What Is Narcolepsy?
Narcolepsy affects the nervous system. It causes sleeping patterns and disruptions. People with this condition experience uncontrollable sleepiness during the day. Narcolepsy can start at any age and persist throughout life, but the first symptoms appear in adolescence. The condition may be hereditary. Living with narcolepsy is very burdensome because patients fall asleep even during the day while performing everyday activities.
