This camouflaged napping style helps avoid those keyboard workplace injuries when the forehead slams and dislodges the "j" and "k" keys and lodges them into your eyeball.
Regardless of whether there is medically proven evidence to back my hypothesis that work causes narcolepsy, I still plan on using it as a valid excuse for that inevitable day I wake from my serene desk nap and find my boss leering at me with disdainful eyes.
