Narcolepsy Information
Narcolepsy is a chronic neurological disorder that impacts one in approximately 2,000 people in the United States. Many people are unaware of the condition and go undiagnosed. Narcolepsy is a sleep disorder, involving irregular patterns in Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep and significant disruptions of the normal sleep/wake cycle. While the cause of narcolepsy is not completely understood, current research points to a combination of genetic and environmental factors that influence the immune system.
