Answers: Narcolepsy is characterized by excessive daytime sleepiness, often with sudden loss of muscle tone (cataplexy), sleep paralysis, and hypnagogic phenomena. Diagnosis is by polysomnography and a multiple sleep latency test. Treatment is with modafinil or various stimulants.(Merck)
Narcolepsy is a neurological condition most characterized by Excessive Daytime Sleepiness (EDS). A narcoleptic will most likely experience disturbed nocturnal sleep, which is often confused with insomnia, and disorder of REM or rapid eye movement sleep. It is one of the dyssomnias. A narcoleptic may also sleep at any random time.(Wikipedia)
