If you calmly handle requests for a pillow readjustment that are made with the same urgency as a co-pilot telling the control tower that his/her 747 is in a fatal nosedive, you might be a caregiver for someone with ALS.
If you are expected to have 100% of your cognitive function and reasoning ability 1.7 seconds after being awoken from a dead sleep, you might be a caregiver for someone with ALS.
