I sense it and I know it... and I am also aware that somebody is coming up to me, looking at me, running his fingers over me, climbing on to my bed, kneeling on my chest, taking me by the throat and squeezing... squeezing... with all its might, trying to strangle me. I struggle, but I am tied down by that dreadful feeling of helplessness which paralyzes us in our dreams. I want to cry out – but I can’t. I want to move – I can’t do it. I try, making terrible, strenuous efforts, gasping for breath, to turn on my side, to throw off this creature who is crushing me and choking me – but I can’t! Then, suddenly, I wake up, panic-stricken, covered in sweat. I light a candle. I am alone. Hello! Welcome to my place.

   Extractions: "Imagine falling asleep while at the wheel waiting for a green light, or at work, as happened to my patients. Excessive daytime sleepiness is often the most disabling symptom of narcolepsy and the most difficult to treat. The goal of my research is to find better ways to control this symptom.." Ann E. Rogers PhD, RN Associate Professor, University of Pennsylvania Narcolepsy is a chronic neurological disorder characterized by excessive daytime sleepiness and sleep attacks. Other symptoms include brief episodes of muscle weakness or paralysis, dream-like images when falling asleep and disturbed sleep at night. Narcolepsy effects equal numbers of men and women and occurs in all racial groups. This sleep disorder usually develops during the late teens or early twenties and continues throughout the individual's life. Early diagnosis and appropriate medical care are critical for reducing the adverse effects of this disorder. With adequate medication and support from their teachers, employers and families, most patients can enjoy a near-normal lifestyle. Unfortunately, many patients remain undiagnosed and undertreated.

Narcolepsy is typically characterized by the following 4 symptoms with varying frequencies: Excessive daytime sleepiness (90%) Sleep paralysis (paralysis that occurs most often upon falling asleep or waking up; the person is unable to move for a few minutes) (25%) Less frequently persons have all four symptoms (15%).

Narcolepsy is a disabling illness affecting more than 1 in 2,000 Americans. Most individuals with the disorder are not diagnosed and are thus not treated. The disease is principally characterized by a permanent and overwhelming feeling of sleepiness and fatigue. Other symptoms involve abnormalities of dreaming sleep, such as dream-like hallucinations and finding oneself physically weak or paralyzed for a few seconds (see Symptoms Founded in the early 1970s by Dr. William Dement, the Stanford University Sleep Clinic was the first medical clinic ever established to specialize in sleep disorders. The clinic diagnoses and treats patients who have difficulties falling asleep or staying asleep at night, problems with excessive daytime sleepiness or other medical problems occurring during sleep. The Stanford Center for Narcolepsy was established in the 1980s as part of the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences.

Kleine-Levin Syndrome on this page Epidemiology Socio-Economic Impact Symptoms Diagnosis Narcolepsy is a frequent disorder: it is the second leading cause of excessive daytime sleepiness diagnosed by sleep centers after obstructive sleep apnea. Studies on the epidemiology of narcolepsy show an incidence of 0.2 to 1.6 per thousand in European countries, Japan and the United States, a frequency at least as large as that of Multiple Sclerosis. In many cases, however, diagnosis is not made until many years after the onset of symptoms. This is often due to the fact that patients consult a physician after many years of excessive sleepiness, assuming that sleepiness is not indicative of a disease. Narcolepsy is a very disabling and underdiagnosed illness: the effect of narcolepsy on its victims is devastating. Studies have shown that even treated narcoleptic patients are often markedly psychosocially impaired in the area of work, leisure, interpersonal relations, and are more prone to accidents. These effects are even more severe than the well-documented deleterious effects of epilepsy when similar criteria are used for comparison. The large majority of narcoleptic patients in this country are still undiagnosed, and narcoleptic subjects are most often diagnosed only after many years of struggle. In one recent study, the mean number of years between the onset of symptoms and correct diagnosis was 14 years. Since the symptoms of narcolepsy usually appear during adolescence, this means that most narcoleptic patients are diagnosed too late to prevent the dramatic impact of the disease on their personal and professional development.
