What To Say To A Co Worker Who Might Have Narcolepsy And Always Falls Asleep During Work?

I work with a woman who constantly falls asleep while working. She even falls asleep at the fax or copy machine. She snores and her head almost hits her desk and even falls asleep while people are talking to her. I think theres something really wrong and she won't mention it to her doctor and even canceled the sleep study. What can be done or said to help her realize she has a problem without her getting offended or mad? She has an awful temper and because she sleeps half the day, I end up doing all her work.

    I don't understand why she would cancel her sleep study. I take medicine for this and who wants to sleep there life away. She will be driving and have a accident if she has Narcolepsy, I no  this for a fact just explain your concern to her tell her you talked to someone who has Narcolepsy and fell asleep driving a couple of times I actually was still sleep did  not know I had an accident I had to be woken up this is a serious problem!! Besides If I did not have my medicine I would not be able to be her talking to you. Tell her she needs HELP!!!!

      I would be talking to my boss.  If I had to work with someone that was ill-tempered and slept most of the day, I would be expecting someone other than myself to deal with the issue.

        Narcolepsy is a chronic neurological disorder and known to be a genetic disorder. A combination of treatments can work but there is no cure yet exists.

        First treatment is counseling and support groups and then there are certain medications. I want you to visit this website to get complete details.
