"Narcotics" Natural Recordings by Native Speakers
Narcotics: substances, such as drugs or medications, that are used to relieve pain, induce sleep or anesthesia, or to induce a sense of euphoria or relaxation, often by affecting the central nervous system; illegal drugs, especially those considered to be addictive or illicit.
Narcoleptics refer to people who suffer from narcolepsy, a chronic neurological disorder that affects the brain's ability to regulate sleep-wake cycles. Narcoleptics often experience excessive daytime sleepiness, sudden attacks of sleep, and cataplexy, which is a loss of muscle tone caused by strong emotions, such as laughter or excitement. They may also experience fragmented sleep, insomnia, and vivid dreams.
