What is Narcolepsy?
Narcolepsy is a chronic neurological disorder caused by the brain's
inability to regulate sleep-wake cycles normally. At various times
throughout the day, people with narcolepsy experience fleeting urges to
sleep. If the urge becomes overwhelming, individuals will fall asleep
for periods lasting from a few seconds to several minutes. In rare
cases, some people may remain asleep for an hour or longer. In
addition to excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS), three other major
symptoms frequently characterize narcolepsy: cataplexy, or the sudden
loss of voluntary muscle tone; vivid hallucinations during sleep onset
or upon awakening; and brief episodes of total paralysis at the
beginning or end of sleep. Narcolepsy is not definitively diagnosed in
most patients until 10 to 15 years after the first symptoms appear. The
cause of narcolepsy remains unknown. It is likely that narcolepsy
involves multiple factors interacting to cause neurological dysfunction
and sleep disturbances.
