New Drug for Narcolepsy By: Ju dy Foreman Mary Rourke, a 55-year old teacher from Salem, N.H., used to nod off all the time as a child, but people just shrugged and said, “Oh, she must be very tired,” she recalls. Then, as an adult, she began having attacks in which her muscles would lose tone and she’d fall– every time she laughed or felt any strong emotion. “I was constantly falling,” she says. “If you told me a joke, I’d flip. I couldn’t be around people.” In Massachusetts, a 49-year old nurse from Norwood who asked that her name not be published also used to crash helplessly to the floor whenever she laughed or got angry, a fact her children quickly learned to exploit. “I couldn’t yell at my kids when they were younger because if I got too mad, I couldn’t stand up,” she says. Things were even worse for Bob Cloud, a 58-year old lawyer from Cincinnati, Ohio. It was bad enough falling asleep talking to judges, he says, but one day he went limp while swimming and had to be rescued. At least, he says, that provided a “great educational opportunity” to tell stunned onlookers what was really wrong: A brain disorder called narcolepsy, characterized by extreme daytime sleepiness and caused by low levels of a brain chemical called hypocretin. In many cases, low hypocretin levels also cause cataplexy, sudden loss of muscle tone due to the intrusion of dreaming (REM) sleep in the waking state.

Site Map Narcolepsy Gene Discovered at Stanford Stanford Team Isolates Narcolepsy Gene in the Canine For Release: Thursday, August 5, at 5:00 EDT, to coincide with publication August 6 issue of Cell. STANFORD RESEARCHERS NAB GENE FOR SLEEP DISORDER STANFORD - After a decade-long search, a Stanford-led team has identified a gene that causes the sleep disorder narcolepsy a breakthrough that brings a cure for this disabling condition within reach, the scientists say. The researchers, led by Emmanuel Minot, MD Ph.D. , associate professor of psychiatry at Stanford University School of Medicine, used a technique called positional cloning to pinpoint the gene in dogs, one of the few species besides humans known to develop narcolepsy. Minot predicts the finding will not only help roughly 135,000 Americans who suffer from narcolepsy, but in time it will shed light on two of the biggest mysteries in sleep research: how and why we sleep. "This discovery is the exciting culmination of 36 years of research on narcolepsy at Stanford," said William Dement, MD, Ph.D., director of the Sleep Disorders Research Center at Stanford.

People with the disorder often find it difficult to stay awake for long periods of time, regardless of the circumstances. Narcolepsy comes from the Greek word narke , meaning "stupor." About 135,000 Americans have narcolepsy, but many more may be undiagnosed. Narcolepsy often is mistaken for depression, seizure disorder, fainting, simple lack of sleep, or other conditions that may cause abnormal sleep patterns.

NARCOLEPSY Narcolepsy is a neurological disorder, which causes excessive sleepiness. This condition usually develops in younger individuals, and is lifelong. In addition to excessive sleepiness, patients with narcolepsy sometimes experience muscle weakness during strong emotion (cataplexy). Symptoms: People with narcolepsy fall asleep unexpectedly many times during the day. Not only can this be embarrassing, but it can be very dangerous. The Cause is a nervous system disorder involving the REM phase of sleep. The person may doze on and off throughout the day. Other symptoms of Narcolepsy Extreme sleepiness Hallucinations just before or after sleep Muscle weakness when emotions are strong Inability to move for several minutes after waking up. A Daytime Study (MSLT) called a Multiple Sleep Latency Test An MSLT can help confirm narcolepsy. The MSLT should be performed after a night in the sleep lab. The night study documents that there is not another sleep disorder causing your daytime sleepiness. MSLT's are performed to examine your degree of daytime sleepiness.

Lifespan Home Page Sleep Sleep Disorders Narcolepsy Narcolepsy Narcolepsy is a disorder that can be brought on by intense emotion and cause uncontrollable episodes of falling asleep during the normal waking hours. Approximately 125,000 people in the United States are affected by narcolepsy. This disorder usually begins in the teens or early twenties but can be seen in children or the elderly. The main symptoms of narcolepsy are: Excessive daytime sleepiness and "sleep attacks" are the most common symptom of narcolepsy. A sleep attack is suddenly and unexpectedly falling asleep and can last for only a few minutes or up to an hour. Cataplexy , a secondary symptom of narcolepsy, is the sudden, temporary loss of muscle strength. Cataplexy can be so severe that it can lead to complete collapse. During a cataplectic attack the person is completely awake and can stay in a collapsed state for 15 to 30 minutes. Hypnogogic hallucinations are another symptom of narcolepsy and are similar to nightmares. These hallucinations occur upon awakening and falling asleep. They can be visual, auditory, or tactile and last for a few minutes. Hypnogigic hallucinations occur in only five percent of the narcoleptic population and can be misdiagnosed as schizophrenia.

BRINGING SECRETS OF THE NIGHT TO THE LIGHT OF DAY... Understanding the symptoms of sleep disorders. NARCOLEPSY What is narcolepsy? -One of the commoner causes of severe excessive sleepiness. -There are three basic reasons that a person could be too sleepy: INADEQUATE OR POOR QUALITY SLEEP Best example: patients with sleep apnea . Their alertness will be restored once their sleep-related breathing problems are controlled. IMPAIRED BRAIN MECHANISMS THAT NORMALLY SHOULD KEEP ONE AWAKE In such cases, even if sleep were perfect, the individual would still be too sleepy . Best example: narcolepsy. A COMBINATION OF BOTH OF THE ABOVE For example, some people develop narcolepsy in late childhood or their teen yearsand then, with increased age and weight, also develop sleep apnea: making an already bad situation worse. CRUCIAL POINT ! If a patient with both sleep apnea and narcolepsy is treated at a facility that focusses only on sleep apnea and if the diagnosis of narcolepsy is missed, the results can be disastrous. Treatment of sleep apnea in individuals with both problems will make them "better but not better enough The fact that management of sleep apnea will protect them against cardiac complications and stroke will be small consolation should they subsequently fall asleep at the wheel anyway, from their still untreated narcolepsy, with serious injury or death of self or others.
