Narcolepsy is a neurological disorder caused by the brain’s  inability to regulate sleep-wake cycles normally. The main features of  narcolepsy are excessive daytime sleepiness and cataplexy. The disease  is also often associated with sudden sleep attacks, insomnia, dream-like hallucinations, and a condition called sleep paralysis. Its prevalence  in the developed world is approximately the same as that of multiple sclerosis or Parkinson’s disease.
