What is Narcolepsy?
Narcolepsy is a long-term sleep disorder that causes overwhelming daytime sleepiness and sudden episodes of falling asleep, even during activities. It can also involve cataplexy, sleep paralysis, and vivid dreams. Because symptoms may mimic other conditions or cause confusion in unfamiliar situations, it’s important to carry clear identification. An ICE card ensures emergency staff are aware of your diagnosis, reducing the chance of misdiagnosis and helping guide appropriate care.
