Narcolepsy Type 1 is more than feeling tired during the day. It’s a chronic neurological sleep disorder that affects the brain’s ability to regulate sleep and wakefulness.
Common symptoms can include excessive daytime sleepiness, cataplexy, vivid dream-like experiences when falling asleep, and disrupted nighttime sleep. Because these symptoms can sometimes be mistaken for other conditions, evaluation by a sleep specialist can be an important step toward getting answers.
At Sleep Management Institute, we believe better understanding leads to better sleep care. Our affiliated research center also participates in clinical research involving Narcolepsy Type 1, contributing to continued research and understanding of the condition.
