SIPR Narcolepsy

The SIPRNet (Secret Internet Protocol Router Network) is a system of interconnected computer networks used by the U.S. Department of Defense and the U.S. Department of State to transmit classified information (up to and including information classified SECRET) by packet switching over the TCP/IP protocols in a "completely secure" environment.

Narcolepsy is a neurological condition most characterized by Excessive Daytime Sleepiness (EDS). A narcoleptic will most probably experience disturbed nocturnal sleep, which is often confused with insomnia, and disorder of REM or rapid eye movement sleep. It is one of the dyssomnias. A narcoleptic may also fall asleep at any random time.

SIPR Narcolepsy is the combination of the SIPRNet and Narcolepsy in which during random periods of time the SIPRNet is "asleep" and not operational. These occurrences are completely random, sometimes caused by solar conjunctions. The solution to these occurrences is just to ride it out and hope for the best. The same holds true to the NIPRNet (see NIPR Narcolepsy).
