Noah B. Dillion said about Surviving Viet Nam Tales of a Narcoleptic Hangar Rat, “This is not purely a book of war stories, it is a testimonial about my life long struggle with severe Narcolepsy/Cataplexy. I call Narcolepsy the "sleeping monster" because it knows no master. It has dominated my life since early childhood. The impact on my social life is nothing compared to the many who have become victims without knowing what was causing their incredible feelings of fatigue and sleepiness. I hope that this book will help one person find their way out of the "fog of Narcolepsy and into the sunlight of a new life". This is possible through professional diagnosis and treatment.”
