I'd like to find a BBC documentary (90s-2000s) about people with narcolepsy. I particularly remember a dancer girl of about 15 with this problem. She tells how she sleeps during the day and how this problem disappears when she dances. Later they show her dancing in a sort of audition - she falls to sleep immediately after the dance is over and just plunges to the floor. There are also interviews with her mother and teacher.

Did a Google search and found "Nap Attack". Hard to find a full write-up of the program, though. Only a few Youtube clips and, if you want to watch the entire program, you'll have to subscribe to an academic site and perhaps pay a hefty sum to watch it.
There's a girl named Jacqueline who is mentioned as being the dancer you referred to. -

You're welcome.
No, I couldn't find anything other than a 30 second clip from the beginning of the program, showing the other two people involved.
There's no site that allows free or even a one time fee to watch it, that I could find. Unless there's a university library that may have the rights to view the program, it'll cost $149 to get a one year's rights to watch it as many times as you want.

is one of the sites to buy the rights.
