Narcolepsy
Narcolepsy is a chronic sleep disorder that affects the brain's ability to regulate sleep-wake cycles.
Narcolepsy can cause difficulty in staying awake during work or social situations
Narcolepsy is characterized by excessive daytime sleepiness and sudden, uncontrollable episodes of falling asleep during the day, even in the middle of activities such as eating, working, or driving. People with narcolepsy often experience disruptions in nighttime sleep as well, such as frequent awakenings or vivid dreams.
Our team of experienced healthcare professionals is dedicated to helping you overcome your symptoms and regain your health.
