| Narcolepsy may make it hard to wake up, particularly during daytime drowsiness or cataplectic attacks. It may take longer to wake up from deep sleep than for persons without the disease.
To control daytime drowsiness and increase alertness, Modalert (modafinil) is commonly recommended. Some people may continue have deep sleep or trouble waking up after therapy.
To treat their symptoms, narcolepsy patients need a supportive environment with planned naps and a predictable sleep habit. Regular doctor visits might help keep treatment strategies successful.
