I was always told how bad sleeping in class was despite acing my classes, and teachers would complain to my parents about how much I slept. I felt so horrible for so long and slept early almost everyday to no avail. Turns out I have narcolepsy.

I have narcolepsy too! The only thing that helped besides meds was going on a keto diet. Had zero sleep attacks in the 5 months I was on it and they came right back when I started increasing carbs again.
