Question
my mom is currently experiencing the same problem.. she can just sleep all day and we can even hear her talk in her sleep she said she is having a dream. i am kinda afraid on her behaviour.. any advise? thanks

Answer
Your mom may be suffering from narcolepsy the uncontrollable urge to sleep at inappropriate times.  First thing is se should go to her md and have a blood tests to rule out any anemia or thyroid trouble ,if it checks out,go to sleepnet.com click on disorders narcolepsy, and read abouts its symptoms.  If it sounds like her she should get a sleep study at a sleep center.your local hospital can refer you.  Let her read about narcolepsy.  feel free to email again karel
