Narcolepsy

Understanding Narcolepsy: Navigating Daytime Sleepiness

Narcolepsy is a sleep disorder that causes extreme daytime sleepiness and sudden sleep onset. Individuals with narcolepsy struggle to stay awake for extended periods, experiencing sudden episodes of sleep and, at times, loss of muscle tone, weakness, and even falls. These symptoms can disrupt daily activities and pose serious challenges to maintaining a regular routine.

Managing narcolepsy involves a combination of lifestyle adjustments and medical treatments. Establishing a consistent sleep schedule, taking short naps, and avoiding caffeine and alcohol can help manage symptoms. Medications prescribed by healthcare professionals can also improve alertness and reduce episodes of muscle weakness.
