Narcolepsy is a brain-related disorder that causes disruption of the body's natural sleep/wake process. While this condition is usually not immediately dangerous, there may be risks in certain situations. It can also severely disrupt your life, routine, and activities. Many people with this condition may have problems with daily activities such as working and driving.

There is no cure for the condition, but it can be managed with treatment, and most people with narcolepsy will see at least some improvement from treatment. Modifying sleep-related behaviors can also help. While it's not always possible to prevent the symptoms of narcolepsy, many people can manage the condition and adapt to most of its effects.
