Cataplexy is a symptom of narcolepsy. When there are triggers like stress, fear and even joy many collapse in seeming unconsciousness. Really they can hear and do know what's going on. And when you have narcolepsy you generally walk around in a daze. Or worse seem perfectly fine until all of a sudden you're so tired you MUST fall asleep right then. Many people with narcolepsy have problems with friends and family members thinking that they're not interested when they doze off. Not to mention the memory problems related.
