Many people wonder, "What is narcolepsy?"  Narcolepsy is a sleep disorder where patients have a sudden urge to sleep in the daytime.  Narcolepsy is a disorder where medical diagnosis and treatment is very important.  Narcolepsy can be very dangerous if someone falls asleep and they are not somewhere safe such as behind the wheel of a car.  Patients who have this sleep disorder often deal with various therapies after diagnosis to determine which narcolepsy therapies are most effective for the patients.  If you are having sudden, uncontrollable urges to sleep in the daytime, seek medical treatment for a complete diagnosis of the disorder and so that you can get medication to control the urges.

Falling asleep in the daytime uncontrollably can be inconvenient on one end of the spectrum and dangerous on the other end.  Therapies that allow medical treatment of the disease will manage it so that you are not a danger to yourself or others.  Consult with a physician and the doctor will be able to help ensure that you remain safe and healthy and that you are on medication that will help treat your symptoms and allow you to lead a more normal and healthy lifestyle.  Those who have the disease are generally able to do anything anyone else would if their medication is maintained and they have regular check ups.
