Last year, I warned you about the skyrocketing sales of Provigil (modafinil), a drug tailored to push Type A people into extreme workaholic behaviors by helping them avoid sleep . Provigil originally marketed to treat narcolepsy may soon be prescribed for shift workers and those suffering from chronic fatigue. A New England Journal of Medicine study found Provigil produced fewer lapses in attention and reduced the number of accidents or near-mishaps by shift workers during their daily commutes. According to researchers, well-rested patients take anywhere from 10-20 minutes to fall asleep. Before taking Provigil, it took shift workers about 2 minutes on average to get there. But after taking the drug, that lag time between increased to about 4 minutes, and some 77 percent of the patients were less likely to be sleepy during their night shift. Not that impressive... And, there were some serious caveats worth taking into consideration:

What is narcolepsy? Symptoms, causes, diagnosis, treatment and research discussed.
http://www.helpguide.org/life/narcolepsy_symptom_causes_treatments.htm

Extractions: From, Narcolepsy Basics (National Sleep Foundation) Narcolepsy, a chronic neurological disorder, is the second leading cause of excessive daytime sleepiness (after obstructive sleep apnea). People with narcolepsy typically experience: If you experience narcolepsy, you may have fallen asleep while working, cooking, or even driving. You are not alone. The National Center on Sleep Disorders Research reports that narcolepsy affects about 1 in 2,000 people and most people experience their first symptoms between the ages of 15 and 30. Evidence suggests that the condition is genetic. In addition to excessive daytime sleepiness and sudden episodes of falling asleep, other symptoms typically associated with narcolepsy are:

Extractions: ABSTRACT S odium gammahydroxybutyrate (GHB) is an endogenous compound that has been under investigation in the management of narcolepsy for about two decades. The data confirm that GHB treatment decreases daytime sleepiness and episodes of cataplexy, sleep paralysis, and hypnagogic hallucinations. The current study evaluated the pharmacokinetics of GHB, given twice in one night to six narcoleptic patients who had been chronically taking GHB nightly on a similar basis. Results confirmed earlier reports and showed nonlinear pharmacokinetics. Maximum concentrations were reached in 40 +/- 6.2 and 35.7 +/- 7 minutes after the first and second dose respectively. Mean AUCinf was 17731.6 +/- 4867 mg/mL/m. Mean GHB T1/2 was 53 +/- 19 minutes. GHB elimination appears to be capacity-limited in some patients when administered at a fixed dose of 3 g twice nightly at a 4-hour interval. GHB

Extractions: Sleep Links ... CPAP Machines and CPAP Masks Washington, DC - August 5, 1999 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 Mignot, MD, PhD, 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. Mignot predicts the finding will not only help the 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, PhD, director of the Sleep Disorders Research Center at Stanford. "Narcolepsy is the only known neurological disorder that affects the brain and sleep in such a dramatic way," said Mignot, who is director of Stanford's Center for Narcolepsy. It affects both humans and animals and has both genetic and sporadic forms. Usually beginning in adolescence, narcolepsy's symptoms include extreme daytime sleepiness, sleep paralysis a frightening inability to move shortly after awakening or shortly after dozing off as well as vivid auditory or visual hallucinations while asleep or while falling asleep.

Dr. Koop - Narcolepsy
narcolepsy is a sleep disorder associated with uncontrollable sleepiness andfrequent daytime sleeping.
http://www.drkoop.com/ency/93/000802.html

Extractions: Causes, incidence, and risk factors: The exact cause of narcolepsy is unknown. Studies using gene markers have indicated that the disorder may be genetic. A small group of neurons in the brain has been implicated in producing transitions from sleep to wakefulness and vice-versa. People with narcolepsy may have fewer of these neurons or they may have been damaged. The condition may be aggravated by conditions that cause insomnia , such as disruption of work schedules. Narcolepsy is characterized by episodes of frequent, uncontrollable daytime sleeping, usually preceded by drowsiness . The episodes usually occur after meals, but sudden onset of sleep may occur while working or driving a vehicle, having a conversation, or being in any sedentary or nonstimulating situation. There is a brief period of sleep, and the person awakens feeling refreshed. However, the person may again become uncontrollably sleepy a short time later.

http://www.fanlight.com/catalog/films/323_n.shtml

Extractions: More than one in 2,000 Americans - perhaps as many as 200,000 people - suffer from narcolepsy, a disorder characterized by the total disruption of the normal sleep pattern. Yet few healthcare providers have been trained to recognize narcolepsy and other sleep disorders, and the majority of sufferers remain undiagnosed. In fact, on average, the disorder is not correctly diagnosed until fourteen years after the person first experiences symptoms. This remarkable film presents the experiences of three individuals whose lives and relationships have been disrupted by narcolepsy. Intertwined with their compelling stories, it offers solid, comprehensive scientific information about this disorder, with the aid of Dr. Emmanuel Mignot, director of the Stanford University Center for Narcolepsy. People with narcolepsy are always sleepy, yet are unable to experience normal, rejuvenating sleep. They may also suffer from vivid hallucinations and temporary muscle paralysis when waking or falling asleep. Most dramatic, narcoleptics are plagued by an effect called cataplexy, where they may collapse without warning. While the popular misconception is that the person has fallen asleep, this is actually an uncontrollable paralysis of their voluntary muscles. The symptoms of narcolepsy typically arise during later adolescence or young adulthood. The condition has no cure, and its precise cause is unknown.

Polysomnography: short sleep latency, short REM sleep latency. Clinical symptoms Excessive sleepiness: Most common initial symptom Sleepiness is similar to those caused by sleep deprivation: most apparent in boring, sedentary situations and is partially relieved by movement. No amount of nighttime or daytime sleep produces full alertness. Cataplexy: Episodic weakness without altered consciousness lasting seconds to minutes. Precipitated by excitement or emotion: may occur several times daily or less than once per month. Laughter is the most common precipitant. Anger, embarrassment, excitement, and other forms of emotion also can induce it.

http://www.erowid.org/chemicals/ghb/ghb_patent2.shtml

Extractions: ABSTRACT Sleep disorders in mammals, such as insomnia and narcolepsy, are treated by administering an effective amount of ethyl 4-acetoxybutanoate, or a closely related homolog thereof. The compounds may also be administered to mammals to cause muscle relaxation and as animal anaesthetics. Moreover the compounds appear to inhibit the release of dopamine in the brain, and are hence useful also in treatment of conditions which are associated with abnormalities of dopamine release and dopamine sensitivities, such as Parkinson's disease, schizophrenia and tardive dyskenesia.

Site Map DHTML_MENU_rel_path = '/squizlib/dhtml_menu/images/'; Narcolepsy is a neurological disorder that causes episodes of unpreventable sleep. These episodes can occur frequently and at inappropriate times, for example while a person is talking, eating or driving. Although sleep episodes can occur at any time, they may be more frequent during periods of inactivity or monotonous, repetitive activity. Narcolepsy occurs when the part of the brain that regulates sleep and wakefulness does not function properly, causing sudden spells of Rapid-Eye-Movement (REM) sleep the dreaming state of sleep. These "sleep attacks last from a few seconds to 30 minutes, regardless of the amount or quality of night time sleep. These attacks result in episodes of sleep at work and social events, while eating, talking, driving, or on other similarly inappropriate occasions. Symptoms generally begin between the ages of 15 and 30. The four classic symptoms of the disorder (although not all sufferers will have all four) are: Excessive daytime sleepiness.

Antidepressant Drugs For Narcolepsy (Cochrane Review)
Abstract of a systematic review of the effects of health care prepared by theCochrane Collaboration.

Extractions: From The Cochrane Library, Issue 3, 2005 Antidepressant drugs for narcolepsy (Cochrane Review) Vignatelli L, D'Alessandro R, Candelise L ABSTRACT What's new in this issue Search abstracts Browse alphabetical list of titles Browse by Review Group A substantive amendment to this systematic review was last made on 01 May 2005. Cochrane reviews are regularly checked and updated if necessary. Background: Narcolepsy is a disorder of the central nervous system, the main symptoms of which are excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) and cataplexy (an abrupt and reversible decrease in or loss of muscle tone, affecting the limbs and/or trunk, elicited by emotional stimuli). Narcolepsy has an adverse impact on people's quality of life. Together with stimulant drugs (used to control EDS), antidepressants are usually recommended to counteract cataplexy. In addition, some antidepressants are also reported to improve EDS. Objectives: To evaluate the effects of antidepressant drugs on EDS, cataplexy, quality of life, and their side effects in people with narcolepsy. Search strategy: We searched the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (The Cochrane Library Issue 3, 2003), MEDLINE (1966 to 2003), EMBASE (1980 to 2003), PsycINFO (1872 to 2003), and CINAHL (1981 to 2003). Bibliographies of identified articles were reviewed to find additional references. Unpublished randomised trials were searched for by consulting governmental and non-governmental clinical trial registers, disease-specific websites, investigators and experts in the field, pharmaceutical companies/manufacturers.
