Sleepswoon
Overall:

Sleepswoon is a sleep disorder that makes a cat very drowsy during the day. Cats with narcolepsy find it hard to stay awake for long periods of time. They fall asleep suddenly. This can cause serious problems in their daily routine.

Depending on factors like the weather and stress levels the severity of the condition may fluctuate. The warmer periods of summer greatly exaserbate the condition.
