10 Narcolepsy Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Mera
Symptom #2: Daytime Sleepiness
Usually, a good night’s sleep will help ensure that we are refreshed for the day ahead. It will usually not be until later in the evening that we will become sleepy again, at which point it is usually time for bed anyway. People with narcolepsy, however, can feel tired in the daytime no matter how much sleep they get the night before.
In addition to sleep attacks, people with narcolepsy can also end up falling asleep in the daytime because they are just plain tired. This can have a significant impact on their professional and social lives as they can struggle to focus and could also be branded as lazy. The condition is known as Excessive Daytime Sleepiness or EDS.
