Jordi Évole speaks high and of course about how he lives with an unknown neurological disorder

Jordi Évole He has always shown without problems what narcolepsia means, a sleep disorder that affects sleep regulation, so that people can suddenly experience, almost without prior notice and without a way of controlling it, an immediate need to sleep and “They disconnect” completely. The journalist has spoken with Sonsoles Onega How this conditions those who suffer from it, although he considers himself “privileged.” «I, for my work, here I have a special room to rest and in fact I take two naps in the morning and two in the afternoon. Just before speaking with you, I have thrown myself for a while, ”he explained to the presenter.

It has been in ‘And now Sonsoles‘(Antena 3), where those live and live moments have been shown in which Jordi Évole came to sleep: from’ El Hormiguero ‘to’ El Intermediate ‘, going through the recordings of his programs, like a sound moment who lived with the Stapa group, which did not give credit to what was happening. He has pointed out that it usually happens at very specific times, for example, “when something makes me very laugh.” Sonsoles Onega has praised the fact that he has never hidden it and wanted to normalize this diagnosis.

In the Onega program a young woman has been, Julia, who shares neurological disorder with Évole: narcolepsy and cataplexia. She has corroborated what the journalist pointed out and has narrated really difficult moments: «I fell asleep in the kitchen, while I had the pan on the fire to fry. Upon awakening, all the kitchen full of smoke was and that is a danger. It has caused work problems and is currently loss. “Working as a waitress one day, when the day was extended I ended up falling asleep and that was not understood, so I had to request the leave,” he said.

Probably the most incredible moment in which he made an appearance that narcolepsy was when he married his current partner, because he ended up sleeping after the ceremony. “I had already told the priest to do a short ceremony, about 20 minutes, but on the way to the photos I was fried in the car,” he recalled. The same saying the year, the grapes, complicated moments that could endanger it for the risk of choking.

Julia has shared that she needs sleep at least 15 hours a day«To sections, to Ratitos. But it is something that I cannot control, ”he said.
