Narcolepsy is a chronic neurological disorder that affects a person's sleep/wake cycle, causing sudden and uncontrollable episodes of daytime sleepiness, and sometimes muscle weakness or paralysis. It is characterized by recurrent attacks of sleep or drowsiness that can occur at any time of the day, even during activities such as driving or working. Concussion is a traumatic brain injury, encephalomalacia is the softening or atrophy of brain tissue, and palsy is a muscle weakness or paralysis caused by damage to the nerves that control those muscles. None of these conditions match the symptoms described in the question.
