What is narcolepsy?

In 1975, the first international symposium on narcolepsy was held in France, at which the following definition was made: it is a ** unclear syndrome, characterized by abnormal sleep tendencies, including excessive daytime sleepiness, nocturnal sleep disturbance, and pathological REM sleep. This unexplained sleep disorder is characterized by long-term decreased alertness and episodic irresistible sleep.

Most patients have one or more other symptoms, including cataplexy, sleep paralysis, and hypnogenic hallucinations, which is also known as episodic sleep tetralogy.

Narcolepsy is a disease characterized by irresistible short-term sleep episodes. More often than onset in childhood or adolescence. Most patients are accompanied by other symptoms such as cataplexy, sleep paralysis, and sleep hallucinations, which are collectively known as narcolepsy.

Narcolepsy: Another type of narcolepsy.

Excessive daytime sleepiness is the first symptom of narcolepsy, in which patients present with sudden, unpredictable excessive sleepiness and irresistible sleep episodes. This is often the case in inappropriate situations, such as falling asleep while eating, driving, or working. It is common to see such patients have had several traffic accidents or work accidents, and sometimes they lose their jobs as a result.

However, patients with narcolepsy often complain of insomnia at night, which may be due to frequent hallucinations during sleep onset or sleep paralysis, resulting in intermittent sleep at night and inability to sleep until dawn; It may also be because of excessive daytime sleepiness that interferes with sleep at night. Narcolepsy, the total number of hours of sleep 24 hours a day, is not longer than normal.

Narcolepsy is a condition characterized by irresistible short-term sleep episodes. It is more common than onset in childhood or adolescence, and the incidence is similar in both men and women. Some patients may have a history of encephalitis or head injury.

The pathogenesis is unclear and may be related to decreased function of the ascending reticular activation system of the brainstem or hyperfunction of the caudal reticular nucleus of the pontine brain. Most patients are accompanied by other symptoms such as cataplexy, sleep paralysis, and sleep hallucinations, which are collectively called narcolepsy.

Narcolepsy.

Tetralogy. The term narcolepsy, coined by Gelineau in 1880, is used to describe a pathological condition characterized by involuntary, short, recurrent sleep in a short period of time, so this disease is also known as Gelineau syndrome.

It was not until the First International Symposium on Narcolepsy in 1975 that the following definition of narcolepsy was made: narcolepsy is an unidentified syndrome characterized by a tendency to abnormal sleep, including daytime sleepiness and frequent nocturnal sleep abnormalities, with pathological REM sleep manifestations. REM sleep abnormalities, including rapid eye movement sleep at the beginning of sleep, cataplexy unrelated to REM inhibition, and sleep paralysis.

Narcolepsy is mainly manifested as irresistible transient sleep episodes during the day, often occurring 3-4 hours after waking up, although trying to stay awake during the attack, but can not control itself, soon into a state of sleep, sleep generally lasts for a few minutes, can occur multiple times a day. Seizures occur regardless of time, place, or activity. Although sleep episodes often occur when the environment is monotonous enough for a normal person to fall asleep, they can also occur in dangerous situations (e.g., driving, crossing the street, working at height, etc.).

Wakes up feeling energetic, clear-headed, irritable and irritable if prevented from falling asleep. You can wake up and fall back asleep a few minutes later.

Although there are frequent sleep episodes during the day, the total sleep time in a day is usually not increased, and it can be observed in EEG recordings that the onset of REM sleep begins immediately onset, whereas normal REM sleep is preceded by non-REM sleep and usually lasts 60 to 90 minutes. Nighttime sleep is often unsatisfactory and can be interrupted by vivid and frightening dreams.

Drowsiness is a neurological disorder that causes irrepressible sleep. These sleep stages occur frequently and at inappropriate times, such as when talking, eating, or driving. Although sleep can occur at any time, it most often occurs during phases of inactivity or monotonous, repetitive activity.

Drowsiness usually initially occurs in the age group of 15 to 30 years, but some people experience drowsiness earlier or later. Once drowsiness occurs, it will stay with you for the rest of your life. Men and women are affected to the same extent.

The first symptoms of drowsiness are usually heavy daytime drowsiness. However, it can take years to confirm that a patient does have the condition, as there are many other causes of excessive daytime sleepiness.

Drowsiness is defined in medicine by 4 main symptoms, which are known as the drowsiness tetrad:

Excessive daytime sleepiness – this symptom is always present and is usually the most noticeable.

Cataplexy – Cataplexy refers to a sudden or temporary loss of muscle mass, which causes paralysis of the head or body without loss of consciousness. It can last for a few seconds or minutes. Mild symptoms include slurred speech or stuttering, drooping eyelids, or weakness in fingers.

Severe cataplexy can cause the knee to bend and cause prostration. Laughter, excitement, or anger are typical causes of cataplexy. The sudden relaxation of muscle mass may be the result of the brain suddenly going into REM sleep.

Less than half of patients with narcolepsy have cataplexy.

This classification means that the symptoms are different for the patient.
