narcolympsy 

Excessive daytime somnolence due to late-night Olympics-watching.

"Two cups of coffee this morning, Ted?"
"Yup. The Olympics has been killing me. Up 'til 11:30 every night, wondering who's going to win, who's going to crash. It's terrible, but I just can't stop watching. And now I've got this foggy, empty-brain feeling all day long. Coffee's got to help!"
"Ted, you'd better go see your doctor. I think you may have narcolympsy."

Bar Narcolepsy 

Bar Narcolepsy, often shortened to Barcolepsy, is a disorder characterized by a sudden and uncontrollable urge to fall asleep while out drinking with friends. Bar narcolepsy is often triggered by excessive amounts of alcohol.
Bar narcoleptics can often be seen sleeping on couches, stairwells and in extreme cases the floor.

Bar narcoleptics are usually accompanied by friends who try and escape the attention of the bounces by holding them in and upright position and pretending to engage them in conversation.

Friend 1: It's your turn to watch Emily, she has fallen asleep on the couch again.

Friend 2: I think she might have Bar Narcolepsy.

narcolepsy 

(n) a chronic and usually hereditary sleep disorder in which the person affected will suffer spontaneous bouts of sleep (or "sleep attacks") during the day. Symptoms include: extreme sleepiness, typically followed by sleep attacks and last for fifteen minutes; dream-like hallucinations; sleep paralysis, where you cannot move when you start to fall asleep or just after you wake up; and cataplexy, which is an abrupt loss of muscle tone (basically, your muscles "fail you").

The disorder is not fatal, but can be depending on the situation you find yourself having a sleep episode. There is no cure for narcolepsy at the moment.
