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 2: I think she might have Bar Narcolepsy.

Narcoliteracy

A cognitive impairment in which you randomly fall asleep while reading any type of literature. The period in which the subject sleeps is roughly around 15 to 30 minuets. It will kick in while reading any type of novel, newspaper, or short story. It will also occur during tests/reading exams. Less than 1%of all humans have been diagnosed with this impairment and there are no known cures. It is highly suggested that people with narcolituracy should only read in uncomfortable positions or stick with books with more pictures than words for this raises chances of staying awake.

Jimmy flunked his final reading exam because his damn narcoliteracy kept acting up.

drinking narcolepsy

Drinking Narcolepsy is a chronic neurological disorder induced by alcohol consumption and characterized by overwhelming daytime drowsiness and sudden attacks of sleep. If the urge becomes overwhelming, patients fall asleep for periods lasting from a few minutes to several hours and fall asleep at inappropriate times and places such as bars and restaurants. Drinking Narcolepsy should not be confused with passing out as a Drinking Narcolep will fall asleep, rally, drink some more, only to fall asleep again. This cycle is repeated throughout the day and into the evening.

Tara's drinking narcolepsy was out of control up at Lutsen. She drank and snowboarded all day, fell asleep on the chairlift, fell asleep after snowboarding, fell asleep after hottubbing, and fell asleep in the restaurant.
