I too get a weird sleepiness that feels like I'm going in a coma and no matter what I do I will fall asleep. It only seems to happens as seasons change. During season no hint of it. Seems similar to narcolepsy but only happens couple weeks a year. I am interested in getting feedback on new narcoleptic drug called modafinil that affects SCN so I see a connection to it possibly helping clusterers. heard it has minimal side effects. It works like an amphetamine but is extremly specific to SCN and doesn't affect rest of brain/body much.
