    Narcolepsy is a nervous system disorder characterized by excessive daytime sleepiness, frequent sleep attacks, and reduced levels of hypocretin. Symptoms include drowsiness, cataplexy, and urges to sleep for long periods. It can be caused by reduced hypocretin levels, genetic factors, or disrupted sleep schedules. While there is no cure, treatment options include lifestyle changes, scheduled naps, medications like modafinil and sodium oxybate.
