Narcolepsy
Narcolepsy is a chronic sleep disorder, or dyssomnia. The condition is characterized by excessive daytime sleepiness in which a person experiences extreme fatigue and possibly falls asleep at inappropriate times, such as whilst at work or at school

Recent Developments in Narcolepsy Research, An Explanation for Patients and the General Public
Narcolepsy is no longer a mysterious disease. In work reported this September, our group at UCLA and Mignot's group at Stanford independently identified abnormalities in human brains that pinpoint the cause of most human narcolepsy.
