About Narcolepsy Neurological Sleep Disorder: Narcolepsy is a rare, life-long, neurological sleep disorder characterized by the brain's inability to regulate sleep-wake cycles, affecting 1 in 2,000 people globally. Symptoms of narcolepsy can include excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS), fragmented nighttime sleep, cataplexy, sleep paralysis, and hypnagogic/hypnopompic hallucinations. A normal person has to stay awake for 48-72hrs to experience the same symptoms as a person living with Narcolepsy does daily.
