Narcolepsy Everyone has had the experience of falling asleep during the day at an inappropriate time - during a dull lecture, for example. Usually, these experiences are normal, caused by a lack of sleep. However, people who generally get enough rest but often fall asleep at inappropriate times may be suffering from narcolepsy. Because the disorder's severity can vary, not everyone with narcolepsy will experience all symptoms. There is no cure for narcolepsy.
Treatment focuses on alleviating the symptoms so that patients can live normal lives.
Antidepressant medication to suppress cataplexy attacks Restless legs syndrome Restless legs syndrome is a sleep disorder in which patients can't help moving their legs, which prevents them from being able to go to sleep. It's more common among middle-aged or older people. There is some evidence that sleepwalking is genetically linked, occurring most commonly in children aged six to 12. Boys are more likely than girls to sleepwalk. If the sleepwalking begins by age nine, the sleepwalker may continue to sleepwalk as an adult.
