hi Siryll,
I have long been intrigued by symptoms associated with the eyes, and wondered what they indicated. The first thing I notice at the onset of a sleep attack ( most often when driving, but I also remember it happening in my french class way back in high school, hmmm....) is a sensitivity to light that started subtly but got so intense and painful that my eyes would tear until I closed them. It gave me sufficient warning that I could pull over and take a power nap and then continue on my way. Hazy grey days were especiallly bad; and back in high school maybe it was the flourscent lights, or maybe the french:)
My wife watches me like a hawk when I am driving and it is interesting that she picks up on an impending attack even before the sensitivity to light to build. I would love to see what is gong on with my brain waves at that point.
By the way, do you know what is the favorite vegetable of french rabbits?
