My mom is 53 years old and she falls asleep while talking, she would be talking one minute and then she falls asleep for a few seconds. She can never stay awake as a passenger in the car. Sometimes when I am talking to her on the phone I will ask her something and not hear anything, the next second she will be like 'Oh, I just sat down and fell asleep for a second, what were you saying?' her speech gets extremely slurred as though she is drunk but it's just sleep! I know she gets enough sleep, she is a stay at home wife and doesn't work, she has never had a job. My dad is businessman and so they don't need extra money so it's not like she is tired or anything.
Last year my husband and i took our daughter for trick or treating at the mall, my mom went with us and the whole time she would talk and fall asleep for a minute and then start the conversation where she had stopped. My husband thought it was really weird. Can someone please tell me what this is? I just see how a normal person just falls asleep. It's like the second she doesn't have anything to do she gets very sleepy.
