What are the red flags for narcolepsy?

Excessive daytime tiredness that endures after getting enough sleep at night is a common red flag for narcolepsy. Individuals may suffer from poor attention, unexpected sleep episodes, and trouble remaining awake during work or discussions. Additional warning indicators include sleep paralysis, vivid hallucinations during sleep or wakefulness, cataplexy (sudden muscular weakness brought on by emotions), and disrupted sleep at night. These symptoms can seriously interfere with day-to-day functioning and typically start in teens or early adulthood. Sleep investigations and medical examination are necessary for diagnosis. The goal of treatment is to manage symptoms, and doctors may recommend drugs like modafinil, such as Modvigil 200, to assist moderate daytime drowsiness under appropriate supervision.
