More than 500,000 Americans suffer from narcolepsy, a
neurological disorder which is a life-long illness with
symptoms developing as early as puberty. Narcolepsy is
generally characterized by sudden and uncontrollable sleep
attacks and persistent daytime sleepiness. Because the
attacks can occur anywhere anytime, they can be very
dangerous, even life-threatening. Some symptoms include:
- Excessive daytime sleepiness.
- Uncontrollable sleep attacks.
- Cataplexy - a sudden loss of muscle tone or muscle
weakness usually triggered by extreme emotions, such
as fear, anger, elation, surprise, even laughter.
- Automatic behavior - performing tasks without
consciously thinking. The person then is unable to recall
details of having done the task.
- Sleep paralysis - inability to move upon falling asleep
or waking up.
- Hypnagogic hallucinations - intense, vivid, dream-like
experiences which occur between wakefulness and sleep.
