Narcolepsy is a chronic neurological disorder that affects the brain’s ability to regulate sleep-wake cycles. At REFRESH SLEEP MEDICAL CLINIC, we recognize the profound impact narcolepsy can have on individuals’ lives and are dedicated to providing comprehensive care and support for those living with this condition.
Narcolepsy is characterized by excessive daytime sleepiness and sudden, uncontrollable episodes of falling asleep during the day, known as “sleep attacks.” These episodes often lead to disrupted daily activities and social interactions. In addition to daytime sleepiness, individuals with narcolepsy may experience other symptoms, including cataplexy (a sudden loss of muscle tone triggered by strong emotions), sleep paralysis, hallucinations, and disrupted nighttime sleep.
Our dedicated team of specialists works closely with patients to develop personalized treatment plans, addressing both medical and emotional aspects of narcolepsy management. Empowering education and awareness are fundamental to our approach, as we aim to help individuals with narcolepsy and their loved ones understand the condition better, manage its symptoms, and find a sense of community and understanding within our clinic.
