Is Luffy a Narcoleptic?
Narcolepsy disorder is a neurological condition most characterized by Excessive Daytime Sleepiness (EDS). A narcoleptic will most likely experience disturbed nocturnal sleep, which is often confused with insomnia and disorder of REM or rapid eye movement sleep. A narcoleptic may also sleep at any random time. For example, the narcoleptic could sleep while he was snorkling or the other unpredictable moments. The person who has this kind of disorder is called Narcoleptic, and I think Monkey D. Luffy, main character of One Piece Manga, is one of them. Here’s some evidence:
First, when he fell asleep while he was eating. (It’s so funny though)
Second, when he was about to be hit by his grandfather, he fell asleep. (Actually they both fell asleep, and it’s really funny)
And the additional evidence that the Narcolepsy disorder runs in the family: Ace, Luffy’s brother, fell asleep while he was eating.
I bet there’ll be a scene when Dragon (Luffy’s father) fell asleep while eating or doing something else.
My friends call me a narcoleptic too.. I’m almost always sleeping in class. I even had an accident because I fell asleep while driving.
Btw, I saw at your facebook you wanted to read The Kite Runner. C’mon ne, read it and we’ll discuss it after. That’s one of my favorite book.
PS: thanks for putting a link to my blog. I wanted to put yours in my blog but I don’t know how. hehe.. gaptek.

It’s not stupid but Luffy do this just after Enies Lobby, not before!
Maybe is an other effect after the gear second ???

@crimson.
hahaha.. perhaps he suffers narcoleptic because of using gear second & third? I just want to make sure if Dragon (Luffy’s father) also has narcoleptic, then we all can be sure that the disorder runs in the family!
ps:not to worry, I’m sorry for my english too.

Luffy can’t be narcoleptic – it’s a dreaming disorder! You enter REM sleep and your body becomes paralysed, making it look like you’re sleeping, when it’s more like being forced into dreaming while awake, so it can’t be a disorder he has!
