Some of the articles that came out last week made it sound like with the new medication Sharpe is on his narcolepsy is under control. However, I've been doing some reading on it and it's clear that it's a chronic condition to be managed, rather than one that can be cured.

If Sharpe turns out to be Pistons material, the NBA lifestyle is going to be a tricky for him, and the team is going to have a different set of rules for him to keep him ready to play. At a minimum, they're going to have to find a way for him to take a series of naps throughout the day, and break up his work into small sessions. If he can't find some routine that will let him be at his most alert during games it's going to be real tough for him to have any kind of consistency as a pro. I assume Joe and the staff have some sleep experts working with the team.
