NO TIME LIKE THE LAST MINUTE - FAMILY LIFE

by Mary Killen

As I boarded the train at Paddington Station one night, I was delighted by the unexpected sight of three friends alsoboarding ‘Hurray!’ we cried as we bagged a table for four in the dining car and settled down to the prospect of a deliciousmeal and stimulating conversation But with about three minutes to departure, I looked through the window to see one of ourparty wandering along the platform 'Where’s Rupert going?’ I asked his wife ‘Oh, probably going to get a newspaper orsomething,’ she shrugged ‘He likes to give himself these little thrills He never actually boards a train until the whistle hasactually blown.’ Three agonising minutes after the train had started rolling down the tracks, Rupert came gasping back to thetable, having just managed to get into the last carriage and walked all the way through the train

Our friend Lucy’s husband, John, derives a similar thrill from not arriving at airports at the stated latest check-in time

‘Even when we are there,’ says Lucy, he carries on shopping after the flight is called and says,’Don’t worry.’

Once you have checked in, it’s OK They always call out your actual name ’Rupert and John’s penchant for ‘competing’against time is unfortunately a vice I share The thrill of ‘just making' a train is addictive, and what is more depressing thanhanging around a railway station or sitting in a motionless train? With life racing by so quickly, one wants to maximise everymoment’s potential Yet this is not the whole story As a child 1 always walked through the school gate at the exact momentbefore I would be punished for being late, and experienced the thrill of triumph at having ‘made it’

Now, in adult life, I find that each day holds the potential for a whole galaxy of bogus achievements of this nature I neverstart packing for a holiday until an hour before we are due to set off I never get my clothes ready for a party until twentyminutes before I have to leave home I never send off my tax return until the last post on the day before it is due, even though

it requires a thirty-minute drive to the nearest 7 p.m collection box, when I could have posted it in my own village at 3.13p.m

Looking back, I realise the habit probably set in during adolescence, when I noted that my mother was always ready at leasthalf an hour before she went out On Tuesday nights when she set off to see friends, she used to be collected by car at 7.30p.m From 7 p.m., she would be pacing the garden If she was giving a dinner party, she would have the table laid with cutlersthe day before

Once she even said she could not see a long-lost cousin who wanted to drop in on December 9th because she would be toobusy in the run-up to Christmas’ We like to prove we can do things better than our parents, and therefore I stupidly window-shop in Oxford Street so that I have to take a taxi rather than a bus to Paddington Station, and arrive with my heart thumping

I cut it so fine when going to catch a train that, when I leave from home, I regularly have to finish getting dressed in the car

on the way to the station

Old habits die hard but I’m beginning to see the advantages that might accrue from being ready in time Think how much

money I could save on taxis if I took buses in plenty of time instead Think how much less panicky I would be at every party

if I weren't doing up my buttons as I walked through the door Think how much less anxious I would be if only I could beready on time One might even live longer without the stress of constantly competing against time

With any luck my two little daughters will want to prove that they can do things better than I can and will take precisely theopposite line, deriving a thrill from being well-prepared, like both their grandmothers

Question 34: The idiom “cut it fine” is closest in meaning to

Question 35: The writer considers that her mother

Question 36: The writer considers her ‘achievements’ to be

As a teenager, Dan Butler-Morgan used to nod off during lessons at school He thought it was just what every rebelliousschoolboy did But when Dan left school, got a job as a mechanic and continued to fall asleep during the day, he realized thiswasn't normal None of his colleagues dozed off while servicing a car or spent their lunch break snoozing in a corner

When his host threatened him with the sack, he knew he had to find out what made him so different from everybody else.Dan's GP [General Practitioner = family doctor] was equally baffled and immediately sent him to a sleep centre, where he

was diagnosed as suffering from narcolepsy, an incurable sleep disorder that is known to affect at least 2,500 people in the

UK

Narcoleptics fall asleep at irregular and unexpected times "Most people,' says Dan, 'however tired, can stay awake if need

be But with me, its like a blind is drawn I can be having a conversation with the most interesting person, but inside, I amfighting a constant battle to stay awake, it's like someone switches the lights off."

Dan once fell off his bike due to an attack, and has been thrown out of nightclubs by bouncers who thought he was drunk sufferers are often mistakenly considered to be inebriated or lazy.This, coupled with the factthat nobody is quite sure what causes narcotepsy, makes it hard to diagnose It is widely believed tobe the result of a genetic mutation, and research has shown that sufferers have at deficiency of hypocretin, a small hormone produced in the brain which regulates the body's state

-of arousal

Most narcoleptics also experience cataplexy, a sudden loss of muscular control that can cause them to fall to the door, their

heads to slump or their jaws to drop, usually after a sudden surge of emotion such as happiness, anger or fear During thenight, narcoleptics can also suffer from sleep paralysis - an inability to move just before falling asleep or just after waking up

The only person who can help Dan to snap out of the hallucinations is his 25-year-old wife, Claire, who is frequently tired

as she is woken by the attacks "I put a hand on his shoulder and he will come round,but it can happen again and again duringthe night," she says At their worse, she estimates, the attacks can occur around 50 times a night

Dan is remarkably fresh-faced for someone who is supposed to feel overwhelming fatigue He puts this down to the newtablets he takes to control his condition He used to take an amphetamine-based form of medication, but found that his moods

fluctuated too much But since he started taking amphetamine-free Modafinil, his moods have levelled out and his attacks

have decreased to just five or six times a night, three or four nights aweek

He thinks that keeping busy also helps his condition The couple have recently bought a house and Dan works on it everynight after work until midnight "It's when I’m sitting still for any period of time that 1 knew I’m going to go." The couplerecently went to see a horror movie, and Dan slept through most of it ‘Tiny little things that most people take for granted havebeen affected by my narcolepsy," he says "Socially, we can never really plan anything We go out to dinner and I can just fallasleep in my food."

He is amazed at people's lack of knowledge about the condition, and has often encountered prejudice He desperatelywanted to join the police force, but was sent a rejection letter, saying he would be a health-and-safety risk Another potentialemployer turned him down, telling him the sales assistant in his local chemist had told him Dan would probably turn up latefor work all the time

Trang 4

"It's not a disability," he says, forlornly "But people's perceptions of it as one have led me to be a bit scared of trying topursue any other career opportunities, in case I get turned down And I sometimes feel like I am bringing other people downwith it It can make you feel like a nothing, a nobody."

His attempts to control the cataplexy have changed his personality "I used to be this happy-go-lucky person, who wasalways cracking jokes, but now I can't really laugh because it sets off the cataplexy." Despite all the obstacles that he hasfaced, though, Dan still manages to look on the bright side "Fortunately, I don't think I'll ever go back to being the teenagerwho slept whole weekends without ever waking up This morning, I got up at 5 am and I'll go to the house this evening andwork on it until late In fact,’ he says, grinning at his wife,‘I think Claire's more tired nowadays than I am."
