Abstract
Narcolepsy is a clinical syndrome of daytime sleepiness with cataplexy, hypnagogic hallucinations, and sleep paralysis. It is one of the most common causes of disabling daytime sleepiness. There are two types, type 1 narcolepsy and type 2 narcolepsy. Its prevalence is the same for women as it is for men, and symptoms usually begins between 7 and 25 years; however, the diagnosis is often made years after the onset of symptoms. The treatment consists of behavioral therapy, as well as pharmacological treatment for both daytime sleepiness and cataplexy, in addition to implementing periodic and regular sleep times, establishing hours to sleep and taking scheduled daytime nap are essential measures in patients with this disorder.
