Narcolepsy
Narcolepsy is a chronic neurological sleep disorder characterized by overwhelming daytime drowsiness, sudden sleep attacks, and impaired regulation of sleep–wake cycles, often associated with symptoms such as cataplexy, sleep paralysis, hallucinations, and disturbed nocturnal sleep. It exists in two recognized forms, type 1 (with cataplexy) and type 2 (without cataplexy), and is believed to involve autoimmune mechanisms affecting orexin-producing neurons, although the exact cause remains unknown.
