10 Narcolepsy Symptoms
Symptom #5: Hallucinations
Our eyes, ears and other sense organs are very effective at telling us what is around us. This helps us to find what we need and navigate our surroundings, and also helps to keep us safe from potential danger. Sometimes, though, something will go wrong in the brain and we will detect things that are just not there.
Hallucinations are a fairly common symptom in people with narcolepsy. They will sometimes see, hear, smell and feel things that are just not there. Such hallucinations in narcoleptics tend to occur just as they are about to sleep, or just as they are waking up. While there may be nothing there in reality, the hallucinations will appear to be very real to the person suffering from them.
