Narcolepsy Sufferers Are Unable To Control The Sleep-Wake Cycles
A New Drug Can Help Them, But It Has A Controversial Component
Narcolepsy sufferers have excessive daytime sleepiness, and well as cataplexy, which is a momentary muscle weakness. In some cases, it is triggered by emotions. This is caused by the brain’s inability to control the cycles of wake and sleep, and it sometimes decides to sleep at improper times. Sleep cycle normally begins between 10 and 12 pm and ends at 6 or 7 am the next day depending on the time one goes to bed and the number of sleep hours. Narcoleptic patients distribute the sleep hours along the 24 hours of the day. There is a drug that can treat this but has a controversial component. Additional details click here.
