When I opened my eyes I knew it had happened again.
I knew I'd fallen asleep. This time, judging by the fine layer of dust about my bedroom, it had been a good while.
And they'd just left me.
Sometimes it happened when I was doing something - jogging or reading perhaps. Sometimes it happened when I was sleeping: I just would wake up.
Narcolepsy: "a rare condition characterised by sudden and uncontrollable episodes of deep sleep."
I was a modern day Sleeping Beauty, but there wasn't a fairytale ending to my story.
I would always sleep.
