The "possible huggers" are watching TV, something I stopped doing compleatly because it was impossible because of the sleep attacs. I can do it, now that I`m on meds, but I just don`t feel like it anymore.

Selling your house? That`s pretty scary... I`m so glad the guy stopped the process. Like I mentioned I have signed a lot of papers in the past my self, that it never went that far is probably just a mather of luck... I`m getting more and more confident it was a wise decission to quit my job - I can do a lot less damage studying and working as my own boss occatinally (I just hope I didn`t write anything to "creative" on my school exam. If so I suppose I have to "claim narcolepsy" and say it`s impossible for me to do school exams... Though I had one in May that went really well, so there is hope...)

About Barcelona, I don`t know. I`ve been there twice, both before I got meds and I had now episodes of sleep attacs, headaches or cataplexy. When it comes to automatic behavior, I of course don`t know, but I can remember no complains... One reason could be that I was there on vacation, and it hasn`t been that often that I have not been workning. Still I had a 3 months sick leave from work (which means I didn`t work much...) and went to bed early almost every night, to see if that helped (it didn`t). One other thing was the alcohol level wish was considerably high. Not like we were drunk, but it seem to be the custom in Spain to drink wine all day, and still my head was crystal clear like never before... So when I came home I had to test if it had the same effect if I drank as much at home (needlessly to say it didn`t...) An other thing could be the social situations that there were pretty many of, but I also sat reading on my own in a park for a whole day while the kids were playing (your hear: READING FOR A WHOLE DAY!) It`s not just getting away from home eighter, cause although I haven`t been traveling that much, I have been around enough to know that that normally don`t make any difference. For instance I had one of my really black periods (literally speaking!) in France (I take it that`s where you`re from?)

So I don`t know what it is. The climate? The Gaudi architecture? Whatever it was, I swear that I spent two weeks in Barcelona, and that`s my only narcolepsy-free periods for the last 3,5 years...
